Redfish driver
==============
Overview
========
The ``redfish`` driver enables managing servers compliant with the
Redfish_ protocol.
Prerequisites
=============
* The Sushy_ library should be installed on the ironic conductor node(s).
For example, it can be installed with ``pip``::
sudo pip install sushy
Enabling the Redfish driver
===========================
#. Add ``redfish`` 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,redfish
enabled_power_interfaces = ipmitool,redfish
enabled_management_interfaces = ipmitool,redfish
#. Restart the ironic conductor service::
sudo service ironic-conductor restart
# Or, for RDO:
sudo systemctl restart openstack-ironic-conductor
Registering a node with the Redfish driver
===========================================
Nodes configured to use the driver should have the ``driver`` property
set to ``redfish``.
The following properties are specified in the node's ``driver_info``
field:
- ``redfish_address``: The URL address to the Redfish controller. It must
include the authority portion of the URL, and can
optionally include the scheme. If the scheme is
missing, https is assumed.
For example: https://mgmt.vendor.com. This is required.
- ``redfish_system_id``: The canonical path to the System resource that
the driver will interact with. It should include
the root service, version and the unique
resource path to the System. For example:
/redfish/v1/Systems/1. This is required.
- ``redfish_username``: User account with admin/server-profile access
privilege. Although not required, it is highly
recommended.
- ``redfish_password``: User account password. Although not required, it is
highly recommended.
- ``redfish_verify_ca``: If redfish_address has the **https** scheme, the
driver will use a secure (TLS_) connection when
talking to the Redfish controller. By default
(if this is not set or set to True), the driver
will try to verify the host certificates. This
can be set to the path of a certificate file or
directory with trusted certificates that the
driver will use for verification. To disable
verifying TLS_, set this to False. This is optional.
The ``openstack baremetal node create`` command can be used to enroll
a node with the ``redfish`` driver. For example:
.. code-block:: bash
openstack baremetal node create --driver redfish --driver-info \
redfish_address=https://example.com --driver-info \
redfish_system_id=/redfish/v1/Systems/CX34R87 --driver-info \
redfish_username=admin --driver-info redfish_password=password
For more information about enrolling nodes see :ref:`enrollment`
in the install guide.
