Unused by Nova and unlike memory_mb/local_gb also by Ironic (actually, our usage of local_gb is worth double-checking as well, but at the very least it's referenced by inspection implementations). Change-Id: Ie8b0d9f58f4dcd102c183c30ae7f5acf68a5e4c3

Preparing images
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
If you don't use Image service, it's possible to provide images to Bare Metal
|
|
service via a URL.
|
|
|
|
At the moment, only two types of URLs are acceptable instead of Image
|
|
service UUIDs: HTTP(S) URLs (for example, "http://my.server.net/images/img")
|
|
and file URLs (file:///images/img).
|
|
|
|
There are however some limitations for different hardware interfaces:
|
|
|
|
* If you're using :ref:`direct-deploy` with HTTP(s) URLs, you have to provide
|
|
the Bare Metal service with the a checksum of your instance image.
|
|
|
|
MD5 is used by default for backward compatibility reasons. To compute an MD5
|
|
checksum, you can use the following command:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
$ md5sum image.qcow2
|
|
ed82def8730f394fb85aef8a208635f6 image.qcow2
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, use a SHA256 checksum or any other algorithm supported by
|
|
the Python's hashlib_, e.g.:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
$ sha256sum image.qcow2
|
|
9f6c942ad81690a9926ff530629fb69a82db8b8ab267e2cbd59df417c1a28060 image.qcow2
|
|
|
|
* :ref:`direct-deploy` started supporting ``file://`` images in the Victoria
|
|
release cycle, before that only HTTP(s) had been supported.
|
|
|
|
.. warning::
|
|
File images must be accessible to every conductor! Use a shared file
|
|
system if you have more than one conductor. The ironic CLI tool will not
|
|
transfer the file from a local machine to the conductor(s).
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
The Bare Metal service tracks content changes for non-Glance images by
|
|
checking their modification date and time. For example, for HTTP image,
|
|
if 'Last-Modified' header value from response to a HEAD request to
|
|
"http://my.server.net/images/deploy.ramdisk" is greater than cached image
|
|
modification time, Ironic will re-download the content. For "file://"
|
|
images, the file system modification time is used.
|
|
|
|
If the HTTP server does not provide the last modification date and time,
|
|
the image will be redownloaded every time it is used.

Enrolling nodes
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
#. Create a node in Bare Metal service. At minimum, you must specify the driver
|
|
name (for example, ``ipmi``). You can also specify all the required
|
|
driver parameters in one command. This will return the node UUID:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
$ baremetal node create --driver ipmi \
|
|
--driver-info ipmi_address=ipmi.server.net \
|
|
--driver-info ipmi_username=user \
|
|
--driver-info ipmi_password=pass \
|
|
--driver-info deploy_kernel=file:///images/deploy.vmlinuz \
|
|
--driver-info deploy_ramdisk=http://my.server.net/images/deploy.ramdisk
|

|
|
| driver_info | {u'deploy_ramdisk': u'http://my.server.net/images/deploy.ramdisk', |
|
|
| | u'deploy_kernel': u'file:///images/deploy.vmlinuz', u'ipmi_address': |
|
|
| | u'ipmi.server.net', u'ipmi_username': u'user', u'ipmi_password': |
|
|
| | u'******'} |
|
|
| extra | {} |
|
|
| driver | ipmi |
|
|
| chassis_uuid | |
|
|
| properties | {} |
|
|
+--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
|
|
|
|
Note that here deploy_kernel and deploy_ramdisk contain links to
|
|
images instead of Image service UUIDs.
|
|
|
|
#. As in case of Compute service, you can also provide ``capabilities`` to node
|
|
properties, but they will be used only by Bare Metal service (for example,
|
|
boot mode).
|
|
|
|
#. Then create a port to inform Bare Metal service of the network interface
|
|
cards which are part of the node by creating a port with each NIC's MAC
|
|
address. In this case, they're used for naming of PXE configs for a node:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: shell
|
|
|
|
baremetal port create $MAC_ADDRESS --node $NODE_UUID
