Ironic in Kolla
===============
Overview
~~~~~~~~
Ironic works well in Kolla, though it is not currently tested as part of Kolla
CI, so may be subject to instability.
Pre-deployment Configuration
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Enable Ironic in ``/etc/kolla/globals.yml``:
.. code-block:: yaml
enable_ironic: "yes"
.. end
In the same file, define a range of IP addresses that will be available for use
by Ironic inspector, as well as a network to be used for the Ironic cleaning
network:
.. code-block:: yaml
ironic_dnsmasq_dhcp_range: "192.168.5.100,192.168.5.110"
ironic_cleaning_network: "public1"
.. end
Ironic inspector also requires a deploy kernel and ramdisk to be placed in
``/etc/kolla/config/ironic/``. The following example uses coreos which is
commonly used in Ironic deployments, though any compatible kernel/ramdisk may
be used:
.. code-block:: console
$ curl https://tarballs.openstack.org/ironic-python-agent/coreos/files/coreos_production_pxe.vmlinuz \
-o /etc/kolla/config/ironic/ironic-agent.kernel
$ curl https://tarballs.openstack.org/ironic-python-agent/coreos/files/coreos_production_pxe_image-oem.cpio.gz \
-o /etc/kolla/config/ironic/ironic-agent.initramfs
.. end
Deployment
~~~~~~~~~~
Run the deploy as usual:
.. code-block:: console
$ kolla-ansible deploy
.. end
Post-deployment configuration
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A script named `init-runonce` is supplied as part of kolla-ansible to
initialise the cloud with some defaults (only to be used for demo purposes):
.. code-block:: console
tools/init-runonce
.. end
Add the deploy kernel and ramdisk to Glance. Here we're reusing the same images
that were fetched for the Inspector:
.. code-block:: console
openstack image create --disk-format aki --container-format aki --public \
--file /etc/kolla/config/ironic/ironic-agent.kernel deploy-vmlinuz
openstack image create --disk-format ari --container-format ari --public \
--file /etc/kolla/config/ironic/ironic-agent.initramfs deploy-initrd
.. end
Create a baremetal flavor:
.. code-block:: console
openstack flavor create --ram 512 --disk 1 --vcpus 1 my-baremetal-flavor
openstack flavor set my-baremetal-flavor --property \
resources:CUSTOM_BAREMETAL_RESOURCE_CLASS=1
.. end
Create the baremetal node and associate a port. (Ensure to substitute correct
values for the kernel, ramdisk, and MAC address for your baremetal node)
.. code-block:: console
openstack baremetal node create --driver ipmi --name baremetal-node \
--driver-info ipmi_port=6230 --driver-info ipmi_username=admin \
--driver-info ipmi_password=password \
--driver-info ipmi_address=192.168.5.1 \
--resource-class baremetal-resource-class --property cpus=1 \
--property memory_mb=512 --property local_gb=1 \
--property cpu_arch=x86_64 \
--driver-info deploy_kernel=15f3c95f-d778-43ad-8e3e-9357be09ca3d \
--driver-info deploy_ramdisk=9b1e1ced-d84d-440a-b681-39c216f24121
openstack baremetal port create 52:54:00:ff:15:55 --node 57aa574a-5fea-4468-afcf-e2551d464412
.. end
Booting the baremetal
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You can now use the following sample command to boot the baremetal instance:
.. code-block:: console
openstack server create --image cirros --flavor my-baremetal-flavor \
--key-name mykey --network public1 demo1
.. end
Notes
~~~~~
Debugging DHCP
--------------
The following `tcpdump` command can be useful when debugging why dhcp
requests may not be hitting various pieces of the process:
.. code-block:: console
tcpdump -i <interface> port 67 or port 68 or port 69 -e -n
.. end
Configuring the Web Console
---------------------------
Configuration based off upstream `Node web console
<https://docs.openstack.org/ironic/latest/admin/console.html#node-web-console>`__.
Serial speed must be the same as the serial configuration in the BIOS settings.
Default value: 115200bps, 8bit, non-parity.If you have different serial speed.
Set ironic_console_serial_speed in ``/etc/kolla/globals.yml``:
.. code-block:: yaml
ironic_console_serial_speed: 9600n8
.. end
Deploying using virtual baremetal (vbmc + libvirt)
--------------------------------------------------
