Development Environment
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
First of all, install *tox* utility. It's likely to be in your distribution
|
|
repositories under name of ``python-tox``. Alternatively, you can install it
|
|
from PyPI.
|
|
|
|
Next checkout and create environments::
|
|
|
|
git clone https://github.com/openstack/ironic-inspector.git
|
|
cd ironic-inspector
|
|
tox
|
|
|
|
Repeat *tox* command each time you need to run tests. If you don't have Python
|
|
interpreter of one of supported versions (currently 2.7 and 3.4), use
|
|
``-e`` flag to select only some environments, e.g.
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
tox -e py27
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
Support for Python 3 is highly experimental, stay with Python 2 for the
|
|
production environment for now.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
This command also runs tests for database migrations. By default the sqlite
|
|
backend is used. For testing with mysql or postgresql, you need to set up
|
|
a db named 'openstack_citest' with user 'openstack_citest' and password
|
|
'openstack_citest' on localhost. Use the script
|
|
``tools/test_setup.sh`` to set the database up the same way as
|
|
done in the OpenStack CI environment.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
Users of Fedora <= 23 will need to run "sudo dnf --releasever=24 update
|
|
python-virtualenv" to run unit tests
|
|
|
|
To run the functional tests, use::
|
|
|
|
tox -e func
|
|
|
|
Once you have added new state or transition into inspection state machine, you
|
|
should regenerate :ref:`State machine diagram <state_machine_diagram>` with::
|
|
|
|
tox -e genstates
|
|
|
|
Run the service with::
|
|
|
|
.tox/py27/bin/ironic-inspector --config-file example.conf
|
|
|
|
Of course you may have to modify ``example.conf`` to match your OpenStack
|
|
environment. See the `install guide <../install#sample-configuration-files>`_
|
|
for information on generating or downloading an example configuration file.
|
|
|
|
You can develop and test **ironic-inspector** using DevStack - see
|
|
`Deploying Ironic Inspector with DevStack`_ for the current status.
|
|
|
|
Deploying Ironic Inspector with DevStack
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
`DevStack <https://docs.openstack.org/devstack/latest/>`_ provides a way to
|
|
quickly build a full OpenStack development environment with requested
|
|
components. There is a plugin for installing **ironic-inspector** in DevStack.
|
|
Installing **ironic-inspector** requires a machine running Ubuntu 14.04 (or
|
|
later) or Fedora 23 (or later). Make sure this machine is fully up to date and
|
|
has the latest packages installed before beginning this process.
|
|
|
|
Download DevStack::
|
|
|
|
git clone https://git.openstack.org/openstack-dev/devstack.git
|
|
cd devstack
|
|
|
|
|
|
Create ``local.conf`` file with minimal settings required to
|
|
enable both the **ironic** and the **ironic-inspector**. You can start with the
|
|
`Example local.conf`_ and extend it as needed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Example local.conf
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
.. literalinclude:: ../../../devstack/example.local.conf
|
|
|
|
|
|
Notes
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
* Set IRONIC_INSPECTOR_BUILD_RAMDISK to True if you want to build ramdisk.
|
|
Default value is False and ramdisk will be downloaded instead of building.
|
|
|
|
* 1024 MiB of RAM is a minimum required for the default build of IPA based on
|
|
CoreOS. If you plan to use another operating system and build IPA with
|
|
diskimage-builder 2048 MiB is recommended.
|
|
|
|
* Network configuration is pretty sensitive, better not to touch it
|
|
without deep understanding.
|
|
|
|
* This configuration disables **horizon**, **heat**, **cinder** and
|
|
**tempest**, adjust it if you need these services.
|
|
|
|
Start the install::
|
|
|
|
./stack.sh
|
|
|
|
Usage
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
After installation is complete, you can source ``openrc`` in your shell, and
|
|
then use the OpenStack CLI to manage your DevStack::
|
|
|
|
source openrc admin demo
|
|
|
|
Show DevStack screens::
|
|
|
|
screen -x stack
|
|
|
|
To exit screen, hit ``CTRL-a d``.
|
|
|
|
List baremetal nodes::
|
|
|
|
openstack baremetal node list
|
|
|
|
Bring the node to manageable state::
|
|
|
|
openstack baremetal node manage <NodeID>
|
|
|
|
Inspect the node::
|
|
|
|
openstack baremetal node inspect <NodeID>
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
The deploy driver used must support the inspect interface. See also the
|
|
`Ironic Python Agent
|
|
<https://docs.openstack.org/ironic/latest/admin/drivers/ipa.html>`_.
|
|
|
|
A node can also be inspected using the following command. However, this will
|
|
not affect the provision state of the node::
|
|
|
|
openstack baremetal introspection start <NodeID>
|
|
|
|
Check inspection status::
|
|
|
|
openstack baremetal introspection status <NodeID>
|
|
|
|
Optionally, get the inspection data::
|
|
|
|
openstack baremetal introspection data save <NodeID>
|
|
|
|
|
|
Writing a Plugin
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
* **ironic-inspector** allows you to hook code into the data processing chain
|
|
after introspection. Inherit ``ProcessingHook`` class defined in
|
|
ironic_inspector.plugins.base_ module and overwrite any or both of
|
|
the following methods:
|
|
|
|
``before_processing(introspection_data,**)``
|
|
called before any data processing, providing the raw data. Each plugin in
|
|
the chain can modify the data, so order in which plugins are loaded
|
|
matters here. Returns nothing.
|
|
``before_update(introspection_data,node_info,**)``
|
|
called after node is found and ports are created, but before data is
|
|
updated on a node. Please refer to the docstring for details
|
|
and examples.
|
|
|
|
You can optionally define the following attribute:
|
|
|
|
``dependencies``
|
|
a list of entry point names of the hooks this hook depends on. These
|
|
hooks are expected to be enabled before the current hook.
|
|
|
|
Make your plugin a setuptools entry point under
|
|
``ironic_inspector.hooks.processing`` namespace and enable it in the
|
|
configuration file (``processing.processing_hooks`` option).
|
|
|
|
* **ironic-inspector** allows plugins to override the action when node is not
|
|
found in node cache. Write a callable with the following signature:
|
|
|
|
``(introspection_data,**)``
|
|
called when node is not found in cache, providing the processed data.
|
|
Should return a ``NodeInfo`` class instance.
|
|
|
|
Make your plugin a setuptools entry point under
|
|
``ironic_inspector.hooks.node_not_found`` namespace and enable it in the
|
|
configuration file (``processing.node_not_found_hook`` option).
|
|
|
|
* **ironic-inspector** allows more condition types to be added for
|
|
`Introspection Rules`_. Inherit ``RuleConditionPlugin`` class defined in
|
|
ironic_inspector.plugins.base_ module and overwrite at least the following
|
|
method:
|
|
|
|
``check(node_info,field,params,**)``
|
|
called to check that condition holds for a given field. Field value is
|
|
provided as ``field`` argument, ``params`` is a dictionary defined
|
|
at the time of condition creation. Returns boolean value.
|
|
|
|
The following methods and attributes may also be overridden:
|
|
|
|
``validate(params,**)``
|
|
called to validate parameters provided during condition creating.
|
|
Default implementation requires keys listed in ``REQUIRED_PARAMS`` (and
|
|
only them).
|
|
|
|
``REQUIRED_PARAMS``
|
|
contains set of required parameters used in the default implementation
|
|
of ``validate`` method, defaults to ``value`` parameter.
|
|
|
|
``ALLOW_NONE``
|
|
if it's set to ``True``, missing fields will be passed as ``None``
|
|
values instead of failing the condition. Defaults to ``False``.
|
|
|
|
Make your plugin a setuptools entry point under
|
|
``ironic_inspector.rules.conditions`` namespace.
|
|
|
|
* **ironic-inspector** allows more action types to be added for `Introspection
|
|
Rules`_. Inherit ``RuleActionPlugin`` class defined in
|
|
ironic_inspector.plugins.base_ module and overwrite at least the following
|
|
method:
|
|
|
|
``apply(node_info,params,**)``
|
|
called to apply the action.
|
|
|
|
The following methods and attributes may also be overridden:
|
|
|
|
``validate(params,**)``
|
|
called to validate parameters provided during actions creating.
|
|
Default implementation requires keys listed in ``REQUIRED_PARAMS`` (and
|
|
only them).
|
|
|
|
``REQUIRED_PARAMS``
|
|
contains set of required parameters used in the default implementation
|
|
of ``validate`` method, defaults to no parameters.
|
|
|
|
Make your plugin a setuptools entry point under
|
|
``ironic_inspector.rules.conditions`` namespace.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
``**`` argument is needed so that we can add optional arguments without
|
|
breaking out-of-tree plugins. Please make sure to include and ignore it.

Making changes to the database
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
In order to make a change to the ironic-inspector database you must update the
|
|
database models found in ironic_inspector.db_ and then create a migration to
|
|
reflect that change.
|
|
|
|
There are two ways to create a migration which are described below, both of
|
|
these generate a new migration file. In this file there is only one function:
|
|
|
|
* ``upgrade`` - The function to run when
|
|
``ironic-inspector-dbsync upgrade`` is run, and should be populated with
|
|
code to bring the database up to its new state from the state it was in
|
|
after the last migration.
|
|
|
|
For further information on creating a migration, refer to
|
|
`Create a Migration Script`_ from the alembic documentation.
|
|
|
|
Autogenerate
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
This is the simplest way to create a migration. Alembic will compare the models
|
|
to an up to date database, and then attempt to write a migration based on the
|
|
differences. This should generate correct migrations in most cases however
|
|
there are some cases when it can not detect some changes and may require
|
|
manual modification, see `What does Autogenerate Detect (and what does it not
|
|
detect?)`_ from the alembic documentation.
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
ironic-inspector-dbsync upgrade
|
|
ironic-inspector-dbsync revision -m "A short description" --autogenerate
|
|
|
|
Manual
|
|
------
|
|
|
|
This will generate an empty migration file, with the correct revision
|
|
information already included. However the upgrade function is left empty
|
|
and must be manually populated in order to perform the correct actions on
|
|
the database::
|
|
|
|
ironic-inspector-dbsync revision -m "A short description"

Implementing PXE Filter Drivers
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Background
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
**inspector** in-band introspection PXE-boots the Ironic Python Agent "live"
|
|
image, to inspect the baremetal server. **ironic** also PXE-boots IPA to
|
|
perform tasks on a node, such as deploying an image. **ironic** uses
|
|
**neutron** to provide DHCP, however **neutron** does not provide DHCP for
|
|
unknown MAC addresses so **inspector** has to use its own DHCP/TFTP stack for
|
|
discovery and inspection.
|
|
|
|
When **ironic** and **inspector** are operating in the same L2 network, there
|
|
is a potential for the two DHCPs to race, which could result in a node being
|
|
deployed by **ironic** being PXE booted by **inspector**.
|
|
|
|
To prevent DHCP races between the **inspector** DHCP and **ironic** DHCP,
|
|
**inspector** has to be able to filter which nodes can get a DHCP lease from
|
|
the **inspector** DHCP server. These filters can then be used to prevent
|
|
node's enrolled in **ironic** inventory from being PXE-booted unless they are
|
|
explicitly moved into the ``inspected`` state.
|
|
|
|
Filter Interface
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
.. py:currentmodule:: ironic_inspector.pxe_filter.interface
|
|
|
|
The contract between **inspector** and a PXE filter driver is described in the
|
|
:class:`FilterDriver` interface. The methods a driver has to implement are:
|
|
|
|
* :meth:`~FilterDriver.init_filter` called on the service start to initialize
|
|
internal driver state
|
|
|
|
* :meth:`~FilterDriver.sync` called both periodically and when a node starts or
|
|
finishes introspection to white or blacklist its ports MAC addresses in the
|
|
driver
|
|
|
|
* :meth:`~FilterDriver.tear_down_filter` called on service exit to reset the
|
|
internal driver state
|
|
|
|
.. py:currentmodule:: ironic_inspector.pxe_filter.base
|
|
|
|
The driver-specific configuration is suggested to be parsed during
|
|
instantiation. There's also a convenience generic interface implementation
|
|
:class:`BaseFilter` that provides base locking and initialization
|
|
implementation. If required, a driver can opt-out from the periodic
|
|
synchronization by overriding the :meth:`~BaseFilter.get_periodic_sync_task`.
|
