Cluster Driver

The cluster driver combines the CLI, REST, and Bench components as a cluster.  This allows the use of a function or variable from another driver without the need to specify that specific driver.  For example,

main.Cluster.active( 0 ).devices()

main.ONOScli1.devices()

main.Cluster.active( 0 ).CLI.sendline()

Creating A Driver

• Create .py file under "/drivers/common/cli/.." . In this example, the driver is placed under cli > emulator(folderpath) hierarchy. If the user wishes to create a driver that is integrated with an API library, then the same can be created under api-emulator (folder path). The driver should be placed in the same folder as the inherited driver.
• The class name must be the same as the driver name. Naming convention for the module name is lower case letters. Naming convention for the class name is CamelCase. In the test .topo file specify the component driver as 'type' = 'DriverName'. 
• Create a function in the new driver class "connect" with a suitable return type. It will facilitate the connection for component or remote host used for driver.
• Create more functions/api in DriverName class with suitable defined parameters.
