1. Log in to the undercloud as the stack user.

2. Create an Ansible playbook named playbook-nics.yaml and copy the following content into the playbook:

   Note

   You will use this playbook to rename the overcloud NICs at a later stage in the upgrade process.

3. Run the playbook-nics.yaml playbook on the undercloud:

   $ ansible-playbook -c local -i localhost, playbook-nics.yaml

   The playbook sets the new NIC prefix to em. To set a different NIC prefix, set the prefix variable when running the playbook:

   $ ansible-playbook -c local -i localhost, -e prefix="mynic" ~/playbook-nics.yaml

   The NIC changes are only applied after the Leapp upgrade process completes and the node is rebooted.

Procedure

1. Log in to the undercloud as the stack user.

2. Check the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file for the PermitRootLogin parameter:

   $ sudo grep PermitRootLogin /etc/ssh/sshd_config

3. If the parameter is not in the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file, edit the file and set the PermitRootLogin parameter:

   PermitRootLogin no

4. Save the file.

Procedure

1. Check the current list of hardware types enabled:

   $ source ~/stackrc
   $ openstack baremetal driver list --type dynamic

2. If you use a hardware type driver that is not enabled, enable the driver using the enabled_hardware_types parameter in the undercloud.conf file:

   enabled_hardware_types = ipmi,redfish,idrac

3. Save the file and refresh the undercloud:

   $ openstack undercloud install

4. Run the following commands, substituting the OLDDRIVER and NEWDRIVER variables for your power management type:

   $ source ~/stackrc
   $ OLDDRIVER="pxe_ipmitool"
   $ NEWDRIVER="ipmi"
   $ for NODE in $(openstack baremetal node list --driver $OLDDRIVER -c UUID -f value) ; do openstack baremetal node set $NODE --driver $NEWDRIVER; done
