Openstack Valence Project

Valence is a service for lifecycle management of pooled bare-metal hardware infrastructure such as Intel(R) Rack Scale architecture which uses Redfish(TM) as one of the management protocols.

Download and Installation

The following steps capture how to install valence. All installation steps require super user permissions.

Valence installation

Install software dependencies

$ sudo apt-get install git python-pip rabbitmq-server libyaml-0-2 python-dev

Configure RabbitMq Server

$ sudo rabbitmqctl add_user rsd rsd #user this username/pwd in valence.conf

$ sudo rabbitmqctl set_user_tags rsd administrator

$ sudo rabbitmqctl set_permissions rsd ".*" ".*" ".*"

Clone the Valence code from git repo and change the directory to root Valence folder.

Install all necessary software pre-requisites using the pip requirements file.

$ sudo -E pip install -r requirements.txt

Execute the 'install_valence.sh' file the Valence root directory.

$ ./install_valence.sh

Check the values in valence.conf located at /etc/valence/valence.conf

set the ip/credentials of podm for which this Valence will interact

set the rabbitmq user/password to the one given above(Step 2)

Check the values in /etc/init/valence-api.conf, /etc/init/valence-controller.conf

Start api and controller services

$ service valence-api start

$ service valence-controller start

Logs are located at /var/logs/valence/

GUI installation

Please refer to the installation steps in the ui/README file.

Components

Valence follows the typical OpenStack project setup. The components are listed below:

valence-api

A pecan based daemon to expose Valence REST APIs. The api service communicates to the controller through AMQP.

valence-controller --------------The controller implements all the handlers for Plasma-api. It reads requests from the AMQP queue, process it and send the reponse back to the caller.

valence-ui --------valence-ui provides a GUI interface to invoke Valence APIs.

Features

Please refer the Valence blueprints for supported and in-the-pipeline features. https://blueprints.launchpad.net/plasma
