For the admin-related documents, all the 'ironic' CLI commands are replaced with their equivalent 'openstack baremetal' CLI commands. Change-Id: I3ee21344a50dbd8b835d381e12a25075256115af Partial-Bug: #1711235

Overview
|
|
========
|
|
The UCS driver is targeted for UCS Manager managed Cisco UCS B/C series
|
|
servers. The pxe_ucs, agent_ucs drivers enables you to take advantage of
|
|
UCS Manager by using the python SDK.
|
|
|
|
``pxe_ucs`` driver uses PXE/iSCSI (just like ``pxe_ipmitool`` driver) to
|
|
deploy the image and uses UCS to do all management operations on the
|
|
baremetal node (instead of using IPMI).
|
|
|
|
``agent_ucs`` driver uses IPA ramdisk (just like ``agent_ipmitool`` and
|
|
``agent_ipminative`` drivers.) to deploy the image and uses UCS to do all
|
|
management operations on the baremetal node (instead of using IPMI).
|
|
|
|
The UCS drivers can use the Ironic Inspector service for in-band inspection of
|
|
equipment. For more information see the `Ironic Inspector documentation
|
|
<http://docs.openstack.org/ironic-inspector/latest>`_.
|

|
Prerequisites
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
* ``UcsSdk`` is a python package version of XML API sdk available to
|
|
manage Cisco UCS Managed B/C-series servers.
|
|
|
|
Install ``UcsSdk`` [1]_ module on the Ironic conductor node.
|
|
Required version is 0.8.2.2::
|
|
|
|
$ pip install "UcsSdk==0.8.2.2"
|
|
|
|
Tested Platforms
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
This driver works on Cisco UCS Manager Managed B/C-series servers.
|
|
It has been tested with the following servers:
|
|
|
|
UCS Manager version: 2.2(1b), 2.2(3d).
|
|
|
|
* UCS B22M, B200M3
|
|
* UCS C220M3.
|
|
|
|
All the Cisco UCS B/C-series servers managed by UCSM 2.1 or later are supported
|
|
by this driver.
|
|
|
|
Configuring and Enabling the driver
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
1. Add ``pxe_ucs`` and/or ``agent_ucs`` to the list of ``enabled_drivers`` in
|
|
``/etc/ironic/ironic.conf``. For example::
|
|
|
|
enabled_drivers = pxe_ipmitool,pxe_ucs,agent_ucs
|
|
|
|
2. Restart the Ironic conductor service::
|
|
|
|
service ironic-conductor restart
|
|
|
|
Registering UCS node in Ironic
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
Nodes configured for UCS driver should have the ``driver`` property set to
|
|
``pxe_ucs/agent_ucs``. The following configuration values are also required in
|
|
``driver_info``:
|
|
|
|
- ``ucs_address``: IP address or hostname of the UCS Manager
|
|
- ``ucs_username``: UCS Manager login user name with administrator or
|
|
server_profile privileges.
|
|
- ``ucs_password``: UCS Manager login password for the above UCS Manager user.
|
|
- ``deploy_kernel``: The Glance UUID of the deployment kernel.
|
|
- ``deploy_ramdisk``: The Glance UUID of the deployment ramdisk.
|
|
- ``ucs_service_profile``: Distinguished name(DN) of service_profile being enrolled.
|
|
|
|
The following sequence of commands can be used to enroll a UCS node.
|
|
|
|
* Create Node::
|
|
|
|
openstack baremetal node create --driver <pxe_ucs/agent_ucs> \
|
|
--driver-info ucs_address=<UCS Manager hostname/ip-address> \
|
|
--driver-info ucs_username=<ucsm_username> \
|
|
--driver-info ucs_password=<ucsm_password> \
|
|
--driver-info ucs_service_profile=<service_profile_dn_being_enrolled> \
|
|
--driver-info deploy_kernel=<glance_uuid_of_deploy_kernel> \
|
|
--driver-info deploy_ramdisk=<glance_uuid_of_deploy_ramdisk> \
|
|
--property cpus=<number_of_cpus> \
|
|
--property memory_mb=<memory_size_in_MB> \
|
|
--property local_gb=<local_disk_size_in_GB> \
|
|
--property cpu_arch=<cpu_arch>
|
|
|
|
The above command 'openstack baremetal node create' will return UUID of the
|
|
node, which is the value of $NODE in the following command.
|
|
|
|
* Associate port with the node created::
|
|
|
|
openstack baremetal port create --node $NODE <MAC_address_of_Ucs_server's_NIC>
