AdditionalArchitectures

List of additional architectures to enable.

ApacheTimeout

The timeout in seconds for Apache, which defines duration Apache waits for I/O operations. The default value is 90.

CertificateKeySize

Specifies the private key size used when creating the certificate. The default value is 2048.

EnableSQLAlchemyCollectd

Set to true to enable the SQLAlchemy-collectd server plugin. The default value is false.

IPAImageURLs

IPA image URLs, the format should be ["http://path/to/kernel", "http://path/to/ramdisk"].

IronicAutomatedClean

Enables or disables automated cleaning. Disabling automated cleaning might result in security problems and deployment failures on rebuilds. Do not set to False unless you understand the consequences of disabling this feature. The default value is true.

IronicCleaningDiskErase

Type of disk cleaning before and between deployments. full for full cleaning. metadata to clean only disk metadata (partition table). The default value is full.

IronicCleaningNetwork

Name or UUID of the overcloud network used for cleaning bare metal nodes. Set to provisioning during the initial deployment (when no networks are created yet) and change to an actual UUID in a post-deployment stack update. The default value is provisioning.

IronicConductorGroup

IronicConfigureSwiftTempUrlKey

Whether to configure Swift temporary URLs for use with the "direct" and "ansible" deploy interfaces. The default value is true.

IronicCorsAllowedOrigin

Indicate whether this resource may be shared with the domain received in the request "origin" header.

IronicDefaultBootInterface

Boot interface implementation to use by default. Leave empty to set none. This may not work if a hardware type does not support the set boot interface. This overrides create-time defaults. The ordered union of the enabled boot interfaces and hardware type determines, under normal circumstances, what the default will be.

IronicDefaultBootMode

Default boot mode to use when no boot mode is explicitly requested in node’s driver_info, capabilities or in the "instance_info" configuration. One of bios or uefi. The default value is uefi.

IronicDefaultBootOption

How to boot the bare metal instances. Set to local to use local bootloader (requires grub2 for partition images). Set to netboot to make the instances boot from controllers using PXE/iPXE. The default value is local.

IronicDefaultDeployInterface

Deploy interface implementation to use by default. Leave empty to use the hardware type default.

IronicDefaultInspectInterface

Inspect interface implementation to use by default. Leave empty to use the hardware type default.

IronicDefaultNetworkInterface

Network interface implementation to use by default. Set to flat to use one flat provider network. Set to neutron to make OpenStack Bare Metal (ironic) interact with the OpenStack Networking (neutron) ML2 driver to enable other network types and certain advanced networking features. Requires IronicProvisioningNetwork to be correctly set. The default value is flat.

IronicDefaultRescueInterface

Default rescue implementation to use. The "agent" rescue requires a compatible ramdisk to be used. The default value is agent.

IronicDefaultResourceClass

Default resource class to use for new nodes.

IronicDeployLogsStorageBackend

Backend to use to store ramdisk logs, either "local" or "swift". The default value is local.

IronicDhcpv6StatefulAddressCount

Number of IPv6 addresses to allocate for ports created for provisioning, cleaning, rescue or inspection on DHCPv6-stateful networks. Different stages of the chain-loading process will request addresses with different CLID/IAID. Due to non- identical identifiers multiple addresses must be reserved for the host to ensure each step of the boot process can successfully lease addresses. The default value is 4.

IronicEnabledRaidInterfaces

Enabled RAID interface implementations. Each hardware type must have at least one valid implementation enabled. The default value is ['no-raid', 'agent'].

IronicEnabledRescueInterfaces

Enabled rescue interface implementations. Each hardware type must have at least one valid implementation enabled. The default value is ['no-rescue', 'agent'].

IronicEnabledStorageInterfaces

Enabled storage interface implementations. Each hardware type must have at least one valid implementation enabled. The default value is ['cinder', 'noop'].

IronicEnabledVendorInterfaces

Enabled vendor interface implementations. Each hardware type must have at least one valid implementation enabled. The default value is ['ipmitool', 'no-vendor'].

IronicEnableStagingDrivers

Whether to enable use of staging drivers. The default value is false.

IronicForcePowerStateDuringSync

Whether to force power state during sync. The default value is true.

IronicImageDownloadSource

Image delivery method for the "direct" deploy interface. Use "swift" for the Object Storage temporary URLs, use "http" for the local HTTP server (the same as for iPXE). The default value is http.

IronicInspectorCollectors

Comma-separated list of IPA inspection collectors. The default value is default,logs.

IronicInspectorDiscoveryDefaultDriver

IronicInspectorInterface

Network interface on which inspection dnsmasq will listen. The default value is br-ex.

IronicInspectorIpRange

Temporary IP range that will be given to nodes during the inspection process. This should not overlap with any range that OpenStack Networking (neutron) DHCP allocates, but it has to be routeable back to ironic-inspector. This option has no meaningful defaults, and thus is required.

IronicInspectorIPXEEnabled

Whether to use iPXE for inspection. The default value is true.

IronicInspectorKernelArgs

Kernel args for the OpenStack Bare Metal (ironic) inspector. The default value is ipa-inspection-dhcp-all-interfaces=1 ipa-collect-lldp=1 ipa-debug=1.

IronicInspectorStorageBackend

Storage backend for storing introspection data. The default value is none.

IronicInspectorSubnets

Temporary IP ranges that will be given to nodes during the inspection process. These ranges should not overlap with any range that OpenStack Networking (neutron) DHCP provides, but they need to be routeable back to the ironic-inspector API. This option has no meaningful defaults and is required.

IronicPowerStateChangeTimeout

Number of seconds to wait for power operations to complete, i.e., so that a baremetal node is in the desired power state. If timed out, the power operation is considered a failure. The default value is 60.

IronicProvisioningNetwork

Name or UUID of the overcloud network used for provisioning of bare metal nodes if IronicDefaultNetworkInterface is set to neutron. Set to provisioning during the initial deployment (when no networks are created yet) and change to an actual UUID in a post-deployment stack update. The default value is provisioning.

IronicRescuingNetwork

Name or UUID of the overcloud network used for rescuing of bare metal nodes, if IronicDefaultRescueInterface is not set to "no-rescue". The default value of "provisioning" can be left during the initial deployment (when no networks are created yet) and should be changed to an actual UUID in a post-deployment stack update. The default value is provisioning.
