Troubleshooting¶
Once all the services are running and configured properly, and a node has been
enrolled with the Bare Metal service and is in the available provision
state, the Compute service should detect the node
as an available resource and expose it to the scheduler.
Note
There is a delay, and it may take up to a minute (one periodic task cycle) for the Compute service to recognize any changes in the Bare Metal service’s resources (both additions and deletions).
In addition to watching nova-compute log files, you can see the available
resources by looking at the list of Compute hypervisors. The resources reported
therein should match the bare metal node properties, and the Compute service flavor.
Here is an example set of commands to compare the resources in Compute service and Bare Metal service:

Maintenance mode¶
Maintenance mode may be used if you need to take a node out of the resource pool. Putting a node in maintenance mode will prevent Bare Metal service from executing periodic tasks associated with the node. This will also prevent Compute service from placing a tenant instance on the node by not exposing the node to the nova scheduler. Nodes can be placed into maintenance mode with the following command.
$ baremetal node maintenance set $NODE_UUID
A maintenance reason may be included with the optional --reason command
line option. This is a free form text field that will be displayed in the
maintenance_reason section of the node show command.
$ baremetal node maintenance set $UUID --reason "Need to add ram."
$ baremetal node show $UUID
+------------------------+--------------------------------------+
| Property | Value |
+------------------------+--------------------------------------+
| target_power_state | None |
| extra | {} |
| last_error | None |
| updated_at | 2015-04-27T15:43:58+00:00 |
| maintenance_reason | Need to add ram. |
| ... | ... |
| maintenance | True |
| ... | ... |
+------------------------+--------------------------------------+
To remove maintenance mode and clear any maintenance_reason use the
following command.
$ baremetal node maintenance unset $NODE_UUID
