Mark Goddard 00a1bd3ae5 Add an Ansible group for bifrost
It is not currently possible to deploy Bifrost on a host other than the
Ansible control host. A deployer may want to manage an Ansible control
environment remotely from the Bifrost deployment host but is currently
unable to.

This change adds a new top level 'deployment' Ansible group and a
'bifrost' Ansible group containing the 'deployment' group. The Ansible
play in ansible/bifrost.yml is now targeted at the hosts in the
'bifrost' group. For backwards compatibility, the all-in-one and
multinode inventories add localhost to the deployment group. This allows
a deployer to deploy Bifrost on a remote host by modifying the hosts in
the deployment or bifrost groups.

Prep host
=========
Clone kolla
-----------
::
git clone https://github.com/openstack/kolla
cd kolla
set up kolla dependencies :doc:`quickstart`
Fix hosts file
--------------
Docker bind mounts ``/etc/hosts`` into the container from a volume
This prevents atomic renames which will prevent ansible from fixing
the ``/etc/hosts`` file automatically.
To enable bifrost to be bootstrapped correctly add the deployment
hosts hostname to 127.0.0.1 line for example:
::
ubuntu@bifrost:/repo/kolla$ cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 bifrost localhost
# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts
192.168.100.15 bifrost
Enable source build type
========================
Via config file
---------------
::
tox -e genconfig
Modify ``kolla-build.conf`` as follows.
Set ``install_type`` to ``source``
::
install_type = source
Command line
------------
Alternatively if you do not wish to use the ``kolla-build.conf``
you can enable a source build by appending ``-t source`` to
your ``kolla-build`` or ``tools/build.py`` command.
Build container
===============
Development
-----------
::
tools/build.py bifrost-deploy
Production
----------
::
kolla-build bifrost-deploy
Prepare Kolla-Ansible Inventory
===============================
Kolla-ansible will deploy bifrost on the hosts in the ``bifrost`` Ansible
group. In the ``all-in-one`` and ``multinode`` inventory files, a ``bifrost``
group is defined which contains all hosts in the ``deployment`` group. This
top level ``deployment`` group is intended to represent the host running the
``bifrost_deploy`` container. By default, this group contains ``localhost``.
See `edit-inventory`_ for details on how to modify the Ansible inventory in a
multinode deployment.
Bifrost does not currently support running on multiple hosts so the ``bifrost``
group should contain only a single host, however this is not enforced by
kolla-ansible. Bifrost manages a number of services that conflict with
services deployed by kolla including OpenStack Ironic, MariaDB, RabbitMQ and
(optionally) OpenStack Keystone. These services should not be deployed on the
host on which bifrost is deployed.
Prepare bifrost configs
=======================
Create servers.yml
------------------
The ``servers.yml`` will describing your physical nodes and list IPMI
credentials. See bifrost dynamic inventory examples for more details.
For example ``/etc/kolla/config/bifrost/servers.yml``
.. code-block:: yaml
---
cloud1:
uuid: "31303735-3934-4247-3830-333132535336"
driver_info:
power:
ipmi_username: "admin"
ipmi_address: "192.168.1.30"
ipmi_password: "root"
nics:
-
mac: "1c:c1:de:1c:aa:53"
-
mac: "1c:c1:de:1c:aa:52"
driver: "agent_ipmitool"
ipv4_address: "192.168.1.10"
properties:
cpu_arch: "x86_64"
ram: "24576"
disk_size: "120"
cpus: "16"
name: "cloud1"
adjust as appropriate for your deployment
Create bifrost.yml
------------------
By default kolla mostly use bifrosts default playbook values.
Parameters passed to the bifrost install playbook can be overridden by
creating a ``bifrost.yml`` file in the kolla custom config directory or in a
bifrost sub directory.
For example ``/etc/kolla/config/bifrost/bifrost.yml``
::
mysql_service_name: mysql
ansible_python_interpreter: /var/lib/kolla/venv/bin/python
network_interface: < add you network interface here >
# uncomment below if needed
# dhcp_pool_start: 192.168.2.200
# dhcp_pool_end: 192.168.2.250
# dhcp_lease_time: 12h
# dhcp_static_mask: 255.255.255.0
Create Disk Image Builder Config
--------------------------------
By default kolla mostly use bifrosts default playbook values when
building the baremetal os image. The baremetal os image can be customised
by creating a ``dib.yml`` file in the kolla custom config directory or in a
bifrost sub directory.
For example ``/etc/kolla/config/bifrost/dib.yml``
::
dib_os_element: ubuntu
Deploy Bifrost
=========================
Ansible
-------
Development
___________
::
tools/kolla-ansible deploy-bifrost
Production
__________
::
kolla-ansible deploy-bifrost
Manual
------
Start Bifrost Container
_______________________
::
docker run -it --net=host -v /dev:/dev -d --privileged --name bifrost_deploy kolla/ubuntu-source-bifrost-deploy:3.0.1
Copy configs
____________
.. code-block:: console
docker exec -it bifrost_deploy mkdir /etc/bifrost
docker cp /etc/kolla/config/bifrost/servers.yml bifrost_deploy:/etc/bifrost/servers.yml
docker cp /etc/kolla/config/bifrost/bifrost.yml bifrost_deploy:/etc/bifrost/bifrost.yml
docker cp /etc/kolla/config/bifrost/dib.yml bifrost_deploy:/etc/bifrost/dib.yml
Bootstrap bifrost
_________________
::
docker exec -it bifrost_deploy bash
Generate ssh key
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
::
ssh-keygen
Source env variables
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
::
cd /bifrost
. env-vars
. /opt/stack/ansible/hacking/env-setup
cd playbooks/
Bootstrap and start services
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
.. code-block:: console
ansible-playbook -vvvv -i /bifrost/playbooks/inventory/localhost /bifrost/playbooks/install.yaml -e @/etc/bifrost/bifrost.yml
Check ironic is running
=======================
.. code-block:: console
docker exec -it bifrost_deploy bash
cd /bifrost
. env-vars
Running "ironic node-list" should return with no nodes, for example
.. code-block:: console
(bifrost-deploy)[root@bifrost bifrost]# ironic node-list

Enroll and Deploy Physical Nodes
================================
Ansible
-------
Development
___________
::
tools/kolla-ansible deploy-servers
Production
__________
::
kolla-ansible deploy-servers
Manual
------
.. code-block:: console
docker exec -it bifrost_deploy bash
cd /bifrost
. env-vars
export BIFROST_INVENTORY_SOURCE=/etc/bifrost/servers.yml
ansible-playbook -vvvv -i inventory/bifrost_inventory.py enroll-dynamic.yaml -e "ansible_python_interpreter=/var/lib/kolla/venv/bin/python" -e network_interface=<provisioning interface>
docker exec -it bifrost_deploy bash
cd /bifrost
. env-vars
export BIFROST_INVENTORY_SOURCE=/etc/bifrost/servers.yml
ansible-playbook -vvvv -i inventory/bifrost_inventory.py deploy-dynamic.yaml -e "ansible_python_interpreter=/var/lib/kolla/venv/bin/python" -e network_interface=<prvisioning interface> -e @/etc/bifrost/dib.yml
At this point ironic should clean down your nodes and install the default
os image.
Advanced configuration
======================
Bring your own image
--------------------
TODO
Bring your own ssh key
----------------------
To use your own ssh key after you have generated the ``passwords.yml`` file
update the private and public keys under bifrost_ssh_key.
Known issues
============
SSH daemon not running
----------------------
By default sshd is installed in the image but may not be enabled.
If you encounter this issue you will have to access the server physically in
recovery mode to enable the ssh service. If your hardware supports it, this
can be done remotely with ipmitool and serial over lan. For example
.. code-block:: console
ipmitool -I lanplus -H 192.168.1.30 -U admin -P root sol activate
