iBMC driver
===============
.. warning::
The ``ibmc`` driver has been deprecated due to a lack of a functioning
third party CI and will be removed in the Victoria development cycle.
Overview
========
The ``ibmc`` driver is targeted for Huawei V5 series rack server such as
2288H V5, CH121 V5. The iBMC hardware type enables the user to take advantage
of features of `Huawei iBMC`_ to control Huawei server.
Prerequisites
=============
The `HUAWEI iBMC Client library`_ should be installed on the ironic conductor
node(s).
For example, it can be installed with ``pip``::
sudo pip install python-ibmcclient
Enabling the iBMC driver
============================
#. Add ``ibmc`` to the list of ``enabled_hardware_types``,
``enabled_power_interfaces``, ``enabled_vendor_interfaces``
and ``enabled_management_interfaces`` in ``/etc/ironic/ironic.conf``. For example::
[DEFAULT]
...
enabled_hardware_types = ibmc,ipmi
enabled_power_interfaces = ibmc,ipmitool
enabled_management_interfaces = ibmc,ipmitool
enabled_vendor_interfaces = ibmc
#. Restart the ironic conductor service::
sudo service ironic-conductor restart
# Or, for RDO:
sudo systemctl restart openstack-ironic-conductor
Registering a node with the iBMC driver
===========================================
Nodes configured to use the driver should have the ``driver`` property
set to ``ibmc``.
The following properties are specified in the node's ``driver_info``
field:
- ``ibmc_address``:
The URL address to the ibmc controller. It must
include the authority portion of the URL, and can
optionally include the scheme. If the scheme is
missing, https is assumed.
For example: https://ibmc.example.com. This is required.
- ``ibmc_username``:
User account with admin/server-profile access
privilege. This is required.
- ``ibmc_password``:
User account password. This is required.
- ``ibmc_verify_ca``:
If ibmc_address has the **https** scheme, the
driver will use a secure (TLS_) connection when
talking to the ibmc controller. By default
(if this is set to True), the driver will try to
verify the host certificates. This can be set to
the path of a certificate file or directory with
trusted certificates that the driver will use for
verification. To disable verifying TLS_, set this
to False. This is optional.
The ``openstack baremetal node create`` command can be used to enroll
a node with the ``ibmc`` driver. For example:
.. code-block:: bash
openstack baremetal node create --driver ibmc
--driver-info ibmc_address=https://example.com \
--driver-info ibmc_username=admin \
--driver-info ibmc_password=password
For more information about enrolling nodes see :ref:`enrollment`
in the install guide.
Features of the ``ibmc`` hardware type
=========================================
Query boot up sequence
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The ``ibmc`` hardware type can query current boot up sequence from the
bare metal node
.. code-block:: bash
openstack baremetal node passthru call --http-method GET \
<node id or node name> boot_up_seq
PXE Boot and iSCSI Deploy Process with Ironic Standalone Environment
