Install and configure prerequisites
The Bare Metal service is a collection of components that provides support to manage and provision physical machines. You can configure these components to run on separate nodes or the same node. In this guide, the components run on one node, typically the Compute Service's compute node.
It assumes that the Identity, Image, Compute, and Networking services have already been set up.
Set up the database for Bare Metal
The Bare Metal service stores information in a database. This guide uses the MySQL database that is used by other OpenStack services.
In MySQL, create an
ironicdatabase that is accessible by theironicuser. ReplaceIRONIC_DBPASSWORDwith a suitable password:# mysql -u root -p mysql> CREATE DATABASE ironic CHARACTER SET utf8; mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON ironic.* TO 'ironic'@'localhost' \ IDENTIFIED BY 'IRONIC_DBPASSWORD'; mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON ironic.* TO 'ironic'@'%' \ IDENTIFIED BY 'IRONIC_DBPASSWORD';
