==============================
Install Ironic on StarlingX r9
==============================

.. include:: /_includes/ironic.rest

.. include:: /_includes/ironic_hardware.rest

This section describes the steps to install Ironic on a standard configuration,
either:

* **StarlingX R9.0 bare metal Standard with Controller Storage** deployment
  configuration

* **StarlingX R9.0 bare metal Standard with Dedicated Storage** deployment
  configuration

Enable Ironic service
---------------------

This section describes the pre-configuration required to enable the Ironic service.
All the commands in this section are for the StarlingX platform.

First acquire administrative privileges:

::

   source /etc/platform/openrc

********************************
Download Ironic deployment image
********************************

The Ironic service requires a deployment image (kernel and ramdisk) which is
used to clean Ironic nodes and install the end-user's image. The cleaning done
by the deployment image wipes the disks and tests connectivity to the Ironic
conductor on the controller nodes via the Ironic Python Agent (IPA).

The latest Ironic deployment image (**Ironic-kernel** and **Ironic-ramdisk**)
can be found here:

* `Ironic-kernel ipa-centos8-master.kernel
  <https://tarballs.openstack.org/ironic-python-agent-builder/dib/files/ipa-centos8-master.kernel>`__
* `Ironic-ramdisk ipa-centos8.initramfs
  <https://tarballs.openstack.org/ironic-python-agent-builder/dib/files/ipa-centos8-master.initramfs>`__


*******************************************************
Configure Ironic network on deployed standard StarlingX
*******************************************************

#. Add an address pool for the Ironic network. This example uses `ironic-pool`:

   ::

      system addrpool-add --ranges 10.10.20.1-10.10.20.100 ironic-pool 10.10.20.0 24

#. Add the Ironic platform network. This example uses `ironic-net`:

   ::

      system addrpool-list | grep ironic-pool | awk '{print$2}' | xargs system network-add ironic-net ironic false

#. Add the Ironic tenant network. This example uses `ironic-data`:

   .. note::

      The tenant network is not the same as the platform network described in
      the previous step. You can specify any name for the tenant network other
      than ‘ironic’. If the name 'ironic' is used, a user override must be
      generated to indicate the tenant network name.

      Refer to section `Generate user Helm overrides`_ for details.

   ::

      system datanetwork-add ironic-data flat

#. Configure the new interfaces (for Ironic) on controller nodes and assign
   them to the platform network. Host must be locked. This example uses the
   platform network `ironic-net` that was named in a previous step.

   These new interfaces to the controllers are used to connect to the Ironic
   provisioning network:

   **controller-0**

   ::

      system interface-network-assign controller-0 enp2s0 ironic-net
      system host-if-modify -n ironic -c platform \
      --ipv4-mode static --ipv4-pool ironic-pool controller-0 enp2s0

      # Apply the OpenStack Ironic node labels
      system host-label-assign controller-0 openstack-ironic=enabled

      # Unlock the node to apply changes
      system host-unlock controller-0


   **controller-1**

   ::

      system interface-network-assign controller-1 enp2s0 ironic-net
      system host-if-modify -n ironic -c platform \
      --ipv4-mode static --ipv4-pool ironic-pool controller-1 enp2s0

      # Apply the OpenStack Ironic node labels
      system host-label-assign controller-1 openstack-ironic=enabled

      # Unlock the node to apply changes
      system host-unlock controller-1

#. Configure the new interface (for Ironic) on one of the compute-labeled worker
   nodes and assign it to the Ironic data network. This example uses the data
   network `ironic-data` that was named in a previous step.

   ::

      system interface-datanetwork-assign worker-0 eno1 ironic-data
      system host-if-modify -n ironicdata -c data worker-0 eno1

****************************
Generate user Helm overrides
****************************

Ironic Helm Charts are included in the |prefix|-openstack application. By
default, Ironic is disabled.

To enable Ironic, update the following Ironic Helm Chart attributes:

.. parsed-literal::

      system helm-override-update |prefix|-openstack ironic openstack \
      --set network.pxe.neutron_subnet_alloc_start=10.10.20.10 \
      --set network.pxe.neutron_subnet_gateway=10.10.20.1 \
      --set network.pxe.neutron_provider_network=ironic-data

:command:`network.pxe.neutron_subnet_alloc_start` sets the |DHCP| start IP to
Neutron for Ironic node provision, and reserves several IPs for the platform.

If the data network name for Ironic is changed, modify
:command:`network.pxe.neutron_provider_network` to the command above:

::

   --set network.pxe.neutron_provider_network=ironic-data

***************************
Apply OpenStack application
***************************

Re-apply the |prefix|-openstack application to apply the changes to Ironic:

.. parsed-literal::

      system helm-chart-attribute-modify |prefix|-openstack ironic openstack \
      --enabled true

      system application-apply |prefix|-openstack

--------------------
Start an Ironic node

All the commands in this section are for the OpenStack application with
administrative privileges.
