Installation Guide

This guide describes installation on top of OpenStack Kilo release. The bare_swift_ipmi driver used as example.

  1. Install bareon_ironic package

  2. Patch Nova service with bareon patch (patches/patch-nova-stable-kilo)

  3. Restart nova compute-service

  4. Patch Ironic service with bareon patch (patches/patch-ironic-stable-kilo)

  5. Enable the driver: add bare_swift_ipmi to the list of enabled_drivers in [DEFAULT] section of /etc/ironic/ironic.conf.

  6. Update ironic.conf using bareon sample (etc/ironic/ironic.conf.bareon_sample)

  7. Restart ironic-api and ironic-conductor services

  8. Build a Bareon ramdisk:

    8.1 Get Bareon source code (1)

    8.2 Run build

    $ cd bareon && bash bareon/tests_functional/image_build/centos_minimal.sh

    Resulting images and SSH private key needed to access it will appear at /tmp/rft_image_build/.

  9. Upload kernel and initrd images to the Glance image service.

  10. Create a node in Ironic with bare_swift_ipmi driver and associate port with the node

    $ ironic node-create -d bare_swift_ipmi
    $ ironic port-create -n <node uuid> -a <MAC address>
  11. Set IPMI address and credentials as described in the Ironic documentation2.

  12. Setup nova flavor as described in the Ironic documentation3.

  13. Set Bareon related driver's parameters for the node

    $ KERNEL=<UUID_of_kernel_image_in_Glance>
    $ INITRD=<UUID_of_initrd_image_in_Glance>
    $ PRIVATE_KEY_PATH=/tmp/rft_image_build/bareon_key
    $ ironic node-update <node uuid> add driver_info/deploy_kernel=$KERNEL \
    driver_info/deploy_ramdisk=$INITRD \
    driver_info/bareon_key_filename=$PRIVATE_KEY_PATH
  14. Issue ironic validate command to check for errors

    $ ironic node-validate <node uuid>

After steps above the node is ready for deploying. User can invoke nova boot command and link appropriate deploy_config as described in User Guide
