Chapter 5. ironic


The following chapter contains information about the configuration options in the ironic service.

5.1. ironic.conf

This section contains options for the /etc/ironic/ironic.conf file.

5.1.1. DEFAULT

The following table outlines the options available under the [DEFAULT] group in the /etc/ironic/ironic.conf file.

.

Configuration option = Default valueTypeDescription

auth_strategy = keystone

string value

Authentication strategy used by ironic-api. "noauth" should not be used in a production environment because all authentication will be disabled.

backdoor_port = None

string value

Enable eventlet backdoor. Acceptable values are 0, <port>, and <start>:<end>, where 0 results in listening on a random tcp port number; <port> results in listening on the specified port number (and not enabling backdoor if that port is in use); and <start>:<end> results in listening on the smallest unused port number within the specified range of port numbers. The chosen port is displayed in the service’s log file.

backdoor_socket = None

string value

Enable eventlet backdoor, using the provided path as a unix socket that can receive connections. This option is mutually exclusive with backdoor_port in that only one should be provided.

hash_partition_exponent = 5

integer value

Exponent to determine number of hash partitions to use when distributing load across conductors. Larger values will result in more even distribution of load and less load when rebalancing the ring, but more memory usage. Number of partitions per conductor is (2^hash_partition_exponent). This determines the granularity of rebalancing: given 10 hosts, and an exponent of the 2, there are 40 partitions in the ring.A few thousand partitions should make rebalancing smooth in most cases. The default is suitable for up to a few hundred conductors. Configuring for too many partitions has a negative impact on CPU usage.

hash_ring_algorithm = md5

string value

Hash function to use when building the hash ring. If running on a FIPS system, do not use md5. WARNING: all ironic services in a cluster MUST use the same algorithm at all times. Changing the algorithm requires an offline update.

Setting this option downgrades (or pins) the Bare Metal API, the internal ironic RPC communication, and the database objects to their respective versions, so they are compatible with older services. When doing a rolling upgrade from version N to version N+1, set (to pin) this to N. To unpin (default), leave it unset and the latest versions will be used.

rbac_service_project_name = service

string value

The project name utilized for Role Based Access Control checks for the reserved service project. This project is utilized for services to have accounts for cross-service communication. Often these accounts require higher levels of access, and effectively this permits accounts from the service to not be restricted to project scoping of responses. i.e. The service project user with a service role will be able to see nodes across all projects, similar to System scoped access. If not set to a value, and all service role access will be filtered matching an owner or lessee, if applicable. If an operator wishes to make behavior visible for all service role users across all projects, then a custom policy must be used to override the default "service_role" rule. It should be noted that the value of "service" is a default convention for OpenStack deployments, but the requsite access and details around end configuration are largely up to an operator if they are doing an OpenStack deployment manually.

rbac_service_role_elevated_access = False

boolean value

Enable elevated access for users with service role belonging to the rbac_service_project_name project when using default policy. The default setting of disabled causes all service role requests to be scoped to the project the service account belongs to.

list value

Specifies the topics for the versioned notifications issued by Ironic.

The default value is fine for most deployments and rarely needs to be changed. However, if you have a third-party service that consumes versioned notifications, it might be worth getting a topic for that service. Ironic will send a message containing a versioned notification payload to each topic queue in this list.

The list of versioned notifications is visible in https://docs.openstack.org/ironic/latest/admin/notifications.html

watch-log-file = False

boolean value

Uses logging handler designed to watch file system. When log file is moved or removed this handler will open a new log file with specified path instantaneously. It makes sense only if log_file option is specified and Linux platform is used. This option is ignored if log_config_append is set.

webserver_verify_ca = True

string value

This can be either a Boolean value or a path to a CA_BUNDLE file.If set to True, the certificates present in the standard path are used to verify the host certificates.If set to False, the conductor will ignore verifying the SSL certificate presented by the host.If it"s a path, conductor uses the specified certificate for SSL verification. If the path does not exist, the behavior is same as when this value is set to True i.e the certificates present in the standard path are used for SSL verification.Defaults to True.

It is available as of RabbitMQ 3.8.0. If set this option will conflict with the HA queues (rabbit_ha_queues) aka mirrored queues, in other words the HA queues should be disabled, quorum queues durable by default so the amqp_durable_queues opion is ignored when this option enabled.

Both "enabled" flag and "hmac_keys" config options should be set to enable profiling. Also, to generate correct profiling information across all services at least one key needs to be consistent between OpenStack projects. This ensures it can be used from client side to generate the trace, containing information from all possible resources.
