Generic Registration

Summary

This feature must deprecate vdsm-reg and provide a generic registration tool to make any supported distro (oVirt Node, CentOS, RHEL) be able to register against oVirt Engine using new registration schema.

Modules involved or affected by this Feature

• VDSM
• ovirt-node-plugin-vdsm
• ovirt-node
• vdsm-reg
• ovirt-engine

Detailed Description

This implementation will require:

• Create the new registration tool.
• Integrate it with oVirt Node TUI
• Create a new tool to handle autoinstall which should use the generic registration to add new node into Engine. (deprecate vdsm_reg/vdsm-config too)
• Persist conf files if it’s oVirt node based distro

Benefit to oVirt

The vdsm-reg was implemented many years ago, should be refreshed with updated programming and using new registration service. Also, have a tool to register nodes in any oVirt supported distro.

Testing

Example of testing:

• In oVirt Node TUI:

https://dougsland.fedorapeople.org/ovirtpics/regtabovirt35.png

• In shell:

  # vdsm-tool register –engine-fqdn engine.localdomain

For more options:

   #  vdsm-tool register --help
   usage: vdsm-tool register [-h] [--node-fqdn NODE_FQDN] [--node-name NODE_NAME]
                  --engine-fqdn ENGINE_FQDN
                  [--engine-https-port ENGINE_HTTPS_PORT] [--ssh-user SSH_USER]
                  [--ssh-port SSH_PORT] [--nocheck-fqdn CHECK_FQDN]
                  [--fingerprint FINGERPRINT] [--vdsm-port VDSM_PORT]
    Tool to register node to Engine
    --engine-fqdn ENGINE_FQDN
                         Engine FQDN (See also: --check-fqdn)
     optional arguments:
   -h, --help            show this help message and exit
   --node-fqdn NODE_FQDN
                         Define node FQDN or IP address. If not provided, will be used system host name
   --node-name NODE_NAME
                         Define node name. If not provided, will be used system short host name (the name before the first dot in the system host name)
   --engine-https-port ENGINE_HTTPS_PORT
                         Define engine https port. If not provided, will be used 443
   --ssh-user SSH_USER   SSH username to establish the connection with Engine. If not provided, the user which is executing the script will catch and used
   --ssh-port SSH_PORT   SSH port to establish the connection with Engine If not provided, the script will use the default SSH port 22
   --nocheck-fqdn CHECK_FQDN
                         Disable or Enable FQDN check for Engine CA, this option is enabled by default (Use: True or False)
   --fingerprint FINGERPRINT
                         Specify an existing fingerprint to be validated against Engine CA fingerprint
   --vdsm-port VDSM_PORT
                         Specify the listen port of VDSM If not provided, will be used the default 54321
   Example of use:

vdsm-tool register –engine-fqdn engine.mydomain

• In Autoinstall:

For autoinstall users can keep using the already know boot keys: management_server, management_port, management_server_fingerprint, hostname, engine_admin_password.

management_server: the key for oVirt Engine FQDN (required) hostname: specify oVirt Node hostname (required, otherwise it will be localhost.localdomain and oVirt Engine won’t reach it) management_port: oVirt Engine https Port (default 443/https) management_server_fingerprint: used to validate the oVirt Engine CA, use in the format: 11:11:11:11:11 engine_admin_password: Set root password and Enable SSH daemon BOOTIF: Network interface to be configured as ovirtmgmt network interface firstboot: Firstboot of node

Example for PXE or Grub for autoinstall of ovirt-node with dhcp:

     firstboot storage_init=/dev/sda adminpw=RHhwCLrQXB8zE management_server=engine.localdomain BOOTIF=ens3 hostname=node.localdomain

Example for PXE or Grub for autoinstall of ovirt-node with static ip address:

     firstboot storage_init=/dev/sda adminpw=RHhwCLrQXB8zE management_server=engine.localdomain BOOTIF=ens3 hostname=node.localdomain ip=192.168.122.125 netmask=255.255.255.0 gateway=192.168.122.1

Example for PXE or Grub for autoinstall specifying ovirt engine port (Use for non default https port. The default engine https port is 443)

     firstboot storage_init=/dev/sda adminpw=RHhwCLrQXB8zE management_server=engine.localdomain:7443 BOOTIF=ens3 hostname=node.localdomain

AutoRegistration

The auto-registration is handled by /sbin/ovirt-node-plugin-vdsm-autoreg which detects if the user provided the autoinstall kernel argumentos and detects if the node is already registered consulting if OVIRT_NODE_REGISTER=True exists in /etc/default/ovirt.
