iRMC
----
The iRMC driver enables PXE deploy to control power via ServerView Common
Command Interface (SCCI).
Software requirements
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- Install `python-scciclient package <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/python-scciclient>`_::
$ pip install "python-scciclient>=0.1.0"
Enabling the iRMC driver
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- Add ``pxe_irmc`` to the list of ``enabled_drivers in``
``/etc/ironic/ironic.conf``
- Ironic Conductor must be restarted for the new driver to be loaded.
Ironic node configuration
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Nodes are configured for iRMC with PXE deploy by setting the ironic node
object's ``driver`` property to be ``pxe_irmc``. Further configuration values
are added to ``driver_info``:
- ``irmc_address``: hostname or IP of iRMC
- ``irmc_username``: username for iRMC with administrator privileges
- ``irmc_password``: password for irmc_username
- ``irmc_port``: port number of iRMC (optional, either 80 or 443. defalut 443)
- ``irmc_auth_method``: authentication method for iRMC (optional, either
'basic' or 'digest'. default is 'basic')
Supported platforms
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This driver supports FUJITSU PRIMERGY BX S4 or RX S8 servers and above.
- PRIMERGY BX920 S4
- PRIMERGY BX924 S4
- PRIMERGY RX300 S8

============
iRMC drivers
============
Overview
========
The iRMC driver enables control FUJITSU PRIMERGY via ServerView
Common Command Interface (SCCI).
There are 3 iRMC drivers:
* ``pxe_irmc``.
* ``iscsi_irmc``
* ``agent_irmc``
Prerequisites
=============
* Install `python-scciclient package <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/python-scciclient>`_::
$ pip install "python-scciclient>=0.2.0"
Drivers
=======
pxe_irmc driver
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This driver enables PXE deploy and power control via ServerView Common
Command Interface (SCCI).
Enabling the driver
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Add ``pxe_irmc`` to the list of ``enabled_drivers`` in ``[DEFAULT]``
section of ``/etc/ironic/ironic.conf``.
- Ironic Conductor must be restarted for the new driver to be loaded.
Node configuration
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* Each node is configured for iRMC with PXE deploy by setting the
following ironic node objects properties:
- ``driver`` property to be ``pxe_irmc``
- ``driver_info/irmc_address`` property to be ``IP address`` or
``hostname`` of the iRMC.
- ``driver_info/irmc_username`` property to be ``username`` for
the iRMC with administrator privileges.
- ``driver_info/irmc_password`` property to be ``password`` for
irmc_username.
- ``properties/capabilities`` property to be ``boot_mode:uefi`` if
UEFI boot is required.
* All of nodes are configured by setting the following configuration
options in ``[irmc]`` section of ``/etc/ironic/ironic.conf``:
- ``port``: Port to be used for iRMC operations; either 80
or 443. The default value is 443. Optional.
- ``auth_method``: Authentication method for iRMC operations;
either ``basic`` or ``digest``. The default value is ``basic``. Optional.
- ``client_timeout``: Timeout (in seconds) for iRMC
operations. The default value is 60. Optional.
- ``sensor_method``: Sensor data retrieval method; either
``ipmitool`` or ``scci``. The default value is ``ipmitool``. Optional.
* Each node can be further configured by setting the following ironic
node objects properties which override the parameter values in
``[irmc]`` section of ``/etc/ironic/ironic.conf``:
- ``driver_info/irmc_port`` property overrides ``port``.
- ``driver_info/irmc_auth_method`` property overrides ``auth_method``.
- ``driver_info/irmc_client_timeout`` property overrides ``client_timeout``.
- ``driver_info/irmc_sensor_method`` property overrides ``sensor_method``.
iscsi_irmc driver
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This driver enables Virtual Media deploy with image build from
Diskimage Builder and power control via ServerView Common Command
Interface (SCCI).
Enabling the driver
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Add ``iscsi_irmc`` to the list of ``enabled_drivers`` in
``[DEFAULT]`` section of ``/etc/ironic/ironic.conf``.
- Ironic Conductor must be restarted for the new driver to be loaded.
Node configuration
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* Each node is configured for iRMC with PXE deploy by setting the
followings ironic node objects properties:

- ``driver_info/irmc_deploy_iso`` property to be either ``deploy iso
file name``, ``Glance UUID``, ``Glance URL`` or ``Image Service
URL``.
- ``instance info/irmc_boot_iso`` property to be either ``boot iso
file name``, ``Glance UUID``, ``Glance URL`` or ``Image Service
