Chapter 5. Configuring Basic Overcloud Requirements
This chapter provides the basic configuration steps for an enterprise-level OpenStack Platform environment. An Overcloud with a basic onfiguration contains no custom features. However, you can add advanced configuration options to this basic Overcloud and customize it to your specifications using the instructions in Chapter 6, Configuring Advanced Customizations for the Overcloud.
For the examples in this chapter, all nodes in this chapter are bare metal systems using IPMI for power management. For more supported power management types and their options, see Appendix B, Power Management Drivers.
Workflow
- Create a node definition template and register blank nodes in the director.
- Inspect hardware of all nodes.
- Tag nodes into roles.
- Define additional node properties.
Requirements
- The director node created in Chapter 4, Installing the Undercloud
- A set of bare metal machines for your nodes. The number of node required depends on the type of Overcloud you intend to create (see Section 3.1, “Planning Node Deployment Roles” for information on Overcloud roles). These machines also must comply with the requirements set for each node type. For these requirements, see Section 2.4, “Overcloud Requirements”. These nodes do not require an operating system. The director copies a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 image to each node.
- One network connection for our Provisioning network, which is configured as a native VLAN. All nodes must connect to this network and comply with the requirements set in Section 2.3, “Networking Requirements”. For the examples in this chapter, we use 192.0.2.0/24 as the Provisioning subnet with the following IP address assignments:

However, you can create additional networks for other network traffic types. For more information, see Section 6.2, “Isolating Networks”.
5.1. Registering Nodes for the Overcloud
The director requires a node definition template. This file (
instackenv.json) uses the JSON format file, and contains the hardware and power management details for your nodes.
This template uses the following attributes:
- pm_type
- The power management driver to use. This example uses the IPMI driver (
pxe_ipmitool). - pm_user, pm_password
- The IPMI username and password.
- pm_addr
- The IP address of the IPMI device.
- mac
- (Optional) A list of MAC addresses for the network interfaces on the node. Use only the MAC address for the Provisioning NIC of each system.
- cpu
- (Optional) The number of CPUs on the node.
- memory
- (Optional) The amount of memory in MB.
- disk
- (Optional) The size of the hard disk in GB.
- arch
- (Optional) The system architecture.
For example, a template for registering two nodes might look like this:
{
"nodes":[
{
"mac":[
"bb:bb:bb:bb:bb:bb"
],
"cpu":"4",
"memory":"6144",
"disk":"40",
"arch":"x86_64",
"pm_type":"pxe_ipmitool",
"pm_user":"admin",
"pm_password":"p@55w0rd!",
"pm_addr":"192.0.2.205"
},
{
"mac":[
"cc:cc:cc:cc:cc:cc"
],
"cpu":"4",
"memory":"6144",
"disk":"40",
"arch":"x86_64",
"pm_type":"pxe_ipmitool",
"pm_user":"admin",
"pm_password":"p@55w0rd!",
"pm_addr":"192.0.2.206"
}
]
}
Note
For more supported power management types and their options, see Appendix B, Power Management Drivers.
After creating the template, save the file to the
stack user's home directory (/home/stack/instackenv.json), then import it into the director using the following command:
$ openstack baremetal import --json ~/instackenv.json
This imports the template and registers each node from the template into the director.
Assign the kernel and ramdisk images to all nodes:
$ openstack baremetal configure boot
The nodes are now registered and configured in the director. View a list of these nodes in the CLI :
$ ironic node-list
