qe-jenkins-baremetal

Bare Metal Environment(BME)

Currently implemented in Cloud5. This is a 22 node environment which uses bare metal servers for deploy of OpenStack via OpenStack-Ansible.

Access

This does require a VPN with user/pass. In order to ease access concerns, this environment can be accessed through the bme-jenkins-slave-n01 via the jumpbox.

VPN - f5fpc

This command line client is used to enable/disable a VPN to the Cloud5 environment.

• View connection status
  • f5fpc --info
• Connect to VPN on Cloud5 env variables are set on login for ubuntu user on bme-jenkins-slave-n01
  • f5fpc --start --host ${CLOUD_HOST} --user ${CLOUD_USER} --password ${CLOUD_PASS} --nocheck
• Connect to intelci-node01 (deploy node) SSH keys used for access
  • ssh root@172.24.0.21
• Disconnect to VPN on Cloud5 do not disconnect VPN if a job is running on this environment
  • f5fpc --stop

Nodes

On intelci-node01, hosts file is configured for all nodes. SSH is keyed throughout environment ex. ssh controller01.

Nodes:

Each controller node has multiple containers:

CI/CD Workflow

This is a work in progress as the environment is being configured and tested, process workflow is being implemented as:

Environment Configuration

Required packages

cd /root
apt-get update -y
apt-get install -y python-dev curl
wget -k https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py
python get-pip.py

openstack_release <= Mitaka

Due to this bug - ansible/ansible-modules-extras#2042
pip 'install' 'git+https://github.com/ansible/ansible@stable-1.9'

openstack_release >= Newton

pip install ansible

Clone this repo to deployment host /root directory

cd /root
git clone http://github.com/osic/qe-jenkins-baremetal

Change into repo directory

cd /root/qe-jenkins-baremetal

Provision servers (does not include deployment host)

ansible-playbook -f 22 -i inventory provision.yml

Configure servers (packages/networking/etc)

ansible-playbook -f 22 -i inventory configure.yml --ask-pass

Prepare the deployment host to install openstack-ansible

If openstack_release is not set master branch is used
ansible-playbook -i inventory stage.yml -e "openstack_release='stable/mitaka'"
