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

Clone the Valence code from git repo.

$ git clone https://git.openstack.org/openstack/rsc

3. Execute the 'install_valence.sh' file present in the Valence root directory. The install script will automatically install the dependencies listed in the requirements.txt file.

$ sudo bash 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

Check the PYTHON_HOME and other variables in /etc/init/valence.conf

Start valence service

$ sudo service valence 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/openstack-valence
