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.
For example, it can be installed with pip
:
sudo pip install python-ibmcclient
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
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:
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 Enrollment in the install guide.
ibmc
hardware type¶The ibmc
hardware type can query current boot up sequence from the
bare metal node
openstack baremetal node passthru call --http-method GET \
<node id or node name> boot_up_seq
