Chapter 3. Restoring images for overcloud nodes


The director requires the latest disk images for provisioning new overcloud nodes. Follow this procedure to restore these images.

Procedure

  1. Source the stackrc file to enable the director’s command line tools:

    [stack@director ~]$ source ~/stackrc
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
  2. Install the rhosp-director-images and rhosp-director-images-ipa packages:

    (undercloud) [stack@director ~]$ sudo dnf install rhosp-director-images rhosp-director-images-ipa
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
  3. Extract the images archives to the images directory in the stack user’s home (/home/stack/images):

    (undercloud) [stack@director ~]$ cd ~/images
    (undercloud) [stack@director images]$ for i in /usr/share/rhosp-director-images/overcloud-full-latest-15.0.tar /usr/share/rhosp-director-images/ironic-python-agent-latest-15.0.tar; do tar -xvf $i; done
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
  4. Import these images into the director:

    (undercloud) [stack@director images]$ cd ~/images
    (undercloud) [stack@director images]$ openstack overcloud image upload --image-path /home/stack/images/
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
  5. Configure nodes in your environment to use the new images:

    (undercloud) [stack@director images]$ for NODE in $(openstack baremetal node list -c UUID -f value) ; do openstack overcloud node configure $NODE ; done
