B.6. Fake PXE Driver

Additional Notes

• This driver does not use any authentication details because it does not control power management.
• Edit the /etc/ironic/ironic.conf file and add fake_pxe to the enabled_drivers option to enable this driver. Restart the baremetal services after editing the file:

  $ sudo systemctl restart openstack-ironic-api openstack-ironic-conductor

• When performing introspection on nodes, manually power the nodes after running the openstack baremetal introspection bulk start command.
• When performing Overcloud deployment, check the node status with the ironic node-list command. Wait until the node status changes from deploying to deploy wait-callback and then manually power the nodes.
• After the Overcloud provisioning process completes, reboot the nodes. To check the completion of provisioning, check the node status with the ironic node-list command, wait until the node status changes to active, then manually reboot all Overcloud nodes.
