Fast-Track Deployment
|
|
=====================
|
|
|
|
*Fast track* is a mode of operation where the Bare Metal service keeps a
|
|
machine powered on with the agent running between provisioning operations.
|
|
It is first booted during in-band inspection or cleaning (whatever happens
|
|
first) and is only shut down before rebooting into the final instance.
|
|
Depending on the configuration, this mode can save several reboots and is
|
|
particularly useful for scenarios where nodes are enrolled, prepared and
|
|
provisioned within a short period of time.
|
|
|
|
.. warning::
|
|
Fast track deployment targets standalone use cases and is only tested with
|
|
the ``noop`` networking. The case where inspection, cleaning and
|
|
provisioning networks are different is not supported.
|
|
|
|
Enabling
|
|
========
|
|
|
|
Fast track is off by default and should be enabled in the configuration:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: ini
|
|
|
|
[deploy]
|
|
fast_track = true
|
|
|
|
Inspection
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
If using :ref:`in-band inspection`, you need to tell ironic-inspector not to
|
|
power off nodes afterwards. Depending on the inspection mode (managed or
|
|
unmanaged), you need to configure two places. In ``ironic.conf``:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: ini
|
|
|
|
[inspector]
|
|
power_off = false
|
|
|
|
And in ``inspector.conf``:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: ini
|
|
|
|
[processing]
|
|
power_off = false
|
|
|
|
Finally, you need to update the :ironic-inspector-doc:`inspection PXE
|
|
configuration <install/index.html#configuration>` to include the
|
|
``ipa-api-url`` kernel parameter, pointing at the **ironic** endpoint, in
|
|
addition to the existing ``ipa-inspection-callback-url``.
