Baremetal Provisioning for Openstack

Hi all,

How can I install/enable the baremetal provisioning feature for Openstack Grizzly? Any good resources, links?

My host is a single node CentOS fully working Openstack server installed with RDO packstack.

Thank you,
Jake

Thanks! I know how to use google. haha thats a funny site.
The only reason I ask here is because I am having trouble finding a good resource or documentation from google results.
Not all good blogs show up on google btw.

Best regards,
Jake

Your question didn't specify what you had searched for previously or why what you found wasn't satisfactory. The first link from that Google query has a section which specifies the differences in starting a baremetal cloud with detailed instructions (http://bit.ly/142rZOY). We need to know what information is missing from that documentation which stops you from using the baremetal driver.

Re: Baremetal Provisioning for Openstack [In reply to]

I was trying to find information from other than official openstack documentation. Every time I have followed the openstack docs I have either rendered my whole openstack server unusable or can never get said feature to work. So I am a bit weary to follow, because I have no way to clone my current physical server test environment before i make changes at this time.

One thing I need clarification on is, the nova driver that needs to be replaced. What happens to the previous driver and can I no longer use that with KVM?

Thanks

Please be respectful. Jake is using this list for exactly what is
intended. I have nothing but praise for a user who reaches out and asks
for help. I think we can all assume that users have searched for answers
and are now bringing a complicated question to a group of experienced
users and/or developers like ourselves.

Hi Jake. You may want to try switching to one of the fine sets of
puppet recipes or chef cookbooks that will give you a working Grizzly
system that you can re-build from scratch in case you break it. You
might also be interested in the "OpenStack on OpenStack", or "TripleO"
project which takes an image based approach and will give you an image
you can re-deploy to refresh your server. More info here:

http://github.com/openstack/tripleo-incubator

http://docs.openstack.org/grizzly/openstack-compute/admin/content/selecting-a-hypervisor.html

This explains that for the most part you can only have one hypervisor
at a time, though there are ways around that.

Because of the inherent security problems with baremetal nodes, it is
generally considered a very bad idea to run multiple tenants on nova's
baremetal system at this time. It is suitable for a single tenant though.

Good luck!

p.s. Please don't "top post". For mailing list archives and for some
users who have text based Email clients, the information flow works
better if newer things are below what they're referring to.

Hi Jake,

Docs here. Just wanted to apologise for your experience and let you know
that we are working very hard on a new set of docs for you for the next
release (which will be easier to maintain, and therefore easier for the
few of us working on it to keep up to date/accurate).

Also wanted to say that if bad things do happen, don't hesitate to send
angry rants to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/openstack-manuals/+filebug -
we'd seriously love some feedback so we can fix :)

Regards,

Tom

Hi Tom,
Thanks for the update. I am very excited about that news for sure.
I did not intend for my message to be a rant. Hope it didn't sounds that way.
I just have not had much luck with the official docs in my particular set up.

I am still very new to openstack so i wouldn't know where to begin to file a bug, because
I wouldn't recognize if something was a bug or if its something I am doing wrong.

But thanks for the encouragement!

Best,
Jake
