The Bare Metal service stores information in a database. This guide uses the MySQL database that is used by other OpenStack services.
Configure the location of the database via the connection
option. In the
following, replace IRONIC_DBPASSWORD
with the password of your
ironic
user, and replace DB_IP
with the IP address where the DB
server is located:
[database]
# The SQLAlchemy connection string used to connect to the
# database (string value)
connection=mysql+pymysql://ironic:IRONIC_DBPASSWORD@DB_IP/ironic?charset=utf8
Configure the ironic-api service to use the RabbitMQ message broker by
setting the following option. Replace RPC_*
with appropriate
address details and credentials of RabbitMQ server:
[DEFAULT]
# A URL representing the messaging driver to use and its full
# configuration. (string value)
transport_url = rabbit://RPC_USER:RPC_PASSWORD@RPC_HOST:RPC_PORT/
Configure the ironic-api service to use these credentials with the Identity
service. Replace PUBLIC_IDENTITY_IP
with the public IP of the Identity
server, PRIVATE_IDENTITY_IP
with the private IP of the Identity server
and replace IRONIC_PASSWORD
with the password you chose for the
ironic
user in the Identity service:
[DEFAULT]
# Authentication strategy used by ironic-api: one of
# "keystone" or "noauth". "noauth" should not be used in a
# production environment because all authentication will be
# disabled. (string value)
auth_strategy=keystone
[keystone_authtoken]
# Authentication type to load (string value)
auth_type=password
# Complete public Identity API endpoint (string value)
auth_uri=http://PUBLIC_IDENTITY_IP:5000
# Complete admin Identity API endpoint. (string value)
auth_url=http://PRIVATE_IDENTITY_IP:35357
# Service username. (string value)
username=ironic
# Service account password. (string value)
password=IRONIC_PASSWORD
# Service tenant name. (string value)
project_name=service
# Domain name containing project (string value)
project_domain_name=Default
# User's domain name (string value)
user_domain_name=Default
Create the Bare Metal service database tables:
$ ironic-dbsync --config-file /etc/ironic/ironic.conf create_schema
Restart the ironic-api service:
Fedora/RHEL7/CentOS7/SUSE:
sudo systemctl restart openstack-ironic-api
Ubuntu:
sudo service ironic-api restart
