Chapter 7. Troubleshooting the Bare Metal Provisioning service


Use the following procedures to diagnose issues in a red Hat OpenStack on OpenShift (RHOSO) environment that includes the Bare Metal Provisioning service (ironic).

7.1. Querying node event history records

You can query the node event history records to identify issues with bare-metal nodes when an operation fails.

Procedure

  1. Open a remote shell connection to the OpenStackClient pod:

    $ oc rsh -n openstack openstackclient
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
  2. View the event history for a particular node:

    $ openstack baremetal node history list <node_id>
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

    This command returns a list of the error events and node state transitions that occurred on the node. Each event is identified with an event UUID.

  3. View the details of a particular event that occurred on the node:

    $ openstack baremetal node history get <node_id> <event_uuid>
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
  4. Exit the openstackclient pod:

    $ exit
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
