Deployment and Scheduling tool for Bare Metal

Overview

This is a simple tool to provision bare metal machines using OpenStack Bare Metal Service (ironic), OpenStack Image Service (glance) and OpenStack Networking Service (neutron).

Installation

pip install --user metalsmith

Usage

Generic usage is as follows:

metalsmith --os-cloud <CLOUD NAME> deploy --image <GLANCE IMAGE> \
    --network <NEUTRON NET> --ssh-public-key <PATH TO SSH PUBLIC KEY> \
    <RESOURCE CLASS>

This is an example suitable for TripleO (replace compute with the profile you want to deploy):

source ~/stackrc
metalsmith deploy --image overcloud-full --network ctlplane \
    --capability profile=compute --ssh-public-key ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub baremetal

To remove the deployed instance:

metalsmith --os-cloud <CLOUD NAME> undeploy <NODE UUID>

For all possible options see the built-in help:

metalsmith --help
