-------------- Hi Devananda, Thanks for your reply. Your link shows how to create a VM through vSphere. What we are doing is to how to deploy vSphere to bare metal server, so that automation can be from installation, deployment, to configuration, to VM creation. Hi Chris, We do use diskimage-builder to create ubuntu image, kernel, initfs, and deploy ubuntu through Ironic API successful. However, seems like diskimage-builder doesn't support vmware, so we don't know how to extract vmware kernel, initfs from vmware image, such as http://partnerweb.vmware.com/programs/vmdkimage/debian-2.6.32-i686.vmdk. So wonder to know whether anyone has done this before. Best RegardsLeslie ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi Chao, The ironic ssh driver does support vmware. See https://github.com/openstack/ironic/blob/master/ironic/drivers/modules/ssh.py#L69-L89. Have you seen the Triple-O tools, mainly Disk Image Builder (https://github.com/openstack/diskimage-builder). This is how I build images I use for testing. I have not tested the vmware parts of ironic as I do not have a vmware server to test with, others have tested it. Hope this helps. Chris Krelle--NobodyCam
2014-06-06 1:31 GMT+08:00 Devananda van der Veen <devananda....@gmail.com>: ChaoYan, Are you asking about using vmware as a test platform for developing Ironic, or as a platform on which to run a production workload managed by Ironic? I do not understand your question -- why would you use Ironic to manage a VMWare cluster, when there is a separate Nova driver specifically designed for managing vmware? While I am not familiar with it, I believe more information may be found here: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/NovaVMware/DeveloperGuide Best, Devananda On Thu, Jun 5, 2014 at 4:39 AM, 严超 <yanchao...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, All: > Is ironic support EXSI when boot a bare metal ?
