Deployment and Scheduling tool for Bare Metal

Overview

This is a simple tool to provision bare metal machines using OpenStack Bare Metal Service (ironic), OpenStack Image Service (glance) and OpenStack Networking Service (neutron).

Usage

Start with sourcing your OpenStack credentials, for example:

. ~/stackrc

Generic usage is as follows:

metalsmith deploy --image <GLANCE IMAGE> --network <NEUTRON NET> \
    --ssh-public-key <PATH TO SSH PUBLIC KEY> <RESOURCE CLASS>

This is an example suitable for TripleO (replace compute with the profile you want to deploy):

metalsmith deploy --image overcloud-full --network ctlplane \
    --capability profile=compute --ssh-public-key ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub baremetal

To remove the deployed instance:

metalsmith undeploy <NODE UUID>

For all possible options see the built-in help:

metalsmith --help
