Wake-On-Lan driver
|

==================
|

|
||||
Overview
|
||||
========
|
||||
|
||||
Wake-On-Lan is a standard that allows a computer to be powered on by a
|
||||
network message. This is widely available and doesn't require any fancy
|
||||
hardware to work with [1]_.
|
||||
|
||||
The Wake-On-Lan driver is a **testing** driver not meant for
|
||||
production. And useful for users that wants to try Ironic with real
|
||||
bare metal instead of virtual machines.
|
||||
|
||||
It's important to note that Wake-On-Lan is only capable of powering on
|
||||
the machine. When power off is called the driver won't take any action
|
||||
and will just log a message, the power off require manual intervention
|
||||
to be performed.
|
||||
|
||||
Also, since Wake-On-Lan does not offer any means to determine the current
|
||||
power state of the machine, the driver relies on the power state set in
|
||||
the Ironic database. Any calls to the API to get the power state of the
|
||||
node will return the value from the Ironic's database.

|

|
||||
Overview
|
||||
~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
The ``pxe_wol`` driver uses the Wake-On-Lan technology to control the
|
||||
power state, PXE/iPXE technology for booting and the iSCSI methodology
|
||||
for deploying the node.
|
||||
|
||||
Requirements
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
* Wake-On-Lan should be enabled in the BIOS
|
||||
|
||||
Configuring and Enabling the driver
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
1. Add ``pxe_wol`` to the list of ``enabled_drivers`` in
|
||||
*/etc/ironic/ironic.conf*. For example::
|
||||
|
||||
[DEFAULT]
|
||||
...
|
||||
enabled_drivers = pxe_ipmitool,pxe_wol
|
||||
|
||||
2. Restart the Ironic conductor service::
|
||||
|
||||
service ironic-conductor restart
|
||||
|
||||
Registering a node with the Wake-On-Lan driver
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
Nodes configured for Wake-On-Lan driver should have the ``driver``
|
||||
property set to ``pxe_wol``.
|
||||
|
||||
The node should have at least one port registered with it because the
|
||||
Wake-On-Lan driver will use the MAC address of the ports to create the
|
||||
magic packet [2]_.
|
||||
|
||||
The following configuration values are optional and can be added to the
|
||||
node's ``driver_info`` as needed to match the network configuration:
|
||||
|
||||
- ``wol_host``: The broadcast IP address; defaults to
|
||||
**255.255.255.255**.
|
||||
- ``wol_port``: The destination port; defaults to **9**.
|
||||
|
||||
.. note::
|
||||
Say the ``ironic-conductor`` is connected to more than one network and
|
||||
the node you are trying to wake up is in the ``192.0.2.0/24`` range. The
|
||||
``wol_host`` configuration should be set to **192.0.2.255** (the
|
||||
broadcast IP) so the packets will get routed correctly.
|
||||
|
||||
The following sequence of commands can be used to enroll a node with
|
||||
the Wake-On-Lan driver.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Create node::
|
||||
|
||||
ironic node-create -d pxe_wol [-i wol_host=<broadcast ip> [ -i
|
||||
wol_port=<destination port>]]
|
||||
|
||||
The above command ``ironic node-create`` will return UUID of the node,
|
||||
which is the value of *$NODE* in the following command.
|
||||
|
||||
2. Associate port with the node created::
|
||||
|
||||
ironic port-create -n $NODE -a <MAC address>
