Can not new a Baremetal Instance when using cloudstack to manager the Baremetal Server ?

[xuanyuanaosheng]

We want using cloudstack to manager the Baremetal Server to achieve to deploy the OS on physical server.

ISSUE TYPE

• Bug Report
• Baremetal Management

COMPONENT NAME

• Baremetal Management

CLOUDSTACK VERSION

• CloudStack 4.18.0.0

CONFIGURATION

The Zone name is csbm using Basic (Network type). and the cluster Hypervisor is BareMetal

• Management Network: VLAN2128 : 10.26.128.0/24 (IP range is: 10.26.128.131 ---> 10.26.128.160)
• Guest Network: 10.25.30.X/24 (IP range is: 10.25.30.201 ---> 10.25.30.250). I think this is also the IPMI network.

The config is as below:

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

1. Create a basic Zone as above
2. Add Baremetal Server info:

ilo:   10.25.30.242
Ilo Host MAC: f4:02:70:9c:a5:d0
of CPU cores:  14
CPU (in MHz): 1000
Memory (in MB): 515240   (MemTotal:       527606672 kB)
Host Net MAC: 34:80:0d:43:39:ec

3. Add second storage using NFS
4. Add the above Baremetal Server to the cluster
5. The template is ks=http://10.26.20.11:8080/cloudstack_ks/CentOS-79-x86_64.ks;kernel=10.26.20.11:/var/lib/tftpboot/images/CentOS-7.9-x86_64/vmlinuz;initrd=10.26.20.11:/var/lib/tftpboot/images/CentOS-7.9-x86_64/initrd.img and add it to the zone:
6. Add BaremetalDhcpProvider and BaremetalPxeProvider:

7. Add compute offering:

8. New a Instance:

The error on web UI:

Request failed. (431)
Hypervisor BareMetal does not support rootdisksize override

The cloudstack manager error log is:

I don't know why the web UI using command=deployVirtualMachine to create a Baremetal Instance. Could you please take a look at this problem? If need other info, please add a comment.

EXPECTED RESULTS

Create a Baremetal Instance successfully

ACTUAL RESULTS

Can not Create a Baremetal Instance

@xuanyuanaosheng good to see the usage of baremetal in the deployments. Thanks.

The steps that you've followed seems to be correct to me. The error that you are facing seems like a regression

https://github.com/shapeblue/cloudstack-apple/blob/1b35a5aa1c5112ff3de7461939da9700f131348d/server/src/main/java/com/cloud/vm/UserVmManagerImpl.java#L4341

This call should not be here unless there are custom parameters defined to override disk offering.

We can fix it somehow but we need your help to verify the pull request due to lack of infrastructure. is it possible for you @xuanyuanaosheng

Also I'm not sure if full work flow for baremetal is in working condition as I've last tested it many years ago.

[xuanyuanaosheng]

@harikrishna-patnala I'm very happy to proceed with the next test. Please provide the relevant installation package.

[xuanyuanaosheng]

@harikrishna-patnala Any update?

[harikrishna-patnala]

@xuanyuanaosheng I'll need to investigate the issue and prepare a fix. Realistically I cannot promise a PR for this as I cannot reproduce the issue (due to lack of infra) but I'll give it a try

[xuanyuanaosheng]

@harikrishna-patnala Thanks, I will wait for you

HI @xuanyuanaosheng @harikrishna-patnala,

I'm having the same problem here, is there any update?

I would like to help in some way. I can provide access to my infrastructure if necessary
