Ansible Spinal Stack

This playbook aims to deploy a SpinalStack platform on a libvirt hypervisor.

Prerequisite

On a vanilla EL7 platform the following packages are necessary :

Note: For qemu-kvm to be in the right path for ansible execution run ln -s /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm /usr/bin/qemu-kvm

Make sure the ntp daemon is running on the host machine as the guests will take time from it

For ansible-spinalstack to work one needs to retrieve two eDeploy images. The install-server and openstack-full roles.

Currently, there is an issue with the qcow2 images so one should retrieve the raw image and convert it to a qcow2 image.

qemu-img convert -f raw -o qcow2 myimage.img myimage.qcow2

One can find two helper scripts in the contrib/ directory.

The prepare.sh will build qcow2 images on top of the base images. It will also create the seed.iso disk to inject information through cloud-init.

The clean.sh will destroy and undefine libvirt domains and network. It will also clean the filesystem from previous seed and edeploy images.

Simply run the following to be up and running :

ansible-playbook site.yml

Templatize the libvirt xml description domain file
Create a wrapper that would handler any architecture (ie. an n number of openstackfull images)
