is available on the PXE bootstrap server in ~testuser/host-setup.
-### Prepare the PXE bootstrap server (one-time)
+### Prepare the PXE bootstrap server when there is no http server AMD64
- `sudo apt-get install isc-dhcp-server tftpd-hpa nginx-light ansible`
+ - edit dhcpd.conf and place it to /etc/dhcp/
+ - `sudo cp dhcpd.cfg /etc/dhcp/`

+ responding to HTTP requests. The configuration is in one of the
+ files in /etc/nginx/conf.d/, /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/ or in
+ /etc/nginx/nginx.conf under section server/root. Save the path to WWW_ROOT

- - edit ks.cfg and replace IP address with that of your PXE bootstrap server
- - `sudo cp ks.cfg /usr/share/nginx/html/ks.cfg`

- `sudo cp syslinux.cfg /var/lib/tftpboot/ubuntu-installer/amd64/boot-screens/syslinux.cfg`
- set CIMC address
- set CIMC username, password and hostname
+- set IPMI address

### Bootstrap the host
-From PXE boostrap server:
+Optional: From PXE boostrap server in case of installing Haswell
- - `cd ~testuser/host-setup/cimc`
+ - `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
+ - 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`
-While Ubuntu install is running:
+Optional: If RAID is not created on Haswells. Execute while Ubuntu install is running
- create RAID array. Reboot if needed.
- `./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)
- `./cimc.py -u admin -p Cisco1234 $CIMC_ADDRESS -d -hdd`
-When installation is finished:
-
- - `ssh-copy-id <>`
- - `cd ~testuser/host-setup/playbooks`
- - edit /etc/ansible/hosts; add the hosts you are installing. *REMOVE ANY HOSTS YOU ARE NOT CURRENTLY INSTALLING*.
-
- Example for physical testbed hosts:
- ~~~
- [tg]
- 10.30.51.16 hostname=t1-tg1
+Optional: If installing Skylake machine
- [sut]
- 10.30.51.17 hostname=t1-sut1
- 10.30.51.18 hostname=t1-sut2
- ~~~
+ - Get MAC address of LAN0
+ - `ipmitool -U ADMIN -H $HOST_ADDRESS raw 0x30 0x21 | tail -c 18`
+ - Reboot into PXE for next boot only
+ - `ipmitool -I lanplus -H $HOST_ADDRESS -U ADMIN chassis bootdev pxe`
- Example for VIRL hosts -- use the "virl" tag and specify the flat network start and end addresses:
- ~~~
- [virl]
- 10.30.51.28 hostname=t4-virl1 virl_l2_start=10.30.51.31 virl_l2_end=10.30.51.105
- ~~~
+When installation is finished:
- - `ansible-playbook --ask-sudo-pass 01-host-setup.yaml`
- - `ansible-playbook reboot.yaml`
+ - 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`
For non-VIRL hosts, stop here.
