From 4e1320c4235476d7e2a0a90f80997e8371c5f399 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tim Rozet Date: Wed, 30 Nov 2016 11:03:02 -0500 Subject: Adds declaring disk device to use on overcloud nodes Now in inventory file a user can declare 'disk_device' which will allow the user to specify which disk on their overcloud server to use for installation. The variable can be a comma delimited list, which will search in order post-introspection for the first device on the node that exists. The default disk used will be sda for deployments. Currently defining a per node disk is not supported by OSCLI, so although defined that way in Apex inventory, only the last definition will be used for all nodes. Other changes include: - Various fixes in inventory parsing - Makes bash writing a common function - Introspection now enabled for baremetal deployments JIRA: APEX-296 Change-Id: I330d91eb17408ccfceb7a99c25edbae5ce6d848d Signed-off-by: Tim Rozet --- docs/installationprocedure/baremetal.rst | 9 +++++++++ 1 file changed, 9 insertions(+) (limited to 'docs/installationprocedure') diff --git a/docs/installationprocedure/baremetal.rst b/docs/installationprocedure/baremetal.rst index 15c80c3b..83cda326 100644 --- a/docs/installationprocedure/baremetal.rst +++ b/docs/installationprocedure/baremetal.rst @@ -202,6 +202,7 @@ IPMI configuration information gathered in section - ``cpus``: (Introspected*) CPU cores available - ``memory``: (Introspected*) Memory available in Mib - ``disk``: (Introspected*) Disk space available in Gb + - ``disk_device``: (Opt***) Root disk device to use for installation - ``arch``: (Introspected*) System architecture - ``capabilities``: (Opt**) Node's role in deployment values: profile:control or profile:compute @@ -213,6 +214,14 @@ IPMI configuration information gathered in section ** If capabilities profile is not specified then Apex will select node's roles in the OPNFV cluster in a non-deterministic fashion. + \*** disk_device declares which hard disk to use as the root device for + installation.
