openstack.cloud.baremetal_node module – Create/Delete Bare Metal Resources from OpenStack

Note

This module is part of the openstack.cloud collection (version 2.2.0).

You might already have this collection installed if you are using the ansible package. It is not included in ansible-core. To check whether it is installed, run ansible-galaxy collection list.

To install it, use: ansible-galaxy collection install openstack.cloud. You need further requirements to be able to use this module, see Requirements for details.

To use it in a playbook, specify: openstack.cloud.baremetal_node.

Synopsis

  • Create or Remove Ironic nodes from OpenStack.

Requirements

The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.

  • python >= 3.6

  • openstacksdk >= 1.0.0

Parameters

Parameter

Comments

api_timeout

integer

How long should the socket layer wait before timing out for API calls. If this is omitted, nothing will be passed to the requests library.

auth

dictionary

Dictionary containing auth information as needed by the cloud’s auth plugin strategy. For the default password plugin, this would contain auth_url, username, password, project_name and any information about domains (for example, user_domain_name or project_domain_name) if the cloud supports them. For other plugins, this param will need to contain whatever parameters that auth plugin requires. This parameter is not needed if a named cloud is provided or OpenStack OS_* environment variables are present.

auth_type

string

Name of the auth plugin to use. If the cloud uses something other than password authentication, the name of the plugin should be indicated here and the contents of the auth parameter should be updated accordingly.

bios_interface

string

The bios interface for this node, e.g. no-bios.

boot_interface

string

The boot interface for this node, e.g. pxe.

ca_cert

aliases: cacert

string

A path to a CA Cert bundle that can be used as part of verifying SSL API requests.

client_cert

aliases: cert

string

A path to a client certificate to use as part of the SSL transaction.

client_key

aliases: key

string

A path to a client key to use as part of the SSL transaction.

cloud

any

Named cloud or cloud config to operate against. If cloud is a string, it references a named cloud config as defined in an OpenStack clouds.yaml file. Provides default values for auth and auth_type. This parameter is not needed if auth is provided or if OpenStack OS_* environment variables are present. If cloud is a dict, it contains a complete cloud configuration like would be in a section of clouds.yaml.

Notes

Note

  • The standard OpenStack environment variables, such as OS_USERNAME may be used instead of providing explicit values.

  • Auth information is driven by openstacksdk, which means that values can come from a yaml config file in /etc/ansible/openstack.yaml, /etc/openstack/clouds.yaml or ~/.config/openstack/clouds.yaml, then from standard environment variables, then finally by explicit parameters in plays. More information can be found at https://docs.openstack.org/openstacksdk/

driver_internal_info

dictionary

Internal metadata set and stored by the node’s driver.

Returned: success

extra

dictionary

A set of one or more arbitrary metadata key and value pairs.

The fault indicates the active fault detected by ironic, typically the node is in “maintenance mode”. None means no fault has been detected by ironic. “power failure” indicates ironic failed to retrieve power state from this node. There are other possible types, e.g., “clean failure” and “rescue abort failure”.

Returned: success

id

string

The UUID for the resource.

Returned: success

inspect_interface

string

The interface used for node inspection.

Returned: success

instance_id

string

UUID of the Nova instance associated with this node.

Returned: success

instance_info

dictionary

Information used to customize the deployed image. May include root partition size, a base 64 encoded config drive, and other metadata. Note that this field is erased automatically when the instance is deleted (this is done by requesting the node provision state be changed to DELETED).

Returned: success
