ironic-discoverd [1] is a StackForge project for conducting hardware properties
|
|
|
|
|
discovery via booting a special discovery ramdisk and interrogating hardware
|
|
|
|
|
from within it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This ramdisk collects hardware information from the machine
|
|
|
|
|
it's booted on and posts it to the URL provided via
|
|
|
|
|
kernel argument 'discoverd_callback_url'.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The hardware information collected by the ramdisk are:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* BMC IP address (may be required for associating with existing node in Ironic)
|
|
|
|
|
* CPU count and architecture
|
|
|
|
|
* Memory amount in MiB
|
|
|
|
|
* Hard drive size in GiB
|
|
|
|
|
* IP and mac addresses for all NICs except the loopback
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The machine is halted at the end of the process.
