Hi,
In the RHOSP 14 "Spine Leaf Networking" document, I have removed all references
to the Compute metadata service.
Specifically, these changes are:
A. In the the topic, "4.3. Creating a custom NIC Configuration:"
i. Removed step #4:
4. Scroll to the EC2MetadataIp parameter in the parameters section.
This parameter resembles the following snippet:
EC2MetadataIp: # Override this via parameter_defaults
description: The IP address of the EC2 metadata server.
type: string
Modify this parameter to suit Leaf0:
Leaf0EC2MetadataIp: # Override this via parameter_defaults
description: The IP address of the EC2 metadata server.
type: string
ii. In (former) step 6, now step 5, removed:
- ip_netmask: 169.254.169.254/32
next_hop:
get_param: Leaf0EC2MetadataIp
iii. Removed `Leaf0EC2MetadataIp` from this paragraph:
Note that the parameters used in this case are specific to Leaf0:
`ControlPlane0SubnetCidr`, `Leaf0EC2MetadataIp`, and
`ControlPlane0DefaultRoute`. Also note the use of the CIDR for Leaf0
on the provisioning network (192.168.10.0/24), which is used as a
route.
B. In the topic, "4.4. Creating custom Compute NIC configurations:"
i. Removed step #4:
4. Scroll to the EC2MetadataIp parameter in the parameters section.
This parameter resembles the following snippet:
EC2MetadataIp: # Override this via parameter_defaults
description: The IP address of the EC2 metadata server.
type: string
Modify this parameter to suit Leaf0:
Leaf0EC2MetadataIp: # Override this via parameter_defaults
description: The IP address of the EC2 metadata server.
type: string
ii. In (former) step 6, now step 5, removed:
- ip_netmask: 169.254.169.254/32
next_hop:
get_param: Leaf0EC2MetadataIp
iii. Removed `Leaf0EC2MetadataIp` from this paragraph:
Note that the parameters used in this case are specific to Leaf0:
`ControlPlane0SubnetCidr`, `Leaf0EC2MetadataIp`, and
`ControlPlane0DefaultRoute`. Also note the use of the CIDR for Leaf0
on the provisioning network (192.168.10.0/24), which is used as a
route.
iv. In (former) step 9, now step 8, removed this bullet item:
- Change EC2MetadataIp to Leaf1EC2MetadataIp.
v. In (former) step 10, now step 9, removed this bullet item:
- Change EC2MetadataIp to Leaf2EC2MetadataIp.
C. In the the topic, "4.5. Creating custom Ceph Storage NIC configurations:"
i. Removed step #3:
3. Scroll to the EC2MetadataIp parameter in the parameters section.
This parameter resembles the following snippet:
EC2MetadataIp: # Override this via parameter_defaults
description: The IP address of the EC2 metadata server.
type: string
Modify this parameter to suit Leaf0:
Leaf0EC2MetadataIp: # Override this via parameter_defaults
description: The IP address of the EC2 metadata server.
type: string
ii. In (former) step 5, now step 4, removed:
- ip_netmask: 169.254.169.254/32
next_hop:
get_param: Leaf0EC2MetadataIp
iii. Removed `Leaf0EC2MetadataIp` from this paragraph:
Note that the parameters used in this case are specific to Leaf0:
`ControlPlane0SubnetCidr`, `Leaf0EC2MetadataIp`, and
`ControlPlane0DefaultRoute`. Also note the use of the CIDR for Leaf0
on the provisioning network (192.168.10.0/24), which is used as a
route.
iv. In (former) step 8, now step 9, removed this bullet item:
- Change EC2MetadataIp to Leaf1EC2MetadataIp.
v. In (former) step 9, now step 8, removed this bullet item:
- Change EC2MetadataIp to Leaf2EC2MetadataIp.
D. In the the topic, "4.10. Setting control plane parameters:"
i. From the example NIC template, removed:
- ip_netmask: 169.254.169.254/32
next_hop:
get_param: Leaf0EC2MetadataIp
ii. Removed "metadata IP" from this paragraph:
In this instance, we need to define the IP, subnet, metadata IP, and
default route for the respective Control Plane network on Leaf 0.
iii. Removed step #2d:
d. Add the parameters for the EC2 metadata IPs:
parameter_defaults:
...
Leaf0EC2MetadataIp: 192.168.10.1
Leaf1EC2MetadataIp: 192.168.11.1
Leaf2EC2MetadataIp: 192.168.12.1
These act as routes through the control plane for the EC2 metadata
service (169.254.169.254/32) and you should typically set these to
the respective gateway for each leaf on the provisioning network.
D. In Appendix B, "Custom NIC template:"
i. Removed this section:
# EC2 metadata server IPs
Leaf0EC2MetadataIp:
type: string
Leaf1EC2MetadataIp:
type: string
Leaf2EC2MetadataIp:
type: string
In Appendix C, "Example roles_data file," I found these references, which I left
UNMODIFIED:
I. Under, "# Role: Controller0:"
- OS::TripleO::Services::NovaMetadata
II. Under, "# Role: Compute0:"
deprecated_param_metadata: 'NovaComputeServerMetadata'
III. Under, "# Role: Compute1:"
deprecated_param_metadata: 'NovaComputeServerMetadata'
