.. _console:
Configure node web console
--------------------------
The web console can be configured in Bare Metal service in the following way:
* Install shellinabox in ironic conductor node. For RHEL/CentOS, shellinabox package
is not present in base repositories, user must enable EPEL repository, you can find
more from `FedoraProject page`_.
Installation example::
Ubuntu:
sudo apt-get install shellinabox
Fedora 21/RHEL7/CentOS7:
sudo yum install shellinabox
Fedora 22 or higher:
sudo dnf install shellinabox
You can find more about shellinabox on the `shellinabox page`_.
You can optionally use the SSL certificate in shellinabox. If you want to use the SSL
certificate in shellinabox, you should install openssl and generate the SSL certificate.
1. Install openssl, for example::
Ubuntu:
sudo apt-get install openssl
Fedora 21/RHEL7/CentOS7:
sudo yum install openssl
Fedora 22 or higher:
sudo dnf install openssl
2. Generate the SSL certificate, here is an example, you can find more about openssl on
the `openssl page`_::
cd /tmp/ca
openssl genrsa -des3 -out my.key 1024
openssl req -new -key my.key -out my.csr
cp my.key my.key.org
openssl rsa -in my.key.org -out my.key
openssl x509 -req -days 3650 -in my.csr -signkey my.key -out my.crt
cat my.crt my.key > certificate.pem
* Customize the console section in the Bare Metal service configuration
file (/etc/ironic/ironic.conf), if you want to use SSL certificate in
shellinabox, you should specify ``terminal_cert_dir``.
for example::
[console]
#
# Options defined in ironic.drivers.modules.console_utils
#
# Path to serial console terminal program (string value)
#terminal=shellinaboxd
# Directory containing the terminal SSL cert(PEM) for serial
# console access (string value)
terminal_cert_dir=/tmp/ca
# Directory for holding terminal pid files. If not specified,
# the temporary directory will be used. (string value)
#terminal_pid_dir=<None>
# Time interval (in seconds) for checking the status of
# console subprocess. (integer value)
#subprocess_checking_interval=1
# Time (in seconds) to wait for the console subprocess to
# start. (integer value)
#subprocess_timeout=10
* Append console parameters for bare metal PXE boot in the Bare Metal service
configuration file (/etc/ironic/ironic.conf), including right serial port
terminal and serial speed, serial speed should be same serial configuration
with BIOS settings, so that os boot process can be seen in web console,
for example::
pxe_* driver:
[pxe]
#Additional append parameters for bare metal PXE boot. (string value)
pxe_append_params = nofb nomodeset vga=normal console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200n8
* Configure node web console.
Enable the web console, for example::
ironic node-update <node-uuid> add driver_info/<terminal_port>=<customized_port>
ironic node-set-console-mode <node-uuid> true
Check whether the console is enabled, for example::
ironic node-validate <node-uuid>
Disable the web console, for example::
ironic node-set-console-mode <node-uuid> false
ironic node-update <node-uuid> remove driver_info/<terminal_port>
The ``<terminal_port>`` is driver dependent. The actual name of this field can be
checked in driver properties, for example::
ironic driver-properties <driver>
For ``*_ipmitool`` and ``*_ipminative`` drivers, this option is ``ipmi_terminal_port``.
For ``seamicro`` driver, this option is ``seamicro_terminal_port``. Give a customized port
number to ``<customized_port>``, for example ``8023``, this customized port is used in
web console url.
* Get web console information::
ironic node-get-console <node-uuid>
+-----------------+----------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Property | Value |
+-----------------+----------------------------------------------------------------------+
| console_enabled | True |
| console_info | {u'url': u'http://<url>:<customized_port>', u'type': u'shellinabox'} |
+-----------------+----------------------------------------------------------------------+
You can open web console using above ``url`` through web browser. If ``console_enabled`` is
``false``, ``console_info`` is ``None``, web console is disabled. If you want to launch web
console, refer to ``Enable web console`` part.
