Synchronize setup and deployment for the Director.

Recently, we focused on writing automated validations that require little human setup or interference. These are driven by Ansible we plan to provide an API that will let us use these from the TripleO web UI and command line clients.

For now, you need to run them manually. All the validations live in the ansible-tests/validations directory.

To run a validation you need to:

$ git clone https://github.com/rthallisey/clapper.git
$ source ~/stackrc
$ cd clapper/ansible-tests
$ ls validations  # pick a validation to run
$ ansible-playbook -v -i tripleo-ansible-inventory.py validations/some_validation.yaml

NOTE: some validations only produce useful output when run with a higher verbosity (the -v switch). You should check it even when the validations are passing.

When we integrate with TripleO via an API, these results will be reported in a more visible manner (e.g. show up as warnings).

Submit an issue or a pull request to this repository. Alternatively, you can email tsedovic@redhat.com.

When writing a validation, check out our Writing Validations guide.

After executing the below command, you can start validation.

openstack baremetal import --json instackenv.json

The script checks the json file for missing passwords and usernames, it also checks that the MAC addresses contained within the file are unique. Lastly, it tests connections to bare metal nodes and confirm they are accessible.

The only argument for instackenv-vaidator.py is -f to input a json file. By default this will search for instackenv.json.

In order to use the IPMI access checking feature, you’ll need to run the following command to install ipmitool on the undercloud node:

sudo yum -y install ipmitool

./instackenv-validation.py

The network-validation.py script takes the network-environment.yaml file which will be used to launch the overcloud as its input and checks for several things:

• Subnets do not overlap
• Allocation Pools should be part of the appropriate subnet
• VLAN IDs are unique per network

./network-validation.py

After deploying the overcloud, it is possible to check the controller's settings against current best practices for several configuration file by executing the check_overcloud_controller_settings.py script on it. For example, if your overcloud controller node has IP address 192.0.2.10:

ssh heat-admin@192.0.2.10 'python' < ./check_overcloud_controller_settings.py

• Update the hosts as per guidelines
• Rename validations/files/env_vars.json.sample to validations/files/env_vars.json
• Update the configuration to reflect the environment specific values
• Run the validation

mv validations/files/env_vars.json.sample validations/files/env_vars.json
vi validations/files/env_vars.json  #update the configuration
ansible-playbook -v -i hosts validations/discovery_diff.yaml
