Hello all,
I've been working at getting an ironic setup going (following the
installation guide
http://docs.openstack.org/developer/ironic/deploy/install-guide.html).
I'm up to the node creation step and have some questions
1) In regards to the baremetal flavor, how closely do the extra-specs
need to match the physical node?
a) The node I'm working with has a strange amount of memory,
65952964 KiB which does not evenly map to the MiB units requested by
ironic (65952964 KiB / 1024 = 64407.1914063 MiB). What kind of rounding
should I do?
b) Should the 'local_gb' property of the node be the size (in
GiB) of the partition where the os will be installed or should it be the
sum of the partitions?
2) Does pxe_root_gb refer to the size of the partition where the OS will
be installed or is it something else?
I appreciate any insight, thanks for the help!
-Mike
