Aah that’s an interesting idea, using the wake-on-lan technology to solve the problem of how to power on the server without IPMI.
So how does the solution solve the power-off and reset functions ? i.e. · is the deployment image (with IPA) deployed on the ironic node as soon as it is enrolled ? i.e. in order to manage these operations ? ( as well as configure the wake-on-lan hardware ? ) Greg.

There are staging drivers [1] and there is virtualbmc [2] to emulate ipmi for virtual machines. I ended up using pxe_wol_isci driver.

Thanks to help from the mailing list, we’ve been able to successfully ‘nova boot’ a bare metal instance on an ironic node using the pxe_ipmitool drivers. Thanks again for all the help. A QUESTION about some future work we are starting to look at. We are interested in using Ironic to boot smaller devices that do NOT support IPMI. I believe that there are other drivers such as pxe_ssh for managing resets and power on/off of such servers. But i don’t understand how these work at a high-level. e.g. - where do the pxe_ssh drivers SSH to ? > for reset, i suppose it could be the ironic node itself (if it’s actually running a load, like the deployment image) > but for power on/off ... it can’t be the ironic node itself Can somebody provide or point me to a brief explanation of how Ironic can be used for serving loads to devices NOT supporting IPMI ? thanks in advance, Greg __________________________________________________________________________ OpenStack Development Mailing List (not for usage questions) Unsubscribe: [email protected]?subject:unsubscribe<http://[email protected]?subject:unsubscribe> http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
