Share physical disks with other logical disks. Share_physical_disks - Set to true if this logical disk can Serves the use-case where the operator doesn’t want to provide individualĭetails for each bare metal node. These hints are specified for each logical disk to let Ironic find the desiredĭisks for RAID configuration. Root device hint will be saved, if the RAID interface is capable of Logical disks must have this set to false.

Most one logical disk can have this set to true the other Is_root_volume - Set to true if this is the root volume. If not specified, volume name will be auto-generated. These properties have default values and they may be overridden in the Raid_level - RAID level for the logical disk. This can be used only when backing physical MAX may be specified if the logical disk should use all of the Size_gb - Size (Integer) of the logical disk to be created in GiB. These properties must be specified for each logical For example, the DIB support for Proliant Hardware Manager should be used for HPEīaremetal driver raid property list Mandatory properties ¶ Build agent ramdisk which supports RAID configuration ¶įor doing in-band hardware RAID configuration, Ironic needs an agent ramdiskīundled with a hardware manager which supports RAID configuration for your Usually implemented by the agent RAID interface.

For in-band hardware RAID configuration,Ī hardware manager which supports RAID should be bundled with the ramdisk. In-band RAID configuration (including software RAID) is done using the Software RAID is supported on all hardware, although with some RAID interfaces may implement RAID configuration either in-band The bare metal node needs to use a hardware type that supports RAIDĬonfiguration.

The desired RAID configuration is applied on the bare metal during manual To specify the desired RAID configuration via the OpenStackClient CLI or RESTĪPI.

Ironic supports RAID configuration for bare metal nodes.
