My users are mostly happy with VMs, but I get occasional requests for
physical hardware in order to host databases, run performance tests,
etc. I'd love to rack a dozen small servers and graft the ironic
service onto my existing cloud in order to fulfill these sporadic
needs. I'm given pause, though, by this doc section:
http://docs.openstack.org/developer/ironic/deploy/install-guide.html#configure-compute-to-use-the-bare-metal-service
For example, this:
compute_driver=nova.virt.ironic.IronicDriver
That would have me changing nova settings in such a way that would
clearly make nova /only/ support bare-metal, disabling its
virtualization facilities. Does that mean that bare metal is really an
either/or proposition, or is there some way to make bare metal and virt
services coexist on a single nova installation? Or is there an
in-between option that involves installing a second nova stack on
different nodes with a different config?
-- Bonus Question --
I'm still using nova-network. Is anyone using ironic without neutron?
Or, if not, is that at least theoretically possible?
Thanks!
-Andrew
