* Move liberty -> approved * Move completed liberty specs to liberty-implemented * Move kilo -> kilo-implemented * Move juno -> juno-implemented * Move kilo-archive -> backlog (moving these to approved causes test failures because the template changed since kilo) * Reword the header for the index page * Update unit tests to look at the new "approved" folder ** NOTE ** This patch does not create placeholders in the previous locations for each spec. This will be done in the following patch so that the history is preserved. Both patches must be landed together so that web links are not broken for long.

DRAC Power Driver for Ironic
|
|
==========================================
|
|
|
|
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ironic/+spec/drac-power-driver
|
|
|
|
The proposal presents the work required to add support for power management
|
|
features for Dell Remote Access Controller in Ironic.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Problem description
|
|
===================
|
|
Dell Remote Access Controller is an interface card from Dell offering a remote
|
|
system management. This proposal adds the power management capabilities for
|
|
DRAC.
|
|
|
|
Proposed change
|
|
===============
|
|
Adding a new DracDriver to the list of available drivers in Ironic and
|
|
implementing the DracPower module to interact with WS-Management API "(WS-Man)"
|
|
described in the ``DCIM Base Server and Physical Asset Profile`` using the
|
|
python binding of the OpenWSMAN library.
|
|
|
|
Alternatives
|
|
------------
|
|
There are other ways to interact with WS-Management endpoints but they are
|
|
wrappers around OpenWSMAN command-line client. These are:
|
|
|
|
* `Recite <http://en.community.dell.com/techcenter/systems-management/w/wiki/3757.recite-interactive-ws-man-scripting-environment.aspx>`_
|
|
|
|
* `Python WSMAN API <http://en.community.dell.com/techcenter/systems-management/w/wiki/3560.python-wsman-api-open-source.aspx>`_

|
None
|
|
|
|
Security impact
|
|
---------------
|
|
Admin credentials will be stored unencrypted in the DB and they will be visible
|
|
in the driver_info field of the node when a node-show is issued.
|
|
|
|
Other end user impact
|
|
---------------------
|
|
The following driver_info fields are required:
|
|
* drac_host: hostname or IP of the WS-Man endpoint
|
|
* drac_port: port of the WS-Man endpoint (*default value is 443, assuming the
|
|
user configured the endpoint in secure mode*)
|
|
* drac_path: path of the WS-Man endpoint (*default value is '/wsman'*)
|
|
* drac_protocol: protocol of the WS-Man endpoint (*default value is 'https',
|
|
assuming the user configured the endpoint in secure mode*)
|
|
* drac_username: username for the WS-Man endpoint
|
|
* drac_password: password for the WS-Man endpoint
|

Work Items
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
* Add DracDriver
|
|
|
|
* Implement DracPower module for the DracDriver
|
|
|
|
Dependencies
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
* This feature depends on the python binding of the OpenWSMAN library. It's
|
|
released under a simplified BSD licence and is available as a supported
|
|
package in Ubuntu and Red Hat repositories.
|
|
|
|
* This feature requires 11th or 12th generation of Dell PowerEdge servers.
|
|
|
|
Testing
|
|
=======
|
|
|
|
* Unit tests
|
|
|
|
* 3rd-party CI: we would like to do it for this driver, but do not have
|
|
sufficient hardware available at this time.
|
|
|
|
Documentation Impact
|
|
====================
|
|
|
|
The required driver_info properties need be included in the documentation to
|
|
instruct operators how to use Ironic with DRAC.
