Hi Stackers, First of all: I am not a TripleO/baremetal expert.
I am looking at ways how to fit Type 1 hypervisors to TripleO. I am not sure how other such hypervisors integrate with OS, but in my case - XenServer - ,I have a VM that runs nova - let's call it domU - , and that's talking to the hypervisor. When it comes to deployment, I see two tasks: - Being able to install the hypervisor from an image For this, the hypervisor has to be able to behave like a good cloud guest. - How to put a VM on top of that hypervisor We can't provision the VM with the hypervisor's nova driver, as the domU is not yet installed, so let's fake that the domU is a physical entity. The idea is that once the hypervisor is installed, we would treat it as a "baremetal pool", so that we can install the domU - as if it were a baremetal node. The sequence would look like this: 1.) install seed VM 2.) seed VM is talking to Bare Metal, provisioning a machine 3.) seed VM installs an image that contains the hypervisor 4.) seed VM can use that hypervisor as if it were a baremetal "Rack" - We would have a hypervisor-baremetal interface that would provide an IPMI interface. 5.) seed VM can install a nova image on domU 6.) Life goes on... This is a really rough workflow, and I am really interested in what you guys think about it.
