History
Julia Kreger 6f0eaaff4e Clean up jinja2 templates on conditional checks 
Starting in Ansible 2.3, jinja2 templates with conditionals were
no longer supported. Users should have always directly stated the
variables and not treated it as a string of jinja2 text to be
expanded.

In order to support newer ansible versions, the conditionals have
been updated accordingly.

bifrost-create-vm-nodes

This role creates virtual machines for testing bifrost.

Requirements

The following packages are required and ensured to be present:

  • libvirt-bin
  • qemu-utils
  • qemu-kvm
  • sgabios
  • python-libvirt
  • python-lxml

Warning

For backward compatibility some variables listed below may default to values of corresponding shell variables on the management host (where ansible-playbook is launched) as described. This behavior is deprecated and will be removed in the Queens release. Non-default values for these variables should be passed to ansible-playbook as extra-vars instead.

Role Variables

baremetal_csv_file: Deprecated. CSV file format is deprecated, and this variable will be removed in the Queens release. Use 'baremetal_json_file' variable instead. Default is undefined. If defined, its value will be used for 'baremetal_json_file' variable (see below), although file created will still be in JSON format.

baremetal_json_file: Defaults to '/tmp/baremetal.json' but will be overridden by 'baremetal_csv_file' if that is defined.

test_vm_memory_size: Tunable setting to allow a user to define a specific amount of RAM in MB to allocate to guest/test VMs. Defaults to "3072". Note: if this setting is modified between test runs, you may need to undefine the test virtual machine(s) that were previously created.

test_vm_domain_type: Tunable setting to allow a user to chosee the domain type of the created VMs. The default is "qemu" and can be set to kvm to enable kvm acceleration.

test_vm_num_nodes: Tunable setting to allow a user to define the number of test VMs that will be created. They will all be created with same settings.

test_vm_arch: Defines the architecture of VM to create. Defaults to "x86_64". The value of this variable is passed directly to libvirt when creating VMs. Generally users should not need to modify this setting. Any other than default value is untested.

test_vm_disk_gib: Disk size for VMs to be created, in GiB. Defaults to shell variable 'VM_DISK' or, if that is not set, to 10.

test_vm_cpu_count: Number of CPUs to create the VMs with. Defaults to shell variable 'VM_CPU', or, if that is not set, to 1.

test_vm_disk_cache: Disk cache mode to use by VMs disk. Defaults to shell variable 'VM_DISK_CACHE', or, if that is not set, to 'writeback'.

test_vm_node_names: Space-separated names for nodes to be created. Defaults to shell variable 'TEST_VM_NODE_NAMES'. If not set, VM names will be autogenerated. Note that independent on the number of names in this list, at most 'test_vm_num_nodes' VMs will be created.

test_vm_node_name_base: Base name to generate VM names when names are not explicitly set. Defaults to shell variable 'NODEBASE', or, if that is not set, to 'testvm'.

test_vm_network: Name of the libvirt network to create the nodes on. Defaults to shell variable 'VM_NET_BRIDGE', or, if that is not set, to 'default'.

test_vm_storage_pool: Name of the libvirt storage pool to create disks for VMs in. Defaults to shell variable 'LIBVIRT_STORAGE_POOL', or, if that is not set, to 'default'. If absent, this pool will be created.

test_vm_storage_pool_path: Path used by the libvirt storage pool 'test_vm_storage_pool' if it has to be created. Defaults to "/var/lib/libvirt/images".

test_vm_logdir: Folder where to store VM logs. Defaults to "/var/log/libvirt/baremetal_logs".

test_vm_emulator: Path to emulator executable used to define VMs in libvirt. Defaults to "/usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64". Generally users should not need to modify this setting, as it is OS-specific and is overwritten by os/distribution-specific defaults in this role when needed.

test_vm_machine: Type of the VM to define in libvirt. Defaults to "pc-1.0". Generally users should not need to modify this setting, as it is OS-specific and is overwritten by os/distribution-specific defaults in this role when needed.

test_vm_libvirt_uri: URI to connect to libvirt for networks, storage and VM related actions. Defaults to shell variable 'LIBVIRT_CONNECT_URI', or, if that is not set, to 'qemu:///system'. Note that currently connecting to remote libvirt is not tested and is unsupported.

test_vm_network: Name of the libvirt network to create for VMs. Defaults to shell variable 'VM_NET_BRIDGE', or, if that is not set, to 'default'. The network is created only if it does not already exist.

network_interface: Name of the bridge to create when creating 'test_vm_network' libvirt network. Defaults to "virbr0". Name and default of this option are chosen to be the same as in 'bifrost-ironic-install' role.

test_vm_network_ip: IP for the 'network_interface' bridge. Defaults to '192.168.122.1'. This setting is applied only when 'test_vm_network' was absent and is created from scratch.

test_vm_network_netmask: Subnet mask for 'network_interface' bridge. Defaults to '255.255.255.0'. This setting is applied only when 'test_vm_network' was absent and is created from scratch.

test_vm_network_enable_dhcp: Whether to enable DHCP on 'test_vm_network'. Defaults to 'true'. This setting is applied only when 'test_vm_network' was absent and is created from scratch.

test_vm_network_dhcp_start: Start of DHCP range for 'test_vm_network'. Defaults to '192.168.122.2'. This setting is applied only when 'test_vm_network' was absent and is created from scratch and when 'test_vm_network_enable_dhcp' is enabled.

test_vm_network_dhcp_end: End of of DHCP range for 'test_vm_network'. Defaults to '192.168.122.254'. This setting is applied only when 'test_vm_network' was absent and is created from scratch and when 'test_vm_network_enable_dhcp' is enabled.
