Proposed Change
Adds appliance-class identities to
datagen, so the environment can model storagearrays and network hardware alongside general-purpose hosts.
ApplianceOS({Vendor, Family, Version}) for closed embedded OSes (NimbleOS,TMOS, IOS-XE, PAN-OS, and the rest), kept separate from the
OSTypeenum sincethese aren't Linux from a consumer's view.
StorageSystemIdentity: vendor/model/serial, storage-fabric IDs (WWN, IQN, WWPN,NAA in vendor-correct formats), capacity and hardware facets, and a management
interface. First vendor pools cover HPE (Nimble, 3PAR, the Alletra family,
StoreOnce).
NetworkSystemIdentity: base hardware plus composable capability facets (L2switching, L3 routing, firewall, load balancing, wireless), so a product composes
facets like a BIG-IP or Catalyst. First pools cover F5, Cisco, Arista, Juniper,
Palo Alto, and Fortinet.
StyleAppliancehostnames ({vendor}-{role}-{site}-{NN}), which don't collidewith the mythology pools.
GenerateEnvironmentcomposes storage and network systems alongside generalsystems, sharing the seed config, with
StorageSystems/NetworkSystemsseedoverrides and management interfaces bound to subnets.
Validate()rejects malformed WWN/IQN/NAA and incoherent vendor/model combinations.Nothing outside
datagenconsumes these yet.Validation: from a scratch harness, call
GenerateEnvironmentwith a populatedcounts config and inspect
AllStorageSystems()/AllNetworkSystems()for coherentvendor/model/OS triples and non-colliding hostnames. Tests cover determinism from a
shared seed, environment composition, vendor/model coherence (a Nimble identity
can't carry
tmos), and theValidate()rejections.Checklist
