SNMP driver
===========
The SNMP power driver enables control of power distribution units of the type
frequently found in data centre racks. PDUs frequently have a management
ethernet interface and SNMP support enabling control of the power outlets.
The SNMP power driver works with the PXE driver for network deployment and
network-configured boot.
List of supported devices
=========================
This is a non-exhaustive list of supported devices. Any device not listed in
this table could possibly work using a similar driver.
Please report any device status.

Software Requirements
=====================
- The PySNMP package must be installed, variously referred to as ``pysnmp``
or ``python-pysnmp``
Enabling the SNMP Power Driver
==============================
#. Add ``snmp`` to the list of ``enabled_hardware_types`` in ``ironic.conf``.
Also update ``enabled_management_interfaces`` and
``enabled_power_interfaces`` in ``ironic.conf`` as shown below:
.. code-block:: ini
[DEFAULT]
enabled_hardware_types = snmp
enabled_management_interfaces = fake
enabled_power_interfaces = snmp
#. Alternatively, if you prefer using the classic driver instead of the
``snmp`` hardware type, add ``pxe_snmp`` to the list of ``enabled_drivers``
in ``ironic.conf``:
.. code-block:: ini
[DEFAULT]
enabled_drivers = pxe_snmp
#. To set the default boot option, update ``default_boot_option`` in
``ironic.conf``:
.. code-block:: ini
[DEFAULT]
default_boot_option = netboot
.. note::
Currently the default value of ``default_boot_option`` is ``netboot``
but it will be changed to ``local`` in the future. It is recommended
to set an explicit value for this option.
.. note::
It is important to set ``boot_option`` to ``netboot`` as SNMP drivers
do not support setting of boot devices. One can also configure a node
to boot using ``netboot`` by setting its ``capabilities`` and updating
Nova flavor as described below:
.. code-block:: console
openstack baremetal node set --property capabilities="boot_option:netboot" <node-uuid>
openstack flavor set --property "capabilities:boot_option"="netboot" ironic-flavor
#. Restart the Ironic conductor service.
.. code-block:: bash
service ironic-conductor restart
Ironic Node Configuration
=========================
Nodes configured to use the SNMP driver should have the ``driver`` field
set to the hardware type ``snmp`` (preferred) or to the classic driver
``pxe_snmp``.
The following property values have to be added to the node's
``driver_info`` field:
- ``snmp_driver``: PDU manufacturer driver
- ``snmp_address``: the IPv4 address of the PDU controlling this node.
- ``snmp_port``: (optional) A non-standard UDP port to use for SNMP operations.
If not specified, the default port (161) is used.
- ``snmp_outlet``: The power outlet on the PDU (1-based indexing).
- ``snmp_version``: (optional) SNMP protocol version
(permitted values ``1``, ``2c`` or ``3``). If not specified, SNMPv1
is chosen.
- ``snmp_community``: (Required for SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c) SNMP community
parameter for reads and writes to the PDU.
- ``snmp_security``: (Required for SNMPv3) SNMPv3 User-based Security Model
(USM) user name.
The following command can be used to enroll a node with the ``snmp`` driver:
.. code-block:: bash
openstack baremetal node create --os-baremetal-api-version=1.31 \
--driver snmp --driver-info snmp_driver=<pdu_manufacturer> \
--driver-info snmp_address=<ip_address> \
--driver-info snmp_outlet=<outlet_index> \
--driver-info snmp_community=<community_string> \
--properties capabilities=boot_option:netboot
PDU Configuration
=================
This version of the SNMP power driver does not support SNMPv3 authentication
or encryption features. When using SNMPv3, the SNMPv3 agent at the PDU must
be configured in ``noAuthNoPriv`` mode. Also, the ``snmp_security`` parameter
is used to configure SNMP USM user name to the SNMP manager at the power
driver. The same USM user name must be configured to the target SNMP agent.
