SeaMicro driver
|
|
===============
|
|
|
|
Overview
|
|
========
|
|
The SeaMicro power driver enables you to take advantage of power cycle
|
|
management of servers (nodes) within the SeaMicro chassis. The SeaMicro
|
|
driver is targeted for SeaMicro Fabric Compute systems.
|
|
|
|
Prerequisites
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
* ``python-seamicroclient`` is a python package which contains a set of modules
|
|
for managing SeaMicro Fabric Compute systems.
|
|
|
|
Install ``python-seamicroclient`` [1]_ module on the Ironic conductor node.
|
|
Minimum version required is 0.4.0.::
|
|
|
|
$ pip install "python-seamicroclient>=0.4.0"
|
|
|
|
Drivers
|
|
=======
|
|
|
|
pxe_seamicro driver
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Overview
|
|
~~~~~~~~
|
|
``pxe_seamicro`` driver uses PXE/iSCSI (just like ``pxe_ipmitool`` driver) to
|
|
deploy the image and uses SeaMicro to do all management operations on the
|
|
baremetal node (instead of using IPMI).
|
|
|
|
Target Users
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
* Users who want to use PXE/iSCSI for deployment in their environment.
|
|
* Users who want to use SeaMicro Fabric Compute systems.
|
|
|
|
Tested Platforms
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
This driver works on SeaMicro Fabric Compute system.
|
|
It has been tested with the following servers:
|
|
|
|
* SeaMicro SM15000-XN
|
|
* SeaMicro SM15000-OP
|
|
|
|
Requirements
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
None.
|
|
|
|
Configuring and Enabling the driver
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
1. Build or download a deploy image, see :ref:`BuildingDeployRamdisk`
|
|
|
|
2. Upload these images to Glance::
|
|
|
|
glance image-create --name deploy-ramdisk.kernel --disk-format aki --container-format aki < deploy-ramdisk.kernel
|
|
glance image-create --name deploy-ramdisk.initramfs --disk-format ari --container-format ari < deploy-ramdisk.initramfs
|
|
|
|
3. Add ``pxe_seamicro`` to the list of ``enabled_drivers`` in
|
|
``/etc/ironic/ironic.conf``. For example::
|
|
|
|
enabled_drivers = pxe_ipmitool,pxe_seamicro
|
|
|
|
4. Restart the Ironic conductor service::
|
|
|
|
service ironic-conductor restart
|
|
|
|
Registering SeaMicro node in Ironic
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
Nodes configured for SeaMicro driver should have the ``driver`` property set to
|
|
``pxe_seamicro``. The following configuration values are also required in
|
|
``driver_info``:
|
|
|
|
- ``seamicro_api_endpoint``: IP address or hostname of the SeaMicro with valid
|
|
URL as http://<IP_address/hostname>/v2.0
|
|
- ``seamicro_server_id``: SeaMicro Server ID. Expected format is <int>/<int>
|
|
- ``seamicro_username``: SeaMicro Username with administrator privileges.
|
|
- ``seamicro_password``: Password for the above SeaMicro user.
|
|
- ``deploy_kernel``: The Glance UUID of the deployment kernel.
|
|
- ``deploy_ramdisk``: The Glance UUID of the deployment ramdisk.
|
|
- ``seamicro_api_version``: (optional) SeaMicro API Version defaults to "2".
|
|
- ``seamicro_terminal_port``: (optional) Node's UDP port for console access.
|
|
Any unused port on the Ironic conductor node may be used.
|
|
|
|
The following sequence of commands can be used to enroll a SeaMicro node and
|
|
boot an instance on it:
|
|
|
|
Create nova baremetal flavor corresponding to SeaMicro server's config::
|
|
|
|
nova flavor-create baremetal auto <memory_size_in_MB> <disk_size_in_GB> <number_of_cpus>
|
|
|
|
Create Node::
|
|
|
|
ironic node-create -d pxe_seamicro -i seamicro_api_endpoint=https://<seamicro_ip_address>/ -i seamicro_server_id=<seamicro_server_id> -i seamicro_username=<seamicro_username> -i seamicro_password=<seamicro_password> -i seamicro_api_version=<seamicro_api_version> -i seamicro_terminal_port=<seamicro_terminal_port> -i deploy_kernel=<glance_uuid_of_deploy_kernel> -i deploy_ramdisk=<glance_uuid_of_deploy_ramdisk> -p cpus=<number_of_cpus> -p memory_mb=<memory_size_in_MB> -p local_gb=<local_disk_size_in_GB> -p cpu_arch=<cpu_arch>
|
|
|
|
Associate port with the node created::
|
|
|
|
ironic port-create -n $NODE -a <MAC_address_of_SeaMicro_server's_NIC>
|
|
|
|
Associate properties with the flavor::
|
|
|
|
nova flavor-key baremetal set "cpu_arch"=<cpu_arch>
|
|
|
|
Boot the Instance::
|
|
|
|
nova boot --flavor baremetal --image test-image instance-1
