Hello Ankele,

if you're using ironic on production servers I suggest you to build and use ironic-python-agent images based on diskimage-builder as explained here: https://docs.openstack.org/ironic-python-agent-builder/latest/admin/dib.html

The tinyipa image is best suited for testing and development and not recommended for production usage.

Thanks,

Riccardo

Hi~

My Rocky OpenStack platform deployed with official documents, includes Keystone/Cinder/Neutron/Nova and Ironic.

I used to boot my baremetal nodes by CoreOS downloaded on https://tarballs.opendev.org/openstack/ironic-python-agent/coreos/files/ https://tarballs.opendev.org/openstack/ironic-python-agent/coreos/files/coreos_production_pxe.vmlinuz

Since I want to customize my own HardwareManager for configuring RAID, I have build TinyIPA image tinyipa.tar.gz and tinyipa.vmlinuz with ironic-python-agent-builder(master branch) and ironic-python-agent(rocky branch). Here are all the products of the build process. [image: image.png] Then I used these two images to create the baremetal node, and boot nova server, but I didn't get the results I wanted, it couldn't enter the ramdisk and always in 'wait call-back' state. as following

[image: image.png] I got nothing in /var/log/ironic/ironig-conductor.log and /var/log/nova/nova-compute.log

I don't know if these two image (tinyipa.tar.gz and tinyipa.vmlinuz) are valid for Ironic. If not, how can I customize HardwareManager?

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Hi,

TinyIPA may not work for real hardware, you need to either build a custom CoreOS image or a DIB-based image.
