Use of the container shell

With the OSISM CLI it is possible to enter a shell on a container running on a node.

This is useful, for example, to view running instances that are managed via Libvirt.

In this example, the command virsh list is executed in the nova_libvirt container running on the com1069 node.

$ osism console com1069/nova_libvirt
(nova-libvirt)[root@com1069 /]# virsh list
 Id    Name                State
------------------------------------
 190   instance-001b2492   running

(nova-libvirt)[root@com1069 /]#
