redfish_virtual_bmc

redfish_virtual_bmc - ansible role

Role to deploy sushy-emulator (RedFish Virtual BMC) service on the OpenShift cluster.

The emulator is configured with the OpenStack driver as the backend.

This role consists of static kubernetes manifests in files and templated manifests in templates.

The automation-vars.yml is used with the hotloop role to apply the resources on the OpenShift cluster.

Console Monitoring

This role automatically includes two additional roles for Nova instance console monitoring:

• nova_console_poller - Monitors serial console output
• nova_console_recorder - Records VNC console sessions to MP4

Both can be disabled independently via variables (see Variables section below).
