If you plan using RAID arrays, configure you RAID-attached devices first. + +#. Configure the network: + + * If you use bare-metal servers, verify that the Fuel Slave nodes are + physically connected to the same network as the Fuel Master node. + + * If you use virtual servers, verify that the Fuel Slave nodes + are bridged to the same network as the Fuel Master node. + The Fuel Master node and the Fuel Slave nodes must be in + the same L2 network segment. + +**To boot the Fuel Slave nodes:** + +#. Power on a Fuel Slave node. + +#. Boot the Fuel Slave node through PXE using one of the following options: + + * Modify the boot order in BIOS to PXE boot. + * Press the appropriate key to initiate a PXE boot. + + .. warning:: + + If the Fuel Slave node has several network interfaces, enable + the PXE boot on the interface that is on the same network + as Admin (PXE) network on the Fuel Master node. + +#. Repeat the procedure for all the Fuel Slave nodes you will use for your + OpenStack environment. + +Boot workflow of a Fuel Slave node +---------------------------------- + +The boot workflow of a Fuel Slave node does not require any user interaction. +For general understanding of the processes that take place in the system when +the Fuel Slave node is booting, get acquainted with the boot procedure: + +#. The Fuel Slave node sends out a DHCP discovery request and gets the response + from the Fuel Master node that runs the DHCP server. + +#. On receiving the response, the Fuel Slave node fetches the PXELINUX + bootloader and the bootstrap image from the Fuel Master node's TFTP + server, and boots into it. + +#. On loading the image, the Fuel Slave node reports readiness and + configuration to the Fuel Master node. + +The number of discovered Fuel Slave nodes appears in the Fuel web UI. +When all nodes boot, you can create an OpenStack environment. + +.. seealso:: + + - `create-env-ug` +
