XClarity driver
|
|
===============
|
|
|
|
Overview
|
|
========
|
|
|
|
The ``xclarity`` driver is targeted for IMM 2.0 and IMM 3.0 managed Lenovo
|
|
servers. The xclarity hardware type enables the user to take advantage of
|
|
`XClarity Manager`_ by using the `XClarity Python Client`_.
|
|
|
|
Prerequisites
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
* The XClarity Client library should be installed on the ironic conductor
|
|
node(s).
|
|
|
|
For example, it can be installed with ``pip``::
|
|
|
|
sudo pip install python-xclarityclient
|
|
|
|
Enabling the XClarity driver
|
|
============================
|
|
|
|
#. Add ``xclarity`` to the list of ``enabled_hardware_types``,
|
|
``enabled_power_interfaces`` and ``enabled_management_interfaces``
|
|
in ``/etc/ironic/ironic.conf``. For example::
|
|
|
|
[DEFAULT]
|
|
...
|
|
enabled_hardware_types = ipmi,xclarity
|
|
enabled_power_interfaces = ipmitool,xclarity
|
|
enabled_management_interfaces = ipmitool,xclarity
|
|
|
|
#. Restart the ironic conductor service::
|
|
|
|
sudo service ironic-conductor restart
|
|
|
|
# Or, for RDO:
|
|
sudo systemctl restart openstack-ironic-conductor
|
|
|
|
Registering a node with the XClarity driver
|
|
===========================================
|
|
|
|
Nodes configured to use the driver should have the ``driver`` property
|
|
set to ``xclarity``.
|
|
|
|
The following properties are specified in the node's ``driver_info``
|
|
field and are required:
|
|
|
|
- ``xclarity_manager_ip``: The IP address of the XClarity Controller.
|
|
- ``xclarity_username``: User account with admin/server-profile access
|
|
privilege to the XClarity Controller.
|
|
- ``xclarity_password``: User account password corresponding to the
|
|
xclarity_username to the XClarity Controller.
|
|
- ``xclarity_hardware_id``: The hardware ID of the XClarity managed server.
|
|
|
|
The ``openstack baremetal node create`` command can be used to enroll
|
|
a node with the ``xclarity`` driver. For example:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
openstack baremetal node create --driver xclarity \
|
|
--driver-info xclarity_manager_ip=https://10.240.217.101 \
|
|
--driver-info xclarity_username=admin \
|
|
--driver-info xclarity_password=password \
|
|
--driver-info xclarity_hardware_id=hardware_id
|
|
|
|
For more information about enrolling nodes see :ref:`enrollment`
|
|
in the install guide.
