Re: [openstack-dev] [Fuel][QA] What is the preferred way to bootstrap a baremetal node with Fuel on product CI?

Thanks to all for answers! We will leave Fuel master node on a VM for our testing until some specific cases will require it on a baremetal. Ironic looks like a good tool for PXE provisioning and manage other baremetal slaves via IPMI, we will investigate how it could be used in our testing tools

Re: [openstack-dev] [Fuel][QA] What is the preferred way to bootstrap a baremetal node with Fuel on product CI?

Folks I think the easiest and the best option here is to boot iPXE or pxelinux with NFS and put master node image onto an NFS mount. This one should work seamlessly. On Wed, Feb 10, 2016 at 1:36 AM, Andrew Woodward wrote: > Unless we hope to gain some insight and

Hi all! To run system tests on CI on a daily basis using baremetal servers instead of VMs, Fuel admin node also should be bootstrapped. There is no a simple way to mount an ISO with Fuel as a CDROM or USB device to a baremetal server, so we choose the provisioning with PXE. It could be done in

Re: [openstack-dev] [Fuel][QA] What is the preferred way to bootstrap a baremetal node with Fuel on product CI?

Unless we hope to gain some insight and specific testing by installing the ISO on a bare-metal node (like UEFI), I'd propose that we stop testing things that are well tested elsewhere (a given ISO produces a working fuel master) and just focus on what we want to test in this environment. Along

Hi, Ironic also supports running it as standalone service, w/o Keystone/Glance/Neutron/Nova etc integration, deploying images from HTTP links. Could that be an option too? BTW, there is already an official project under OpenStack Baremetal program called Bifrost [0] that, quoting, "automates the
