### Bootstrap the host
-Optional: From PXE boostrap server in case of installing Haswell
+Convenient way to re-stage host via script:
+
+ `sudo ./bootstrap_setup_testbed.sh <linux_ip> <mgmt_ip> <username> <pass>`
+
+Optional: CIMC - From PXE boostrap server
- - `cd resources/tools/testbed-setup/cimc`
- Initialize args.ip: Power-Off, reset BIOS defaults, Enable console redir, get LOM MAC addr
- `./cimc.py -u admin -p Cisco1234 $CIMC_ADDRESS -d -i`
- Adjust BIOS settings
- `./cimc.py -u admin -p Cisco1234 $CIMC_ADDRESS -d -s '<biosVfIntelHyperThreadingTech rn="Intel-HyperThreading-Tech" vpIntelHyperThreadingTech="disabled" />' -s '<biosVfEnhancedIntelSpeedStepTech rn="Enhanced-Intel-SpeedStep-Tech" vpEnhancedIntelSpeedStepTech="disabled" />' -s '<biosVfIntelTurboBoostTech rn="Intel-Turbo-Boost-Tech" vpIntelTurboBoostTech="disabled" />'`
- - add MAC address to DHCP (/etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf)
- - Reboot server with boot from PXE (restart immediately)
- - `./cimc.py -u admin -p Cisco1234 $CIMC_ADDRESS -d -pxe`
-
-Optional: If RAID is not created on Haswells. Execute while Ubuntu install is running
-
- - create RAID array. Reboot if needed.
+ - Add MAC address to DHCP (/etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf)
+ - If RAID is not created in CIMC. Create RAID array. Reboot.
- `./cimc.py -u admin -p Cisco1234 $CIMC_ADDRESS -d --wipe`
- `./cimc.py -u admin -p Cisco1234 $CIMC_ADDRESS -d -r -rl 1 -rs <disk size> -rd '[1,2]'`
Alternatively, create the RAID array manually.
-
- - Set the next boot from HDD (without restart)
+ - Reboot server with boot from PXE (restart immediately)
+ - `./cimc.py -u admin -p Cisco1234 $CIMC_ADDRESS -d -pxe`
+ - Set the next boot from HDD (without restart) Execute while Ubuntu install is running.
- `./cimc.py -u admin -p Cisco1234 $CIMC_ADDRESS -d -hdd`
-Optional: If installing Skylake machine, connect to IPMI and boot from PXE via F12
+Optional: IPMI - From PXE boostrap server
+
+ - Get MAC address of LAN0
+ - `ipmitool -U ADMIN -H $HOST_ADDRESS raw 0x30 0x21 | tail -c 18`
+ - Add MAC address to DHCP (/etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf)
+ - Reboot into PXE for next boot only
+ - `ipmitool -I lanplus -H $HOST_ADDRESS -U ADMIN chassis bootdev pxe`
+ - `ipmitool -I lanplus -H $HOST_ADDRESS -U ADMIN power reset`
+ - For live watching SOL (Serial-over-LAN console)
+ - `ipmitool -I lanplus -H $HOST_ADDRESS -U ADMIN sol activate`
+ - `ipmitool -I lanplus -H $HOST_ADDRESS -U ADMIN sol deactivate`
When installation is finished:
- Copy ssh keys for no pass access: `ssh-copy-id 10.30.51.x`
- Clone CSIT actual repo: `git clone https://gerrit.fd.io/r/csit`
- Go to ansible directory: `cd csit/resources/tools/testbed-setup/ansible`
- - Edit production file and uncomment servers that are supposed to be installed: `ansible-playbook --ask-become-pass --inventory production site.yaml --list-hosts`
- - Run ansible on selected hosts: `ansible-playbook --ask-become-pass --inventory production site.yaml`
+ - Edit production file and uncomment servers that are supposed to be
+ installed.
+ - Run ansible on selected hosts:
+ `ansible-playbook --vault-id vault_pass --extra-vars '@vault.yml' --inventory production site.yaml`
For non-VIRL hosts, stop here.
`ansible-playbook 04-disk-image.yaml`
-The VIRL host should now be operational. Test, and when ready, create a ~jenkins-in/status file with the appropriate status.
