Re: [rdo-list] [TripleO] Newton large baremetal deployment issues

Hey Charles, If you want to deploy a large number of machines, I suggest you deploy a small configuration (maybe 3 controllers 1 compute) and then run the overcloud deploy command again with 2 computes, so on and so forth until you reach your full allocation Realistically you can probably do a stride of 5 computes each time, experiment with it a bit, as you get up to the full allocation of nodes you might run into a race condition bug with assigning computes to nodes and need to pin nodes (pinning is adding as an ironic property that overcloud-novacompute-0 goes here, 1 here, so on and so forth). As for actually solving the deployment issues at scale (instead of this horrible hack) I'm looking into adding some robustness at the ironic or tripleo level to these operations. It sounds like you're running more into node assignment issues rather than pxe issues though. 2016-11-03 9:16 GMT-04:00 Luca 'remix_tj' Lorenzetto <lorenzetto.luca(a)gmail.com <mailto:lorenzetto.luca@gmail.com>>: On Wed, Nov 2, 2016 at 8:30 PM, Charles Short <cems(a)ebi.ac.uk <mailto:cems@ebi.ac.uk>> wrote: > Some more testing of different amounts of nodes vs time taken for successful > deployments - > > 3 controller 3 compute = 1 hour > 3 controller 15 compute = 1 hour > 3 controller 25 compute = 1 hour 45 mins > 3 controller 35 compute = 4 hours Hello, i'm now preparing my deployment of 3+2 nodes. I'll check what you reported and give you some feedback.
