Hi guys, I'm posting this here looking for some reviews about this new role and understand how it can be improved to cover the most of the baremetal setups that we're working on. Everything starts from our need to create a CI process to check OSP-HA which aims to be similar to all the actual used from the CI team. The role is here [1] and it's going to be used in combination with the others 4 roles built starting from tripleo-quickstart / C.A.T.. This role omits all the parts related to the virtual, treats virthost and undercloud as the same machine and does these tasks: - Prepare the undercloud, which must be at this time already provided (I'm working on making the user pass a provision script); - Copy the generated undercloud.conf and execute the pre installation script; - Install the undercloud; A typical playbook that would use this role will be declared as follows: ### playbooks/baremetal.yml: - name: Baremetal undercloud install hosts: localhost gather_facts: no roles: - ansible-role-tripleo-baremetal-undercloud tags: - undercloud-bm-install - name: Inventory the undercloud hosts: virthost gather_facts: no roles: - ansible-role-tripleo-inventory tags: - undercloud-inventory - name: Post undercloud install steps hosts: undercloud gather_facts: no roles: - ansible-role-tripleo-undercloud-post tags: - undercloud-post-install - name: Deploy the overcloud hosts: undercloud gather_facts: no roles: - ansible-role-tripleo-overcloud tags: - overcloud-deploy - name: Inventory the undercloud hosts: undercloud gather_facts: no roles: - ansible-role-tripleo-inventory tags: - overcloud-inventory ### The only pre requisite at the moment is that the baremetal machine/virthost/undercloud is a CentOS 7 provided and clean (in terms of installed repos) machine. In the future the provisioning itself will be part of the role. Since the main focus of this is to deploy HA on the baremetal, the config file should be similar to this: ### config/ha.yml: control_memory: 6144 compute_memory: 6144 undercloud_memory: 8192 undercloud_vcpu: 2 flavor_map: control: baremetal compute: baremetal overcloud_nodes: - name: control_0 flavor: baremetal - name: control_1 flavor: baremetal - name: control_2 flavor: baremetal - name: compute_0 flavor: baremetal - name: compute_1 flavor: baremetal step_introspect: true libvirt_type: kvm extra_args: "--ntp-server 10.5.26.10 --control-scale 3 --compute-scale 2 --ceph-storage-scale 0 --block-storage-scale 0 --swift-storage-scale 0 --templates -e /usr/share/openstack-tripleo-heat-templates/environments/puppet-pacemaker.yaml -e /usr/share/openstack-tripleo-heat-templates/environments/network-isolation.yaml -e /usr/share/openstack-tripleo-heat-templates/environments/net-single-nic-with-vlans.yaml -e /home/stack/network-environment.yaml --neutron-bridge-mappings datacentre:br-floating" tempest: false ### Putting all together can be done starting from ci-ansible-tripleo's deploy.sh script [2], passing useful parameters, like this: ### deploy.sh: ... ... VIRTHOST=<YOUR-UNDERCLOUD/VIRTHOST-IP> VIRTUAL_ENV=$WORKDIR/.cat OPT_CONFIG=$WORKDIR/config/ha.yml ... ... export ANSIBLE_ROLES_PATH=/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/tripleo-quickstart/playbooks/roles:<PATH-TO-LOCAL-PATCHED-ROLES>:$VIRTUAL_ENV/usr/local/share/tripleo-quickstart/playbooks/roles:$VIRTUAL_ENV/usr/local/share ... ... BM_INSTACKENV=/my/local/path/to/instackenv.json BM_NETWORKENV=/my/local/path/to/network-environment.yaml BM_NICCONFIGS=/my/local/path/to/nic-configs ansible-playbook -vvvv playbooks/baremetal.yml -e @$OPT_CONFIG -e local_working_dir=$OPT_WORKDIR -e ansible_python_interpreter=/usr/bin/python -e virthost=$VIRTHOST -e undercloud_setup=baremetal -e baremetal_instackenv=$BM_INSTACKENV -e baremetal_network_environment=$BM_NETWORKENV -e baremetal_nic_configs=$BM_NICCONFIGS ### Note the undercloud_setup=baremetal setting that is checked inside all the other involved roles, which of course must be patched for baremetal support: - ansible-role-tripleo-inventory [3] - ansible-role-tripleo-undercloud-post [4] - ansible-role-tripleo-overcloud [5] - ansible-role-tripleo-inventory [6] That's all, any help/thoughts/critics with this will be strongly appreciated. Many thanks.
