Get UUID of a disk in a salt state

[Kai]

Hello,

I want to do the following:

{% set dev_data = '/dev/sdb' %}

{% set dev_data_uuid = (somehow get the uuid of dev_data)%}

Whats the correct way to execute

salt 'server' disk.blkid /dev/sdb

here and than get the UUID.

Thanks,

Kai

Hi Kai,

Have you tried the following?

{% set dev_data_uuid = salt['disk.blkid'](dev_data) %}

Let me know if that worked!

Regards,
Jakub

Hi,

thanks, but that gives me: {'/dev/sdb': {'TYPE': 'xfs', 'UUID': '882ea96e-0a5e-4720-9b04-cb765206ee98'}}

I only need the UUID.

How do I access just the UUID field in the state?

Thanks,

Kai

Try adding [0]['UUDI'] or ['UUID'] at the end of the command i gave you earlier.

If I do that, I get:

 Rendering SLS 'base:mystate' failed: Jinja variable dict object has no element 0

This is in my statefile:

{% set dev_data_uuid = salt['disk.blkid'](dev_data) [0]['UUID'] %}

or:

Rendering SLS 'base:mysql.mystate' failed: Jinja variable 'dict object' has no attribute 'UUID'

With this in my statefile:

{% set dev_data_uuid = salt['disk.blkid'](dev_data) ['UUID'] %}

Thank you for your help!

Morning Kai,

This below works fine for me - blkid wasn't available on my system but
the following example should
shed some light on how to approach your issue.

{% set dev_data = "/" %}
{% set dev_data_percent = salt['disk.inodeusage']('') %}

/tmp/donkeyballs:
file.append:
- text: |
{{dev_data_percent[dev_data]['free']}}


Give me a shout if you still having problems.
