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 <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/python-scciclient>`_::
|
||
|
||
$ 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``.
