XClarity driver
===============
Overview
========
The ``xclarity`` driver is targeted for IMM 2.0 and IMM 3.0 managed Lenovo
servers. The xclarity hardware type enables the user to take advantage of
`XClarity Manager`_ by using the `XClarity Python Client`_.
Prerequisites
=============
* The XClarity Client library should be installed on the ironic conductor
node(s).
For example, it can be installed with ``pip``::
sudo pip install python-xclarityclient
Enabling the XClarity driver
============================
#. Add ``xclarity`` to the list of ``enabled_hardware_types``,
``enabled_power_interfaces`` and ``enabled_management_interfaces``
in ``/etc/ironic/ironic.conf``. For example::
[DEFAULT]
...
enabled_hardware_types = ipmi,xclarity
enabled_power_interfaces = ipmitool,xclarity
enabled_management_interfaces = ipmitool,xclarity
#. Restart the ironic conductor service::
sudo service ironic-conductor restart
# Or, for RDO:
sudo systemctl restart openstack-ironic-conductor
Registering a node with the XClarity driver
===========================================
Nodes configured to use the driver should have the ``driver`` property
set to ``xclarity``.
The following properties are specified in the node's ``driver_info``
field and are required:
- ``xclarity_manager_ip``: The IP address of the XClarity Controller.
- ``xclarity_username``: User account with admin/server-profile access
privilege to the XClarity Controller.
- ``xclarity_password``: User account password corresponding to the
xclarity_username to the XClarity Controller.
- ``xclarity_hardware_id``: The hardware ID of the XClarity managed server.
The ``openstack baremetal node create`` command can be used to enroll
a node with the ``xclarity`` driver. For example:
.. code-block:: bash
openstack baremetal node create --driver xclarity \
--driver-info xclarity_manager_ip=https://10.240.217.101 \
--driver-info xclarity_username=admin \
--driver-info xclarity_password=password \
--driver-info xclarity_hardware_id=hardware_id
For more information about enrolling nodes see :ref:`enrollment`
in the install guide.
