Remove valence-integration.rst
As we discussed during the Queens PTG, valence-integration spec should be removed, as we changed to use rsd-lib for RSD server support. Change-Id: I7fb50a7777ecaa5288dacbcc51d41830c5bb483a

Valence Integration
|
||||
===================
|
||||
|
||||
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/mogan/+spec/rsd-integration
|
||||
|
||||
The current Mogan implementation only supports pre-set configuration servers.
|
||||
For custom servers, Mogan should to be able to compose bare metal through
|
||||
integration with Valence that leverages the Redfish API to compose nodes using
|
||||
disaggregated resources.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Problem description
|
||||
===================
|
||||
|
||||
Mogan currently can only provision pre-set configuration servers, but users may
|
||||
want to request a custom server with specific configurations like CPU, RAM, and
|
||||
DISK.
|
||||
|
||||
Use Cases
|
||||
---------
|
||||
|
||||
* An enterprise user wants to manage the RSD and general servers in a
|
||||
unified manner.
|
||||
|
||||
* An enterprise user wants to apply a custom server with CPU, RAM, and DISK
|
||||
specified himself.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Proposed change
|
||||
===============
|
||||
|
||||
First, we need to refactor our flavor to pass Valence required parameters when
|
||||
composing a node, need to align with Valence team. But for non-rack servers
|
||||
we can keep the current way of scheduling a node to provision.
|
||||
|
||||
When a request come with the Valence specific flavor, We can invoke Valence to
|
||||
compose the node on the fly, then register the composed node into Ironic with
|
||||
Redfish driver(not supported yet). When nodes are enrolled in Ironic, there's
|
||||
no difference with non-rack nodes. And these works are all done before the
|
||||
current instance create workflow, so we can create a new taskflow [1]_ for
|
||||
Valence which includes compose and enroll tasks:
|
||||
|
||||
ComposeNodeTask:
|
||||
* execute: Invoke Valence to compose a node according the specified flavor.
|
||||
* revert: Release the composed node if there's something wrong when enrolling.
|
||||
|
||||
EnrollNodeTask:
|
||||
* execute: Enroll the composed node to Ironic.
|
||||
* revert: If some exception raised and the node has been enrolled, need to
|
||||
remove it from Ironic.
|
||||
|
||||
For Valence node, we should skip the scheduling task in provison workflow.
|
||||
Currently there are ScheduleCreateInstanceTask and OnFailureRescheduleTask,
|
||||
we can get rid of these two tasks when initialize the task flow in Valence
|
||||
scenario. Or maybe can handle this like select which node instances are
|
||||
launched(not supported yet).
|
||||
|
||||
Also, if there's some exception raised when provisioning, we should release the
|
||||
composed node to Valence pool and remove it from Ironic.
|
||||
|
||||
When deleting a node we should remove it from ironic first, then release the
|
||||
resources to Valence pool. For this, we can add a new field to instance to
|
||||
indicate whether it's a valence instance or not.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Alternatives
|
||||
------------
|
||||
|
||||
It will automatically invoke valence to compose node if scheduling max attempts
|
||||
exceeds instead of using a specific flavor to indicate it's a Valence instance.
|
||||
|
||||
Data model impact
|
||||
-----------------
|
||||
|
||||
The proposed change will be add the following fields to the instance object
|
||||
with their data type and default value for migrations.
|
||||
|
||||
+-----------------------+--------------+-----------------+
|
||||
| Field Name | Field Type | Migration Value |
|
||||
+=======================+==============+=================+
|
||||
| composed | bool | None |
|
||||
+-----------------------+--------------+-----------------+
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
REST API impact
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
None
|
||||
|
||||
Security impact
|
||||
---------------
|
||||
|
||||
None
|
||||
|
||||
Notifications impact
|
||||
--------------------
|
||||
|
||||
None
|
||||
|
||||
Other end user impact
|
||||
---------------------
|
||||
|
||||
None
|
||||
|
||||
Performance Impact
|
||||
------------------
|
||||
|
||||
There's one potential performance impact on the instance creating process,
|
||||
as we need to composing the node from Valence first.
|
||||
|
||||
Other deployer impact
|
||||
---------------------
|
||||
|
||||
None
|
||||
|
||||
Developer impact
|
||||
----------------
|
||||
|
||||
* As Mogan plans to support not only Ironic driver but also CloudBoot, need
|
||||
to figure out whether CloudBoot has supported Redfish already or there's not
|
||||
a plan to support it.
|
||||

||||

||||

Work Items
|
||||
----------
|
||||
|
||||
* Refactor flavor(instance type) to meet Valence's requirements.
|
||||
* Add `composed` filed to instance object.
|
||||
* Add a new taskflow for node composing and enrolling.
|
||||
* Change delete instance process to handle composed node gracefully.
|
||||
* Add Valence installation in Mogan devstack plugin as an option
|
||||
|
||||
Dependencies
|
||||
============
|
||||
|
||||
* Need valence client to be ready to integrate.
|
||||
|
||||
* Redfish driver landed in ironic.
|
||||
|
||||
* Valence PodManager simulator need to be improved, maybe return a fake
|
||||
node(VM) and maybe we can test it with ssh driver before Redfish driver
|
||||
available.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Testing
|
||||
=======
|
||||
|
||||
Unit Testing will be added.
|
||||
|
||||
Documentation Impact
|
||||
====================
|
||||
|
||||
Docs about Valence integration will be added.
