Command Line Interface to ease the use of OneView Driver for Ironic

Project description

Overview

Ironic-OneView CLI is a command line interface tool for easing the use of the OneView Drivers for Ironic. It allows the user to easily create and configure Ironic nodes compatible with OneView Server Hardware objects and create Nova flavors to match available Ironic nodes that use OneView drivers. It also offers the option to migrate Ironic nodes using pre-allocation model to the dynamic allocation model.

This tool creates Ironic nodes based on the Ironic OneView drivers’ dynamic allocation model [1] [2].


For more information on HP OneView entities, see [3].

Installation

To install Ironic-OneView CLI from PyPI, use the following command:

$ pip install ironic-oneview-cli

Configuration

Ironic-Oneview CLI uses credentials loaded into environment variables by the OpenStack RC and by the Ironic-OneView CLI RC files. You can download the OpenStack RC file from your cloud controller. The Ironic-OneView CLI RC file can be generated using the genrc subcommand:

$ ironic-oneview genrc

Since you have the ironic-oneviewrc.sh file, load its environment variables by running:

$ source ironic-oneviewrc.sh

You can also set credentials by passing them as command line parameters. To see which parameters to use for setting credentials, use the command:

$ ironic-oneview help

For more information how to obtain and load the OpenStack RC file, see [4].

Usage

Once the necessary environment variables and command line parameters are set, Ironic-OneView CLI is ready to be used.

Features

Node creation

To create Ironic nodes based on available HP OneView Server Hardware objects, use the following command:

$ ironic-oneview node-create

The tool will ask you to choose a valid Server Profile Template from those retrieved from HP OneView appliance.:

Retrieving Server Profile Templates from OneView...
+----+------------------------+----------------------+---------------------------+
| Id | Name                   | Enclosure Group Name | Server Hardware Type Name |
+----+------------------------+----------------------+---------------------------+
| 1  | template-dcs-virt-enc3 | virt-enclosure-group | BL460c Gen8 3             |
| 2  | template-dcs-virt-enc4 | virt-enclosure-group | BL660c Gen9 1             |
+----+------------------------+----------------------+---------------------------+

Once you have chosen a valid Server Profile Template, the tool lists the available Server Hardware that match the chosen Server Profile Template. Choose a Server Hardware to be used as base to the Ironic node you are creating.:

Listing compatible Server Hardware objects...
+----+-----------------+------+-----------+----------+----------------------+---------------------------+
| Id | Name            | CPUs | Memory MB | Local GB | Enclosure Group Name | Server Hardware Type Name |
+----+-----------------+------+-----------+----------+----------------------+---------------------------+
| 1  | VIRT-enl, bay 5 | 8    | 32768     | 120      | virt-enclosure-group | BL460c Gen8 3             |
| 2  | VIRT-enl, bay 8 | 8    | 32768     | 120      | virt-enclosure-group | BL460c Gen8 3             |
+----+-----------------+------+-----------+----------+----------------------+---------------------------+

Notice that you can create multiple Ironic nodes at once. For that, type multiple Server Hardware IDs separated by blank spaces. The created Ironic nodes will be in the enroll provisioning state.


Alternatively, you can set a Server Profile Template through command line and the tool prompt the list of Server Hardware to be used. For that, use the following command:

$ ironic-oneview node-create --server-profile-template-name <spt_name>

Or set the number of nodes you want to create and the tool will show the list of Server Profile Template to be chosen. For that, use the following command:

$ ironic-oneview node-create --number <number>

To list all nodes in Ironic, use the command:

$ ironic node-list

For more information about the created Ironic node, use the command:

$ ironic node-show <node_uuid>

Flavor creation

To create Nova flavors compatible with available Ironic nodes, use the following command:

$ ironic-oneview flavor-create

The tool will now prompt you to choose a valid flavor configuration, according to available Ironic nodes.:

+----+------+---------+-----------+-------------------------------------+----------------------+-------------------------+
| Id | CPUs | Disk GB | Memory MB | Server Profile Template             | Server Hardware Type | Enclosure Group Name    |
+----+------+---------+-----------+-------------------------------------+----------------------+-------------------------+
| 1  | 8    | 120     | 8192      | second-virt-server-profile-template | BL460c Gen9 1        | virtual-enclosure-group |
+----+------+---------+-----------+-------------------------------------+----------------------+-------------------------+

After choosing a valid configuration ID, you’ll be prompted to name the new flavor. If you leave the field blank, a default name will be used.


To list all flavors in Nova, use the command:

$ nova flavor-list

For more information about the created Nova flavor, use the command:

$ nova flavor-show <flavor>

Node migration

To migrate pre-allocation Ironic nodes to the Ironic OneView drivers’ dynamic allocation model, use the following command:

$ ironic-oneview migrate-to-dynamic

The tool will prompt you to choose the available pre-allocation nodes to migrate, those retrieved from Ironic.:

Retrieving pre-allocation Nodes from Ironic...
+----+--------------------------------------+----------------------+---------------------------+--------------------+
| Id | Node UUID                            | Server Hardware Name | Server Hardware Type Name | Enclose Group Name |
+----+--------------------------------------+----------------------+---------------------------+--------------------+
| 1  | 607e269f-155e-443e-83af-d3a553c8b535 | Encl1, bay 6         | BL460c Gen8 1             | VirtualEnclosure   |
| 2  | 3ca132c0-0769-48d1-a2af-9a67f363345e | Encl1, bay 7         | BL460c Gen8 1             | VirtualEnclosure   |
| 3  | e9eb685d-cb46-4645-9980-f27b44e472f9 | Encl1, bay 8         | BL460c Gen8 1             | VirtualEnclosure   |
+----+--------------------------------------+----------------------+---------------------------+--------------------+

Once you have chosen a valid pre-allocation node ID, the tool will migrate the node to dynamic allocation model. Notice that you can migrate multiple nodes at once. For that, type multiple nodes Id separated by blank spaces or type all to migrate all nodes shown at once.


To migrate one or more specific pre-allocation node(s), without showing the table of pre-allocation nodes available, use the command:

$ ironic-oneview migrate-to-dynamic --nodes <node_uuid> [<node_uuid> ...]

To migrate all available pre-allocation nodes at once, without showing the table of pre-allocation nodes available, use the command:

$ ironic-oneview migrate-to-dynamic --all

Node delete

The tool also offers the option to delete a specific number of Ironic nodes. For that use the following command:

$ ironic-oneview node-delete --number <number>

To delete all Ironic nodes, use the command:

$ ironic-oneview node-delete --all
