this patch moves logic for preparing libvirt environment and creating test VMs out of bash script to Ansible tasks using virt_* modules available since Ansible 2.0. The only virsh command left is volume creation as Ansible still lacks modules for libvirt volume management. As a consequence, many variables hidden in the bash script are now explicitly defined in defaults of 'bifrost-create-vm-nodes' role and can be redefined by standard Ansible means. Although the libvirt connection string can be redefined too, it was not tested with any other than default value (local qemu connection).

Vagrant support for developers
Bifrost vagrant file for developers can be found in the
tools/vagrant_dev_env directory. Running
vagrant up from within this folder will bring up an Ubuntu
Trusty box with Bifrost installed.
By default, the VM will have three interfaces:
- eth0 - connected to a NAT network
- eth1 - connected to Host-only network named: vboxnet1
- eth2 - bridged - adapter must be set in Vagrantfile
Walkthrough done on OS X
Setup vagrant by:
- Installing git
- Installing virtualbox
- Installing vagrant
- Installing ansible
Configure Vagrant with the correct box:
vagrant box add ubuntu/trusty64Clone bifrost repo:
git clone https://github.com/openstack/bifrost.gitChange into the bifrost directory:
cd bifrost/tools/vagrant_dev_envEdit the Vagrantfile:
- Change the
bifrost.vm.networkpublic_networkvalue to a valid network interface to allow Bare Metal connectivity - Change
public_keyto correct key name - Change
network_interfaceto match your needs
Boot the VM with:
vagrant upInstallation Options
Ansible is installed within the VM directly from source or from the
path set by ANSIBLE_GIT_URL. You can modify the path of
installation by setting ANSIBLE_INSTALL_ROOT environment
variable. The default value is /opt/stack. When set in the
host, this variable will also be set as an environment variable inside
the VM for use by test scripts.
Note:
Only the ansible installation path is configurable at this point using the environment variable. All other dependencies will still continue to cloned under
/opt/stack.
