Hardware Onboarding and Burn in with Ironic in the CERN
Channel: OpenInfra Foundation
Date: 2022-06-16

The onboarding of new hardware in a data center is not done once the servers have been physically installed and cabled. In fact, it is usually only the beginning of a multi-stage process to make sure the new equipment is production-ready and later-on downtime is reduced to a minimum. Join us to learn how the overall onboarding process from the initial request to the availability in production looks like at CERN and how we leverage Ironic to manage it. We will dive into steps like auto-registration, inventory, or benchmarking and put special focus on the burn-in step (supported in Ironic with the Xena release), before we round things up with some initial impressions of moving from IPMI to Redfish as the protocol to interface with our servers.
