Chapter 5. ironic The following chapter contains information about the configuration options in the ironic service. 5.1. ironic.conf This section contains options for the /etc/ironic/ironic.conf file. 5.1.1. DEFAULT The following table outlines the options available under the [DEFAULT] group in the /etc/ironic/ironic.conf file. . Configuration option = Default value Type Description auth_strategy = keystone string value Authentication strategy used by ironic-api. "noauth" should not be used in a production environment because all authentication will be disabled. backdoor_port = None string value Enable eventlet backdoor. Acceptable values are 0, <port>, and <start>:<end>, where 0 results in listening on a random tcp port number; <port> results in listening on the specified port number (and not enabling backdoor if that port is in use); and <start>:<end> results in listening on the smallest unused port number within the specified range of port numbers. The chosen port is displayed in the service's log file. backdoor_socket = None string value Enable eventlet backdoor, using the provided path as a unix socket that can receive connections. This option is mutually exclusive with backdoor_port in that only one should be provided. If both are provided then the existence of this option overrides the usage of that option.

This file is recommended for creating UEFI bootable ISO images efficiently. ESP image should contain a FAT12/16/32-formatted file system holding EFI boot loaders (e.g. GRUB2) for each hardware architecture ironic needs to boot. This option is only used when neither ESP nor ISO deploy image is configured to the node being deployed in which case ironic will attempt to fetch ESP image from the configured location or extract ESP image from UEFI-bootable deploy ISO image. executor_thread_pool_size = 64 integer value Size of executor thread pool when executor is threading or eventlet. fatal_deprecations = False boolean value Enables or disables fatal status of deprecations. force_raw_images = True boolean value If True, convert backing images to "raw" disk image format. graceful_shutdown_timeout = 60 integer value Specify a timeout after which a gracefully shutdown server will exit. Zero value means endless wait. grub_config_path = EFI/BOOT/grub.cfg string value GRUB2 configuration file location on the UEFI ISO images produced by ironic. The default value is usually incorrect and should not be relied on. If you use a GRUB2 image from a certain distribution, use a distribution-specific path here, e.g. EFI/ubuntu/grub.cfg grub_config_template = USDpybasedir/common/grub_conf.template string value Template file for grub configuration file. hash_partition_exponent = 5 integer value Exponent to determine number of hash partitions to use when distributing load across conductors. Larger values will result in more even distribution of load and less load when rebalancing the ring, but more memory usage. Number of partitions per conductor is (2^hash_partition_exponent). This determines the granularity of rebalancing: given 10 hosts, and an exponent of the 2, there are 40 partitions in the ring.A few thousand partitions should make rebalancing smooth in most cases. The default is suitable for up to a few hundred conductors. Configuring for too many partitions has a negative impact on CPU usage. hash_ring_algorithm = md5 string value Hash function to use when building the hash ring. If running on a FIPS system, do not use md5. WARNING: all ironic services in a cluster MUST use the same algorithm at all times. Changing the algorithm requires an offline update. hash_ring_reset_interval = 15 integer value Time (in seconds) after which the hash ring is considered outdated and is refreshed on the access. host = <based on operating system> string value Name of this node. This can be an opaque identifier. It is not necessarily a hostname, FQDN, or IP address.

This file is appended to any existing logging configuration files. For details about logging configuration files, see the Python logging module documentation. Note that when logging configuration files are used then all logging configuration is set in the configuration file and other logging configuration options are ignored (for example, log-date-format). log-date-format = %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S string value Defines the format string for %%(asctime)s in log records. Default: %(default)s . This option is ignored if log_config_append is set. log-dir = None string value (Optional) The base directory used for relative log_file paths. This option is ignored if log_config_append is set. log-file = None string value (Optional) Name of log file to send logging output to.

This, combined with memory_wait_retries allows the conductor to determine how long we should attempt to directly retry. minimum_memory_warning_only = False boolean value Setting to govern if Ironic should only warn instead of attempting to hold back the request in order to prevent the exhaustion of system memory. minimum_required_memory = 1024 integer value Minimum memory in MiB for the system to have available prior to starting a memory intensive process on the conductor. my_ip = <based on operating system> string value IPv4 address of this host. If unset, will determine the IP programmatically. If unable to do so, will use "127.0.0.1". NOTE: This field does accept an IPv6 address as an override for templates and URLs, however it is recommended that [DEFAULT]my_ipv6 is used along with DNS names for service URLs for dual-stack environments. my_ipv6 = None string value IP address of this host using IPv6. This value must be supplied via the configuration and cannot be adequately programmatically determined like the [DEFAULT]my_ip parameter for IPv4. notification_level = None string value Specifies the minimum level for which to send notifications. If not set, no notifications will be sent. The default is for this option to be unset. parallel_image_downloads = True boolean value Run image downloads and raw format conversions in parallel. pecan_debug = False boolean value Enable pecan debug mode. WARNING: this is insecure and should not be used in a production environment. pin_release_version = None string value Used for rolling upgrades. Setting this option downgrades (or pins) the Bare Metal API, the internal ironic RPC communication, and the database objects to their respective versions, so they are compatible with older services. When doing a rolling upgrade from version N to version N+1, set (to pin) this to N. To unpin (default), leave it unset and the latest versions will be used. publish_errors = False boolean value Enables or disables publication of error events. pybasedir = /usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/ironic string value Directory where the ironic python module is installed. rate_limit_burst = 0 integer value Maximum number of logged messages per rate_limit_interval. rate_limit_except_level = CRITICAL string value Log level name used by rate limiting: CRITICAL, ERROR, INFO, WARNING, DEBUG or empty string. Logs with level greater or equal to rate_limit_except_level are not filtered. An empty string means that all levels are filtered. rate_limit_interval = 0 integer value Interval, number of seconds, of log rate limiting. raw_image_growth_factor = 2.0 floating point value The scale factor used for estimating the size of a raw image converted from compact image formats such as QCOW2. Default is 2.0, must be greater than 1.0. rbac_service_project_name = service string value The project name utilized for Role Based Access Control checks for the reserved service project. This project is utilized for services to have accounts for cross-service communication. Often these accounts require higher levels of access, and effectively this permits accounts from the service to not be restricted to project scoping of responses. i.e. The service project user with a service role will be able to see nodes across all projects, similar to System scoped access. If not set to a value, and all service role access will be filtered matching an owner or lessee , if applicable. If an operator wishes to make behavior visible for all service role users across all projects, then a custom policy must be used to override the default "service_role" rule. It should be noted that the value of "service" is a default convention for OpenStack deployments, but the requsite access and details around end configuration are largely up to an operator if they are doing an OpenStack deployment manually. rbac_service_role_elevated_access = False boolean value Enable elevated access for users with service role belonging to the rbac_service_project_name project when using default policy. The default setting of disabled causes all service role requests to be scoped to the project the service account belongs to. rootwrap_config = /etc/ironic/rootwrap.conf string value Path to the rootwrap configuration file to use for running commands as root. rpc_conn_pool_size = 30 integer value Size of RPC connection pool. rpc_ping_enabled = False boolean value Add an endpoint to answer to ping calls.

This option is ignored if log_config_append is set. tempdir = /tmp string value Temporary working directory, default is Python temp dir. transport_url = rabbit:// string value The network address and optional user credentials for connecting to the messaging backend, in URL format. The expected format is: driver://[user:pass@]host:port[,[userN:passN@]hostN:portN]/virtual_host?query Example: rabbit://rabbitmq:password@127.0.0.1:5672// For full details on the fields in the URL see the documentation of oslo_messaging.TransportURL at https://docs.openstack.org/oslo.messaging/latest/reference/transport.html use-journal = False boolean value Enable journald for logging. If running in a systemd environment you may wish to enable journal support. Doing so will use the journal native protocol which includes structured metadata in addition to log messages.This option is ignored if log_config_append is set. use-json = False boolean value Use JSON formatting for logging. This option is ignored if log_config_append is set. use-syslog = False boolean value Use syslog for logging. Existing syslog format is DEPRECATED and will be changed later to honor RFC5424. This option is ignored if log_config_append is set. use_eventlog = False boolean value Log output to Windows Event Log. use_stderr = False boolean value Log output to standard error. This option is ignored if log_config_append is set. versioned_notifications_topics = ['ironic_versioned_notifications'] list value Specifies the topics for the versioned notifications issued by Ironic. The default value is fine for most deployments and rarely needs to be changed. However, if you have a third-party service that consumes versioned notifications, it might be worth getting a topic for that service. Ironic will send a message containing a versioned notification payload to each topic queue in this list. The list of versioned notifications is visible in https://docs.openstack.org/ironic/latest/admin/notifications.html watch-log-file = False boolean value Uses logging handler designed to watch file system. When log file is moved or removed this handler will open a new log file with specified path instantaneously. It makes sense only if log_file option is specified and Linux platform is used. This option is ignored if log_config_append is set. webserver_connection_timeout = 60 integer value Connection timeout when accessing remote web servers with images. webserver_verify_ca = True string value CA certificates to be used for certificate verification. This can be either a Boolean value or a path to a CA_BUNDLE file.If set to True, the certificates present in the standard path are used to verify the host certificates.If set to False, the conductor will ignore verifying the SSL certificate presented by the host.If it"s a path, conductor uses the specified certificate for SSL verification. If the path does not exist, the behavior is same as when this value is set to True i.e the certificates present in the standard path are used for SSL verification.Defaults to True. 5.1.2. agent The following table outlines the options available under the [agent] group in the /etc/ironic/ironic.conf file.

By streaming raw images directly onto the disk the agent ramdisk will not spend time copying the image to a tmpfs partition (therefore consuming less memory) prior to writing it to the disk. Unless the disk where the image will be copied to is really slow, this option should be set to True.

If True (the default), the process will begin and will pause after the node starts heartbeating. Moving it from maintenance will make the process continue. automated_clean = True boolean value Enables or disables automated cleaning. Automated cleaning is a configurable set of steps, such as erasing disk drives, that are performed on the node to ensure it is in a baseline state and ready to be deployed to. This is done after instance deletion as well as during the transition from a "manageable" to "available" state. When enabled, the particular steps performed to clean a node depend on which driver that node is managed by; see the individual driver's documentation for details. NOTE: The introduction of the cleaning operation causes instance deletion to take significantly longer. In an environment where all tenants are trusted (eg, because there is only one tenant), this option could be safely disabled. automatic_lessee = False boolean value If the conductor should record the Project ID indicated by Keystone for a requested deployment. Allows rights to be granted to directly access the deployed node as a lessee within the RBAC security model. The conductor does not record this value otherwise, and this information is not backfilled for prior instances which have been deployed. bootloader = None string value Glance ID, http:// or file:// URL of the EFI system partition image containing EFI boot loader.

If unset for an inband clean step, will use the priority set in the ramdisk. conductor_always_validates_images = False boolean value Security Option to enable the conductor to always inspect the image content of any requested deploy, even if the deployment would have normally bypassed the conductor's cache. When this is set to False, the Ironic-Python-Agent is responsible for any necessary image checks. Setting this to True will result in a higher utilization of resources (disk space, network traffic) as the conductor will evaluate all images. This option is not mutable, and requires a service restart to change. This option requires [conductor]disable_deep_image_inspection to be set to False. `conductor_group = ` string value Name of the conductor group to join. Can be up to 255 characters and is case insensitive. This conductor will only manage nodes with a matching "conductor_group" field set on the node. configdrive_swift_container = ironic_configdrive_container string value Name of the Swift container to store config drive data.

Set to 0 to disable timeout. deploy_kernel = None string value Glance ID, http:// or file:// URL of the kernel of the default deploy image. deploy_ramdisk = None string value Glance ID, http:// or file:// URL of the initramfs of the default deploy image. disable_deep_image_inspection = False boolean value Security Option to permit an operator to disable file content inspections. Under normal conditions, the conductor will inspect requested image contents which are transferred through the conductor. Disabling this option is not advisable and opens the risk of unsafe images being processed which may allow an attacker to leverage unsafe features in various disk image formats to perform a variety of unsafe and potentially compromising actions. This option is not mutable, and requires a service restart to change. disable_file_checksum = False boolean value Deprecated Security option: In the default case, image files have their checksums verified before undergoing additional conductor side actions such as image conversion. Enabling this option opens the risk of files being replaced at the source without the user's knowledge. disable_support_for_checksum_files = False boolean value Security option: By default Ironic will attempt to retrieve a remote checksum file via HTTP(S) URL in order to validate an image download. This is functionality aligning with ironic-python-agent support for standalone users. Disabling this functionality by setting this option to True will create a more secure environment, however it may break users in an unexpected fashion. enable_mdns = False boolean value Whether to enable publishing the baremetal API endpoint via multicast DNS. force_power_state_during_sync = True boolean value During sync_power_state, should the hardware power state be set to the state recorded in the database (True) or should the database be updated based on the hardware state (False). heartbeat_interval = 10 integer value Seconds between conductor heart beats. heartbeat_timeout = 60 integer value Maximum time (in seconds) since the last check-in of a conductor.

The concurrent clean limit cannot be disabled. max_concurrent_deploy = 250 integer value The maximum number of concurrent nodes in deployment which are permitted in this Ironic system. If this limit is reached, new requests will be rejected until the number of deployments in progress is lower than this maximum. As this is a security mechanism requests are not queued, and this setting is a global setting applying to all requests this conductor receives, regardless of access rights. The concurrent deployment limit cannot be disabled. node_history = True boolean value Boolean value, default True, if node event history is to be recorded. Errors and other noteworthy events in relation to a node are journaled to a database table which incurs some additional load. A periodic task does periodically remove entries from the database.

If an image format outside of this list is detected, the image validation logic will fail the deployment process. power_failure_recovery_interval = 300 integer value Interval (in seconds) between checking the power state for nodes previously put into maintenance mode due to power synchronization failure. A node is automatically moved out of maintenance mode once its power state is retrieved successfully. Set to 0 to disable this check. power_state_change_timeout = 60 integer value Number of seconds to wait for power operations to complete, i.e., so that a baremetal node is in the desired power state. If timed out, the power operation is considered a failure. power_state_sync_max_retries = 3 integer value During sync_power_state failures, limit the number of times Ironic should try syncing the hardware node power state with the node power state in DB require_rescue_password_hashed = False boolean value Option to cause the conductor to not fallback to an un-hashed version of the rescue password, permitting rescue with older ironic-python-agent ramdisks. rescue_callback_timeout = 1800 integer value Timeout (seconds) to wait for a callback from the rescue ramdisk.

This option controls how often, in seconds, each conductor will check for nodes that it should "take over". Set it to 0 (or a negative value) to disable the check entirely. sync_power_state_interval = 60 integer value Interval between syncing the node power state to the database, in seconds. Set to 0 to disable syncing. sync_power_state_workers = 8 integer value The maximum number of worker threads that can be started simultaneously to sync nodes power states from the periodic task. verify_step_priority_override = {} dict value Priority to run automated verify steps provided in interface.step_name:priority format,e.g. management.clear_job_queue:123. The option can be specified multiple times to define priorities for multiple steps. If set to 0, this specific step will not run during verification. workers_pool_size = 100 integer value The size of the workers greenthread pool.
