Building or downloading a deploy ramdisk image
|
|
==============================================
|
|
|
|
Ironic depends on having an image with the ironic-python-agent_ (IPA)
|
|
service running on it for controlling and deploying bare metal nodes.
|
|
|
|
You can download a pre-built version of the deploy ramdisk built with
|
|
the `CoreOS tools`_ at:
|
|
|
|
* `CoreOS deploy kernel <http://tarballs.openstack.org/ironic-python-agent/coreos/files/coreos_production_pxe.vmlinuz>`_
|
|
* `CoreOS deploy ramdisk <http://tarballs.openstack.org/ironic-python-agent/coreos/files/coreos_production_pxe_image-oem.cpio.gz>`_

Building from source

|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
There are two known methods for creating the deployment image with the
|
|
IPA service:

~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
#. Clone the ironic-python-agent_ project::
|
|
|
|
git clone https://git.openstack.org/openstack/ironic-python-agent
|
|
|
|
#. Install the requirements::
|
|
|
|
Fedora 21/RHEL7/CentOS7:
|
|
sudo yum install docker gzip util-linux cpio findutils grep gpg
|
|
|
|
Fedora 22 or higher:
|
|
sudo dnf install docker gzip util-linux cpio findutils grep gpg
|
|
|
|
Ubuntu 14.04 (trusty) or higher:
|
|
sudo apt-get install docker.io gzip uuid-runtime cpio findutils grep gnupg
|
|
|
|
#. Change directory to ``imagebuild/coreos``::
|
|
|
|
cd ironic-python-agent/imagebuild/coreos
|
|
|
|
#. Start the docker daemon::
|
|
|
|
Fedora/RHEL7/CentOS7:
|
|
sudo systemctl start docker
|
|
|
|
Ubuntu:
|
|
sudo service docker start
|
|
|
|
#. Create the image::
|
|
|
|
sudo make
|
|
|
|
#. Or, create an ISO image to boot with virtual media::
|
|
|
|
sudo make iso
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
Once built the deploy ramdisk and kernel will appear inside of a
|
|
directory called ``UPLOAD``.

disk-image-builder
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
#. Follow `diskimage-builder installation documentation`_ to install
|
|
diskimage-builder.
|
|
|
|
#. Create the image::
|
|
|
|
disk-image-create ironic-agent fedora -o ironic-deploy
|
|
|
|
The above command creates the deploy ramdisk and kernel named
|
|
``ironic-deploy.vmlinuz`` and ``ironic-deploy.initramfs`` in your
|
|
current directory.
|
|
|
|
#. Or, create an ISO image to boot with virtual media::
|
|
|
|
disk-image-create ironic-agent fedora iso -o ironic-deploy
|
|
|
|
The above command creates the deploy ISO named ``ironic-deploy.iso``
|
|
in your current directory.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
Fedora was used as an example for the base operational system. Please
|
|
check the `diskimage-builder documentation`_ for other supported
|
|
operational systems.
