Overview
|
|
========
|
|
AMT (Active Management Technology) drivers extend Ironic's range to the
|
|
desktop. AMT/vPro is widely used in desktops to remotely control their power,
|
|
similar to IPMI in servers.
|
|
|
|
AMT drivers use WS-MAN protocol to interact with AMT clients.
|
|
They work on AMT 7.0/8.0/9.0. AMT 7.0 was released in 2010, so AMT drivers
|
|
should work on most PCs with vPro.
|
|
|
|
There is one AMT driver:
|
|
|
|
* ``pxe_amt`` uses AMT for power management and PXE for deploy management.
|
|
|
|
Set up your environment
|
|
=======================
|
|
* Set up AMT Client
|
|
|
|
* Choose a Desktop with ``vPro`` tag (within Intel's tag, next to CORE i5/7).
|
|
Press Ctrl+P during booting to enter MEBx management.
|
|
|
|
* Reset password -- default is ``admin``. New password can be ``Cloud12345^``
|
|
|
|
* Go to Intel AMT Configuration:
|
|
|
|
* Enable all features under SOL/IDER/KVM section
|
|
|
|
* Select User Consent and choose None (No password is needed)
|
|
|
|
* Select Network Setup section and set IP
|
|
|
|
* Activate Network Access
|
|
|
|
* MEBx Exit
|
|
|
|
* Restart and enable PXE boot in bios
|
|
|
|
* Install ``openwsman`` on servers where ``ironic-conductor`` is running:
|
|
|
|
* Fedora/RHEL: ``openwsman-python`` (>=2.4.10). You can
|
|
get the RPM package for Fedora 20 from::
|
|
|
|
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Openwsman/Fedora_20/
|
|
|
|
* Ubuntu: ``python-openwsman``'s most recent version is 2.4.3 which
|
|
isn't recent enough, so you'll need to build it yourself (see next point)
|
|
|
|
* Or build it yourself from::
|
|
|
|
https://github.com/Openwsman/openwsman
|
|
|
|
* Enable the ``pxe_amt`` driver by adding it to the configuration option
|
|
``enabled_drivers`` (typically located at ``/etc/ironic/ironic.conf``)
|
|
and restart the ``ironic-conductor`` process::
|
|
|
|
service ironic-conductor restart
|
|
|
|
* Enroll an AMT node
|
|
|
|
* Specify these driver_info properties for the node: ``amt_password``,
|
|
``amt_address``, and ``amt_username``
|
|
|
|
* Boot an instance
