Downloading pvsadm and getting VIP details

pvsadm is an unsupported tool that helps with Power Virtual Server administration. I needed this detail for my CAPI tests.

1. Get the latest download_url per StackOverflow

$ curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/ppc64le-cloud/pvsadm/releases/latest | grep browser_download_url | cut -d '"' -f 4
...
https://github.com/ppc64le-cloud/pvsadm/releases/download/v0.1.7/pvsadm-linux-ppc64le
...

2. Download the pvsadm tool using the url from above.

$ curl -o pvsadm -L https://github.com/ppc64le-cloud/pvsadm/releases/download/v0.1.7/pvsadm-linux-ppc64le
  % Total    % Received % Xferd  Average Speed   Time    Time     Time  Current
                                 Dload  Upload   Total   Spent    Left  Speed
  0     0    0     0    0     0      0      0 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:--     0
100 21.4M  100 21.4M    0     0  34.9M      0 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:-- 34.9M

3. Make the pvsadm tool executable

$ chmod +x pvsadm

4. Create the API Key at https://cloud.ibm.com/iam/apikeys

5. On the terminal, export the IBMCLOUD_API_KEY.

$ export IBMCLOUD_API_KEY=...REDACTED...      

6. Grab the details of your network VIP using your service name and network.

$ ./pvsadm get ports --instance-name demo --network topman-pub-net
