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.
|
|
|
|

|
=======================
|
|
A detailed reference is available here, and a short guide follows below:
|
|
|
|
https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/intel-active-management-technology-start-here-guide-intel-amt-9#4.2
|
|
|
|
* Set up AMT Client
|
|
|
|
* Choose a system which supports Intel AMT / vPro. Desktop and laptop systems
|
|
that support this can often be identified by looking at the "Intel" tag for
|
|
the word ``vPro``.
|
|
|
|
* During boot, press Ctrl+P to enter Intel MEBx management.
|
|
|
|
* Reset password -- default is ``admin``. The new password must contain at
|
|
least one upper case letter, one lower case letter, one digit and one
|
|
special character, and be at least eight characters.
|
|
|
|
* 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
