Control Plane Service Placement
|
|
===============================
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
This is an advanced topic and should only be attempted when familiar with
|
|
kayobe and OpenStack.
|
|
|
|
The default configuration in kayobe places all control plane services on a
|
|
single set of servers described as 'controllers'. In some cases it may be
|
|
necessary to introduce more than one server role into the control plane, and
|
|
control which services are placed onto the different server roles.
|
|
|
|
Configuration
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
Overcloud Inventory Discovery
|
|
-----------------------------
|
|
|
|
If using a seed host to enable discovery of the control plane services, it is
|
|
necessary to configure how the discovered hosts map into kayobe groups. This
|
|
is done using the ``overcloud_group_hosts_map`` variable, which maps names of
|
|
kayobe groups to a list of the hosts to be added to that group.
|
|
|
|
This variable will be used during the command ``kayobe overcloud inventory
|
|
discover``. An inventory file will be generated in
|
|
``${KAYOBE_CONFIG_PATH}/inventory/overcloud`` with discovered hosts added to
|
|
appropriate kayobe groups based on ``overcloud_group_hosts_map``.
|
|
|
|
Kolla-ansible Inventory Mapping
|
|
-------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Once hosts have been discovered and enrolled into the kayobe inventory, they
|
|
must be added to the kolla-ansible inventory. This is done by mapping from top
|
|
level kayobe groups to top level kolla-ansible groups using the
|
|
``kolla_overcloud_inventory_top_level_group_map`` variable. This variable maps
|
|
from kolla-ansible groups to lists of kayobe groups, and variables to define
|
|
for those groups in the kolla-ansible inventory.
|
|
|
|
Variables For Custom Server Roles
|
|
---------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Certain variables must be defined for hosts in the ``overcloud`` group. For
|
|
hosts in the ``controllers`` group, many variables are mapped to other
|
|
variables with a ``controller_`` prefix in files under
|
|
``ansible/group_vars/controllers/``. This is done in order that they may be set
|
|
in a global extra variables file, typically ``controllers.yml``, with defaults
|
|
set in ``ansible/group_vars/all/controllers``. A similar scheme is used for
|
|
hosts in the ``monitoring`` group.
|
|
|
|
.. table:: Overcloud host variables
|
|
|
|
====================== =====================================================
|
|
Variable Purpose
|
|
====================== =====================================================
|
|
``ansible_user`` Username with which to access the host via SSH.
|
|
``bootstrap_user`` Username with which to access the host before
|
|
``ansible_user`` is configured.
|
|
``lvm_groups`` List of LVM volume groups to configure. See
|
|
`mrlesmithjr.manage-lvm role
|
|
<https://galaxy.ansible.com/mrlesmithjr/manage-lvm/>`_
|
|
for format.
|
|
``network_interfaces`` List of names of networks to which the host is
|
|
connected.
|
|
``sysctl_parameters`` Dict of sysctl parameters to set.
|
|
====================== =====================================================
|
|
|
|
If configuring BIOS and RAID via ``kayobe overcloud bios raid configure``, the
|
|
following variables should also be defined:
|
|
|
|
.. table:: Overcloud BIOS & RAID host variables
|
|
|
|
====================== =====================================================
|
|
Variable Purpose
|
|
====================== =====================================================
|
|
``bios_config`` Dict mapping BIOS configuration options to their
|
|
required values. See `stackhpc.drac role
|
|
<https://galaxy.ansible.com/stackhpc/drac/>`_ for
|
|
format.
|
|
``raid_config`` List of RAID virtual disks to configure. See
|
|
`stackhpc.drac role
|
|
<https://galaxy.ansible.com/stackhpc/drac/>`_ for
|
|
format.
|
|
====================== =====================================================
|
|
|
|
These variables can be defined in inventory host or group variables files,
|
|
under ``${KAYOBE_CONFIG_PATH}/inventory/host_vars/<host>`` or
|
|
``${KAYOBE_CONFIG_PATH}/inventory/group_vars/<group>`` respectively.
|
|
|
|
Custom Kolla-ansible Inventories
|
|
--------------------------------
|
|
|
|
As an advanced option, it is possible to fully customise the content of the
|
|
kolla-ansible inventory, at various levels. To facilitate this, kayobe breaks
|
|
the kolla-ansible inventory into three separate sections.
|
|
|
|
**Top level** groups define the roles of hosts, e.g. ``controller`` or ``compute``,
|
|
and it is to these groups that hosts are mapped directly.
|
|
|
|
**Components** define groups of services, e.g. ``nova`` or ``ironic``, which
|
|
are mapped to top level groups.
|
|
|
|
**Services** define single containers, e.g. ``nova-compute`` or ``ironic-api``,
|
|
which are mapped to components.
|
|
|
|
The default top level inventory is generated from
|
|
``kolla_overcloud_inventory_top_level_group_map``.
|
|
Kayobe's component- and service-level inventory for
|
|
kolla-ansible is static, and taken from the kolla-ansible example ``multinode``
|
|
inventory. The complete inventory is generated by concatenating these
|
|
inventories.
|
|
|
|
Each level may be separately overridden by setting the following variables:
|
|
|
|
.. table:: Custom kolla-ansible inventory variables
|
|
|
|
=============================================== =================================
|
|
Variable Purpose
|
|
=============================================== =================================
|
|
``kolla_overcloud_inventory_custom_top_level`` Overcloud inventory containing a
|
|
mapping from top level groups
|
|
to hosts.
|
|
``kolla_overcloud_inventory_custom_components`` Overcloud inventory
|
|
containing a mapping from
|
|
components to top level
|
|
groups.
|
|
``kolla_overcloud_inventory_custom_services`` Overcloud inventory
|
|
containing a mapping from
|
|
services to components.
|
|
``kolla_overcloud_inventory_custom`` Full overcloud inventory
|
|
contents.

Examples
|
|
========
|
|
|
|
Example 1: Adding Network Hosts
|
|
-------------------------------
|
|
|
|
This example walks through the configuration that could be applied to enable
|
|
the use of separate hosts for neutron network services and load balancing.
|
|
The control plane consists of three controllers, ``controller-[0-2]``, and two
|
|
network hosts, ``network-[0-1]``. All file paths are relative to
|
|
``${KAYOBE_CONFIG_PATH}``.
|
|
|
|
First, we must map the hosts to kayobe groups.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: yaml
|
|
:caption: ``overcloud.yml``
|
|
|
|
overcloud_group_hosts_map:
|
|
controllers:
|
|
- controller-0
|
|
- controller-1
|
|
- controller-2
|
|
network:
|
|
- network-0
|
|
- network-1
|
|
|
|
Next, we must map these groups to kolla-ansible groups.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: yaml
|
|
:caption: ``kolla.yml``
|
|
|
|
kolla_overcloud_inventory_top_level_group_map:
|
|
control:
|
|
groups:
|
|
- controllers
|
|
network:
|
|
groups:
|
|
- network
|
|
|
|
Finally, we create a group variables file for hosts in the network group,
|
|
providing the necessary variables for a control plane host.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: yaml
|
|
:caption: ``inventory/group_vars/network``
|
|
|
|
ansible_user: "{{ kayobe_ansible_user }}"
|
|
bootstrap_user: "{{ controller_bootstrap_user }}"
|
|
lvm_groups: "{{ controller_lvm_groups }}"
|
|
network_interfaces: "{{ controller_network_host_network_interfaces }}"
|
|
sysctl_parameters: "{{ controller_sysctl_parameters }}"
|
|
|
|
Here we are using the controller-specific values for some of these variables,
|
|
but they could equally be different.
|
|
|
|
Example 2: Overriding the Kolla-ansible Inventory
|
|
-------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
This example shows how to override one or more sections of the kolla-ansible
|
|
inventory. All file paths are relative to ``${KAYOBE_CONFIG_PATH}``.
|
|
|
|
First, create a file containing the customised inventory section. We'll use the
|
|
**components** section in this example.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
:caption: ``kolla/inventory/overcloud-components.j2``
|
|
|
|
[nova]
|
|
control
|
|
|
|
[ironic]
|
|
{% if kolla_enable_ironic | bool %}
|
|
control
|
|
{% endif %}
|
|
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
Next, we must configure kayobe to use this inventory template.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: yaml
|
|
:caption: ``kolla.yml``
|
|
|
|
kolla_overcloud_inventory_custom_components: "{{ lookup('template', kayobe_config_path ~ '/kolla/inventory/overcloud-components.j2') }}"
|
|
|
|
Here we use the ``template`` lookup plugin to render the Jinja2-formatted
|
|
inventory template.
