.. _irmc: ============ iRMC drivers ============ Overview ======== The iRMC driver enables control FUJITSU PRIMERGY via ServerView Common Command Interface (SCCI). There are 3 iRMC drivers: * ``pxe_irmc``. * ``iscsi_irmc`` * ``agent_irmc`` Prerequisites ============= * Install `python-scciclient package `_:: $ pip install "python-scciclient>=0.2.0" Drivers ======= pxe_irmc driver ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ This driver enables PXE deploy and power control via ServerView Common Command Interface (SCCI). Enabling the driver ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - Add ``pxe_irmc`` to the list of ``enabled_drivers`` in ``[DEFAULT]`` section of ``/etc/ironic/ironic.conf``. - Ironic Conductor must be restarted for the new driver to be loaded. Node configuration ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ * Each node is configured for iRMC with PXE deploy by setting the following ironic node object’s properties: - ``driver`` property to be ``pxe_irmc`` - ``driver_info/irmc_address`` property to be ``IP address`` or ``hostname`` of the iRMC. - ``driver_info/irmc_username`` property to be ``username`` for the iRMC with administrator privileges. - ``driver_info/irmc_password`` property to be ``password`` for irmc_username. - ``properties/capabilities`` property to be ``boot_mode:uefi`` if UEFI boot is required. * All of nodes are configured by setting the following configuration options in ``[irmc]`` section of ``/etc/ironic/ironic.conf``: - ``port``: Port to be used for iRMC operations; either 80 or 443. The default value is 443. Optional. - ``auth_method``: Authentication method for iRMC operations; either ``basic`` or ``digest``. The default value is ``basic``. Optional. - ``client_timeout``: Timeout (in seconds) for iRMC operations. The default value is 60. Optional. - ``sensor_method``: Sensor data retrieval method; either ``ipmitool`` or ``scci``. The default value is ``ipmitool``. Optional. * Each node can be further configured by setting the following ironic node object’s properties which override the parameter values in ``[irmc]`` section of ``/etc/ironic/ironic.conf``: - ``driver_info/irmc_port`` property overrides ``port``. - ``driver_info/irmc_auth_method`` property overrides ``auth_method``. - ``driver_info/irmc_client_timeout`` property overrides ``client_timeout``. - ``driver_info/irmc_sensor_method`` property overrides ``sensor_method``. iscsi_irmc driver ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ This driver enables Virtual Media deploy with image build from Diskimage Builder and power control via ServerView Common Command Interface (SCCI). Enabling the driver ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - Add ``iscsi_irmc`` to the list of ``enabled_drivers`` in ``[DEFAULT]`` section of ``/etc/ironic/ironic.conf``. - Ironic Conductor must be restarted for the new driver to be loaded. Node configuration ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ * Each node is configured for iRMC with PXE deploy by setting the followings ironic node object’s properties: - ``driver`` property to be ``iscsi_irmc`` - ``driver_info/irmc_address`` property to be ``IP address`` or ``hostname`` of the iRMC. - ``driver_info/irmc_username`` property to be ``username`` for the iRMC with administrator privileges. - ``driver_info/irmc_password`` property to be ``password`` for irmc_username. - ``properties/capabilities`` property to be ``boot_mode:uefi`` if UEFI boot is required. - ``driver_info/irmc_deploy_iso`` property to be either ``deploy iso file name``, ``Glance UUID``, ``Glance URL`` or ``Image Service URL``. - ``instance info/irmc_boot_iso`` property to be either ``boot iso file name``, ``Glance UUID``, ``Glance URL`` or ``Image Service URL``. This is optional property for ``netboot``. * All of nodes are configured by setting the following configuration options in ``[irmc]`` section of ``/etc/ironic/ironic.conf``: - ``port``: Port to be used for iRMC operations; either ``80`` or ``443``. The default value is ``443``. Optional. - ``auth_method``: Authentication method for iRMC operations; either ``basic`` or ``digest``. The default value is ``basic``. Optional. - ``client_timeout``: Timeout (in seconds) for iRMC operations. The default value is 60. Optional. - ``sensor_method``: Sensor data retrieval method; either ``ipmitool`` or ``scci``. The default value is ``ipmitool``. Optional. - ``remote_image_share_root``: Ironic conductor node's ``NFS`` or ``CIFS`` root path. The default value is ``/remote_image_share_root``. - ``remote_image_server``: IP of remote image server. - ``remote_image_share_type``: Share type of virtual media, either ``NFS`` or ``CIFS``. The default is ``CIFS``. - ``remote_image_share_name``: share name of ``remote_image_server``. The default value is ``share``. - ``remote_image_user_name``: User name of ``remote_image_server``. - ``remote_image_user_password``: Password of ``remote_image_user_name``. - ``remote_image_user_domain``: Domain name of ``remote_image_user_name``. * Each node can be further configured by setting the following ironic node object’s properties which override the parameter values in ``[irmc]`` section of ``/etc/ironic/ironic.conf``: - ``driver_info/irmc_port`` property overrides ``port``. - ``driver_info/irmc_auth_method`` property overrides ``auth_method``. - ``driver_info/irmc_client_timeout`` property overrides ``client_timeout``. - ``driver_info/irmc_sensor_method`` property overrides ``sensor_method``. agent_irmc driver ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ This driver enables Virtual Media deploy with IPA (Ironic Python Agent) and power control via ServerView Common Command Interface (SCCI). Enabling the driver ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - Add ``agent_irmc`` to the list of ``enabled_drivers`` in ``[DEFAULT]`` section of ``/etc/ironic/ironic.conf``. - Ironic Conductor must be restarted for the new driver to be loaded.
