Hi everybody. I was wondering if is possible to customize node discovery. Was genesis made with customization in mind?
Currently I'm using virtual machines to test things, but I can't get node discovery to work with it. From a production point of view it make sense since mgt node can contact kvm host and grab VM information without booting it. But I want to use this as a testing environment to mock a real cluster. There are a lot of commands that works transparently with real clusters or VMs. This make testing stuff so easy. Sadly this is not the case for nodediscover commands. The genesis image tries to configure IPMI, which is obviously not present in VMs. I was able to emulate IPMI with OpenIPMI and qemu so that node discovery completes. But I couldn't get IPMI commands working. The OpenIPMI documentation is really scarce, and I had to use long command line options that I haven't a clue about how they work. If I could change the script that runs on genesis I would be able to bypass IPMI setup and use discovery with VMs for testing purposes.
