Cray-HPE/csm-config

Repository files navigation

csm-config

Cray System Management (CSM) Ansible roles and playbooks. Use these playbooks to configure and personalize non-compute nodes (NCNs) and configure CSM software on other node types (including compute nodes, UANs, etc).

Playbooks

  • site.yml -- top-level CSM play defining all of the CSM infrastructure. Includes host group-specific top level plays for CSM node types (master, workers, etc).
  • ncn-*_nodes.yml -- top-level role-specific NCN plays.

All other plays are task-specific and may span multiple NCN host groups.

Roles

Roles are defined in the ansible/roles directory and should be prefixed with csm. for their naming convention.

Variables

Variables should typically be defined by default in role default files, or by the user in group/host inventory. In the rare occasion these two do not meet meet the use case, the vars directory can be included.

Configuring CSM RPM Repositories and Installing Packages

CSM repositories to be added to the system should be specified in the ansible/vars/csm_repos.yml file.

CSM packages to be installed on systems should be specified in the ansible/vars/csm_packages.yml file.

Build Helpers

This repo uses some build helpers from the cms-meta-tools repo. See that repo for more details.

Local Builds

If you wish to perform a local build, you will first need to clone or copy the contents of the cms-meta-tools repo to ./cms_meta_tools in the same directory as the Makefile. When building on github, the cloneCMSMetaTools() function clones the cms-meta-tools repo into that directory.

For a local build, you will also need to manually write the .version, .docker_version (if this repo builds a docker image), and .chart_version (if this repo builds a helm chart) files. When building on github, this is done by the setVersionFiles() function.

Versioning

In order to make it easier to go from an artifact back to the source code that produced that artifact, a text file named gitInfo.txt is added to Docker images built from this repo. For Docker images, it can be found in the / folder. This file contains the branch from which it was built and the most recent commits to that branch.

For helm charts, a few annotation metadata fields are appended which contain similar information.

For RPMs, a changelog entry is added with similar information.

New Release Branches

When making a new release branch: * If an update_external_versions.conf file exists in this repo, be sure to update that, if needed.

When making any modifications to a file that has a Cray/HPE copyright header, that header must be updated to include the current year.

When creating any new files in this repo, if they contain source code, they must have the HPE copyright and license text in their header, unless the file is covered under someone else's copyright/license (in which case that should be in the header). For this purpose, source code files include Dockerfiles, Ansible files, RPM spec files, and shell scripts. It does not include Jenkinsfiles, OpenAPI/Swagger specs, or READMEs.

When in doubt, provided the file is not covered under someone else's copyright or license, then it does not hurt to add the HPE copyright to the header.
