XClarity driver¶
Overview¶
The xclarity
driver is targeted for IMM 2.0 and IMM 3.0 managed Lenovo
servers. The xclarity hardware type enables the user to take advantage of
XClarity Manager by using the XClarity Python Client.
Prerequisites¶
The XClarity Client library should be installed on the ironic conductor node(s).
For example, it can be installed with
pip
:sudo pip install python-xclarityclient
Enabling the XClarity driver¶
Add
xclarity
to the list ofenabled_hardware_types
,enabled_power_interfaces
andenabled_management_interfaces
in/etc/ironic/ironic.conf
. For example:[DEFAULT] ... enabled_hardware_types = ipmi,xclarity enabled_power_interfaces = ipmitool,xclarity enabled_management_interfaces = ipmitool,xclarity
Restart the ironic conductor service:
sudo service ironic-conductor restart # Or, for RDO: sudo systemctl restart openstack-ironic-conductor
Registering a node with the XClarity driver¶
Nodes configured to use the driver should have the driver
property
set to xclarity
.
The following properties are specified in the node’s driver_info
field and are required:
xclarity_manager_ip
: The IP address of the XClarity Controller.xclarity_username
: User account with admin/server-profile access privilege to the XClarity Controller.xclarity_password
: User account password corresponding to the xclarity_username to the XClarity Controller.xclarity_hardware_id
: The hardware ID of the XClarity managed server.
The baremetal node create
command can be used to enroll
a node with the xclarity
driver. For example:
baremetal node create --driver xclarity \
--driver-info xclarity_manager_ip=https://10.240.217.101 \
--driver-info xclarity_username=admin \
--driver-info xclarity_password=password \
--driver-info xclarity_hardware_id=hardware_id
