Adds instructions to perform nodes migration

This patch add a section to OneView driver docs with instructions
to migrate nodes from pre-allocaiton model to dynamic allocation
model using Ironic CLI.

Migrating from pre-allocation to dynamic allocation
===================================================
The migration of a node from an ironic deployment using ``pre-allocation``
model to the new ``dynamic allocation`` model can be done by using
``ironic-oneview-cli`` facilities to migrate nodes (further details on [8]_).
However, the same results can be achieved using the ironic CLI as explained
below.
Checking if a node can be migrated
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
It is recommended to migrate nodes which are in a stable `provision state`. That
means the the conductor is not performing an operation with the node, what can
impact in the execution of a migration. The possible stable `provision_state`
values [9_] are: `enroll`, `manageable`, `available`, `active`, `error`,
`clean failed` and `inspect failed`.
Dynamic allocation mode changes the way a ``Server Profile`` is associated with
a node. In ``pre-allocation`` mode, when a node is registered in ironic, there
must be a ``Server Profile`` applied to the ``Server Hardware`` represented by
the given node what means, from the OneView point of view, the hardware is in
use. In the ``dynamic allocation`` mode a ``Server Hardware`` is associated only
when the node is in use by the Compute service or the OneView itself. As a
result, there are different steps to perform if the node has an instance
provisioned, in other words, when the `provisioning_state` is set to `active`.
.. note::
Verify if the node has not already been migrated checking if there is
a `dynamic_allocation` field set to ``True`` in the `driver_info` namespace
doing::
$ ironic node-show --fields driver_info
Migrating nodes in `active` state
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
List nodes that are in `active` state doing::
$ ironic node-list --provision-state active --fields uuid driver_info
Execute the following steps for each node:
1. Remove the node's ``Server Profile`` from the ``Server Hardware`` in OneView.
To identify which ``Server Profile`` is associated with a node check the
property ``server_hardware_uri`` in the ``driver_info`` namespace doing::
$ ironic node-show <node-uuid> --fields driver_info
2. Then, using the ``server_hardware_uri``, log into OneView and remove the
``Server Profile``.
3. Finally, set the `dynamic_allocation` flag in the ``driver_info`` namespace
to ``True`` in order to finish the migration of the node doing::
$ ironic node-update <node-uuid> add driver_info/dynamic_allocation=True
Other cases for migration
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Remember these steps are valid for nodes in the following states: `enroll`,
`manageable`, `available`, `error`, `clean failed` and `inspect failed`. So,
list the nodes in a given state, then execute the migration following steps for
each node:
1. Place the node in maintenance mode to prevent ironic from working on the node
during the migration doing::
$ ironic node-set-maintenance --reason "Migrating node to dynamic allocation" <node_uuid> true
.. note::
It's recommended to check if the node's state has not changed as there is no way
of locking the node between these commands.
2. Identify which ``Server Profile`` is associated by checking the property
``server_hardware_uri`` in the ``driver_info`` namespace. Using the
``server_hardware_uri``, log into OneView and remove the ``Server Profile``.
3. Set the `dynamic_allocation` to ``True`` in the flag ``driver_info``
namespace doing::
$ ironic node-update $NODE_UUID add driver_info/dynamic_allocation=True
4. Finally, in order to put the node back into the resource pool, remove the
node from maintenance mode doing::
$ ironic node-set-maintenance <node_uuid> false
