Overview

This is a client for the OpenStack Bare Metal API <https://docs.openstack.org/api-ref/baremetal/>_. It provides:

• a Python API: the ironicclient module, and
• a command-line interfaces: openstack baremetal

Development takes place via the usual OpenStack processes as outlined in the developer guide <https://docs.openstack.org/infra/manual/developers.html>. The master repository is on opendev.org <https://opendev.org/openstack/python-ironicclient/>.

Python API

Quick-start Example::

>>> from ironicclient import client
>>>
>>> kwargs = {'os_auth_token': '3bcc3d3a03f44e3d8377f9247b0ad155',
>>>           'ironic_url': 'http://ironic.example.org:6385/'}
>>> ironic = client.get_client(1, **kwargs)

openstack baremetal CLI

The openstack baremetal command line interface is available when the bare metal plugin (included in this package) is used with the OpenStackClient <https://docs.openstack.org/python-openstackclient/latest/>_.

There are two ways to install the OpenStackClient (python-openstackclient) package:

• along with this python-ironicclient package::

  pip install python-ironicclient[cli]

• directly::

  pip install python-openstackclient

An example of creating a basic node with the ipmi driver::

$ openstack baremetal node create --driver ipmi

An example of creating a port on a node::

$ openstack baremetal port create --node <UUID> AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF

An example of updating driver properties for a node::

$ openstack baremetal node set --driver-info ipmi_address=<IPaddress> <UUID or name>
