Re: [rdo-list] [quickstart] Status of undercloud baremetal role and future evolutions

Hi guys, just would like to share the status around the role in the subject so to keep the one interested up to date. What we want to achieve with this role is to have a ready to use baremetal undercloud, like the virtual one produced by tripleo-quickstart. At the moment there is just one job in the RDO pipeline that uses this role [1], plan is to have more than this, because you already know that "with baremetal is never easy".

I've worked to make the role integrate with the oooq evolution, trying to reuse as much as possible the existing extra roles. So, with the latest modifications the role does these basic task: 1) machine-provision: provide the machine with specific a script that needs to be passed; 2) machine-setup: create the user, add the machine to ansible inventory and basically makes virthost == undercloud; 3) undercloud-repos-conf: configure the repos based upon the release parameter passed to quickstar.sh command line; 4) overcloud-images: download the images again based upon the release parameter; So a playbook that deploys a complete undercloud baremetal env should include these roles: - tripleo-baremetal-undercloud - undercloud-scripts (from tripleo-quickstart) - undercloud-install (from tripleo-quickstart) The additional role for the baremetal preparation must be used to finish the bm setup: - overcloud-prep-baremetal And then, from this point on, everything can proceed with the usual order, so: - overcloud-prep-config - overcloud-prep-images - overcloud-prep-flavors - overcloud-prep-network - tripleo-overcloud - tripleo-inventory In addition one can specify the validation steps, in my case I'm using this [2] because of HA. Interventions were needed on these roles: - ansible-role-tripleo-overcloud-prep-network: Do not copy network-environment.yaml on baremetal [3]; - ansible-role-tripleo-overcloud-prep-baremetal: Add optional upstream ipxe installation [4]; - ansible-role-tripleo-baremetal-undercloud: Integrate role with oooq extra roles [5]; That's basically all, all this stuff was tested as working on a bm env, and basically I'm asking now for reviews and considerations.
