system-config/launch/README.rst
Monty Taylor 99a52a9c52 Make small tweaks to launch node README
First of all, we're using RST syntax, so rename it to README.rst.

More importantly, remove menitons of puppetmaster - and puppet in
general, as they are distracting. When reading the file, my eyes
scanned and hit puppetmaster and I almost skipped the section with the
assumption it was out of date.

Create Server
=============
The commands in this section should be run as root.
To launch a node in the OpenStack CI account (production servers)::
export OS_CLOUD=openstackci-rax
export OS_REGION_NAME=DFW
export FLAVOR="8 GB Performance"
export FQDN=servername01.opendev.org
cd /opt/system-config/launch/
./launch-node.py $FQDN --flavor "$FLAVOR" \
--cloud=$OS_CLOUD --region=$OS_REGION_NAME
Manually add the hostname to DNS (the launch script does not do so
automatically, but it prints the commands to run). Note that for
*.opendev.org hosts you'll only be able to add the reverse dns
records via the printed commands. Forward A and AAAA records should
be added to opendev/zone-opendev.org/zones/opendev.org/zone.db.
We need to add the host to our static inventory file so that
the ansible runs see the new host. The launch script prints out
the appropriate lines to add to
opendev/system-config:inventory/openstack.yaml.
In order for Ansible to work, you also need to accept the root SSH
key for the new server. Once the new DNS entries have propagated,
as root on bridge.openstack.org:
ssh root@$FQDN
Verify the fingerprint of the new server and type "yes" to accept.
Then you can log out.
Add DNS Records
===============
The launch-node script will print the commands needed to be
run to configure DNS for a newly launched server. To see the commands
for an existing server, run:
./dns.py $FQDN
