-# OpenShift-Ansible - CFME Role
+## OpenShift-Ansible - CFME Role
-# PROOF OF CONCEPT - Alpha Version
+# CloudForms - 4.6
-This role is based on the work in the upstream
-[manageiq/manageiq-pods](https://github.com/ManageIQ/manageiq-pods)
-project. For additional literature on configuration specific to
-ManageIQ (optional post-installation tasks), visit the project's
-[upstream documentation page](http://manageiq.org/docs/get-started/basic-configuration).
+**Important Note**: As of 2017-09-06 the `master` branch of the
+[openshift-ansible](https://github.com/openshift/openshift-ansible)
+repository is now tracking changes for CloudForms 4.6.
-Please submit a
-[new issue](https://github.com/openshift/openshift-ansible/issues/new)
-if you run into bugs with this role or wish to request enhancements.
+If you installed CFME **4.5** previously using this role then you
+**must** use the role from the stable `release-3.6` branch.
-# Important Notes
+This role, `openshift_cfme`, in OpenShift Container Platform (OCP) 3.7
+**will not** be backwards compatible with the previous tech preview
+released in OCP 3.6.
-This is an early *proof of concept* role to install the Cloud Forms
-Management Engine (ManageIQ) on OpenShift Container Platform (OCP).
-* This role is still in **ALPHA STATUS**
-* Many options are hard-coded still (ex: NFS setup)
-* Not many configurable options yet
-* **Should** be ran on a dedicated cluster
-* **Will not run** on undersized infra
-* The terms *CFME* and *MIQ* / *ManageIQ* are interchangeable
+# CFME/MIQ 4.5 Legacy Instructions
-## Requirements
+* [OCP 3.6 - CFME 4.5 Installation Instruction](https://github.com/openshift/openshift-ansible/tree/release-3.6/roles/openshift_cfme)
-**NOTE:** These requirements are copied from the upstream
-[manageiq/manageiq-pods](https://github.com/ManageIQ/manageiq-pods)
-project.
+The instructions linked in the bulleted item above are for the **TECH
+PREVIEW** CloudForms Management Engine (ManageIQ) 4.5 release.
-### Prerequisites:
+# CloudForms 4.5 Pull Requests
-*
- [OpenShift Origin 1.5](https://docs.openshift.com/container-platform/3.5/welcome/index.html)
- or
- [higher](https://docs.openshift.com/container-platform/latest/welcome/index.html)
- provisioned
-* NFS or other compatible volume provider
-* A cluster-admin user (created by role if required)
-
-### Cluster Sizing
-
-In order to avoid random deployment failures due to resource
-starvation, we recommend a minimum cluster size for a **test**
-environment.
-
-| Type | Size | CPUs | Memory |
-|----------------|---------|----------|----------|
-| Masters | `1+` | `8` | `12GB` |
-| Nodes | `2+` | `4` | `8GB` |
-| PV Storage | `25GB` | `N/A` | `N/A` |
-
-
-![Basic CFME Deployment](img/CFMEBasicDeployment.png)
-
-**CFME has hard-requirements for memory. CFME will NOT install if your
- infrastructure does not meet or exceed the requirements given
- above. Do not run this playbook if you do not have the required
- memory, you will just waste your time.**
-
-
-### Other sizing considerations
-
-* Recommendations assume MIQ will be the **only application running**
- on this cluster.
-* Alternatively, you can provision an infrastructure node to run
- registry/metrics/router/logging pods.
-* Each MIQ application pod will consume at least `3GB` of RAM on initial
- deployment (blank deployment without providers).
-* RAM consumption will ramp up higher depending on appliance use, once
- providers are added expect higher resource consumption.
-
-
-### Assumptions
-
-1) You meet/exceed the [cluster sizing](#cluster-sizing) requirements
-1) Your NFS server is on your master host
-1) Your PV backing NFS storage volume is mounted on `/exports/`
-
-Required directories that NFS will export to back the PVs:
-
-* `/exports/miq-pv0[123]`
-
-If the required directories are not present at install-time, they will
-be created using the recommended permissions per the
-[upstream documentation](https://github.com/ManageIQ/manageiq-pods#make-persistent-volumes-to-host-the-miq-database-and-application-data):
-
-* UID/GID: `root`/`root`
-* Mode: `0775`
-
-**IMPORTANT:** If you are using a separate volume (`/dev/vdX`) for NFS
- storage, **ensure** it is mounted on `/exports/` **before** running
- this role.
-
-
-
-## Role Variables
-
-Core variables in this role:
-
-| Name | Default value | Description |
-|-------------------------------|---------------|---------------|
-| `openshift_cfme_install_app` | `False` | `True`: Install everything and create a new CFME app, `False`: Just install all of the templates and scaffolding |
-
-
-Variables you may override have defaults defined in
-[defaults/main.yml](defaults/main.yml).
-
-
-# Important Notes
-
-This is a **tech preview** status role presently. Use it with the same
-caution you would give any other pre-release software.
-
-**Most importantly** follow this one rule: don't re-run the entrypoint
-playbook multiple times in a row without cleaning up after previous
-runs if some of the CFME steps have ran. This is a known
-flake. Cleanup instructions are provided at the bottom of this README.
-
-
-# Usage
-
-This section describes the basic usage of this role. All parameters
-will use their [default values](defaults/main.yml).
-
-## Pre-flight Checks
-
-**IMPORTANT:** As documented above in [the prerequisites](#prerequisites),
- you **must already** have your OCP cluster up and running.
-
-**Optional:** The ManageIQ pod is fairly large (about 1.7 GB) so to
-save some spin-up time post-deployment, you can begin pre-pulling the
-docker image to each of your nodes now:
-
-```
-root@node0x # docker pull docker.io/manageiq/manageiq-pods:app-latest-fine
-```
-
-## Getting Started
-
-1) The *entry point playbook* to install CFME is located in
-[the BYO playbooks](../../playbooks/byo/openshift-cfme/config.yml)
-directory
-
-2) Update your existing `hosts` inventory file and ensure the
-parameter `openshift_cfme_install_app` is set to `True` under the
-`[OSEv3:vars]` block.
-
-2) Using your existing `hosts` inventory file, run `ansible-playbook`
-with the entry point playbook:
-
-```
-$ ansible-playbook -v -i <INVENTORY_FILE> playbooks/byo/openshift-cfme/config.yml
-```
-
-## Next Steps
-
-Once complete, the playbook will let you know:
-
-
-```
-TASK [openshift_cfme : Status update] *********************************************************
-ok: [ho.st.na.me] => {
- "msg": "CFME has been deployed. Note that there will be a delay before it is fully initialized.\n"
-}
-```
-
-This will take several minutes (*possibly 10 or more*, depending on
-your network connection). However, you can get some insight into the
-deployment process during initialization.
-
-### oc describe pod manageiq-0
-
-*Some useful information about the output you will see if you run the
-`oc describe pod manageiq-0` command*
-
-**Readiness probe**s - These will take a while to become
-`Healthy`. The initial health probes won't even happen for at least 8
-minutes depending on how long it takes you to pull down the large
-images. ManageIQ is a large application so it may take a considerable
-amount of time for it to deploy and be marked as `Healthy`.
-
-If you go to the node you know the application is running on (check
-for `Successfully assigned manageiq-0 to <HOST|IP>` in the `describe`
-output) you can run a `docker pull` command to monitor the progress of
-the image pull:
-
-```
-[root@cfme-node ~]# docker pull docker.io/manageiq/manageiq-pods:app-latest-fine
-Trying to pull repository docker.io/manageiq/manageiq-pods ...
-sha256:6c055ca9d3c65cd694d6c0e28986b5239ba56bbdf0488cccdaa283d545258f8a: Pulling from docker.io/manageiq/manageiq-pods
-Digest: sha256:6c055ca9d3c65cd694d6c0e28986b5239ba56bbdf0488cccdaa283d545258f8a
-Status: Image is up to date for docker.io/manageiq/manageiq-pods:app-latest-fine
-```
-
-The example above demonstrates the case where the image has been
-successfully pulled already.
-
-If the image isn't completely pulled already then you will see
-multiple progress bars detailing each image layer download status.
-
-
-### rsh
-
-*Useful inspection/progress monitoring techniques with the `oc rsh`
-command.*
-
-
-On your master node, switch to the `cfme` project (or whatever you
-named it if you overrode the `openshift_cfme_project` variable) and
-check on the pod states:
-
-```
-[root@cfme-master01 ~]# oc project cfme
-Now using project "cfme" on server "https://10.10.0.100:8443".
-
-[root@cfme-master01 ~]# oc get pod
-NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
-manageiq-0 0/1 Running 0 14m
-memcached-1-3lk7g 1/1 Running 0 14m
-postgresql-1-12slb 1/1 Running 0 14m
-```
-
-Note how the `manageiq-0` pod says `0/1` under the **READY**
-column. After some time (depending on your network connection) you'll
-be able to `rsh` into the pod to find out more of what's happening in
-real time. First, the easy-mode command, run this once `rsh` is
-available and then watch until it says `Started Initialize Appliance
-Database`:
-
-```
-[root@cfme-master01 ~]# oc rsh manageiq-0 journalctl -f -u appliance-initialize.service
-```
-
-For the full explanation of what this means, and more interactive
-inspection techniques, keep reading on.
-
-To obtain a shell on our `manageiq` pod we use this command:
-
-```
-[root@cfme-master01 ~]# oc rsh manageiq-0 bash -l
-```
-
-The `rsh` command opens a shell in your pod for you. In this case it's
-the pod called `manageiq-0`. `systemd` is managing the services in
-this pod so we can use the `list-units` command to see what is running
-currently: `# systemctl list-units | grep appliance`.
-
-If you see the `appliance-initialize` service running, this indicates
-that basic setup is still in progress. We can monitor the process with
-the `journalctl` command like so:
-
-
-```
-[root@manageiq-0 vmdb]# journalctl -f -u appliance-initialize.service

-```
-
-Most of what we see here (above) is the initial database seeding
-process. This process isn't very quick, so be patient.
-
-At the bottom of the log there is a special line from the `systemctl`
-service, `Removed symlink
-/etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/appliance-initialize.service`. The
-`appliance-initialize` service is no longer marked as enabled. This
-indicates that the base application initialization is complete now.
-
-We're not done yet though, there are other ancillary services which
-run in this pod to support the application. *Still in the rsh shell*,
-Use the `ps` command to monitor for the `httpd` processes
-starting. You will see output similar to the following when that stage
-has completed:
-
-```
-[root@manageiq-0 vmdb]# ps aux | grep http
-root 1941 0.0 0.1 249820 7640 ? Ss 15:02 0:00 /usr/sbin/httpd -DFOREGROUND
-apache 1942 0.0 0.0 250752 6012 ? S 15:02 0:00 /usr/sbin/httpd -DFOREGROUND
-apache 1943 0.0 0.0 250472 5952 ? S 15:02 0:00 /usr/sbin/httpd -DFOREGROUND
-apache 1944 0.0 0.0 250472 5916 ? S 15:02 0:00 /usr/sbin/httpd -DFOREGROUND
-apache 1945 0.0 0.0 250360 5764 ? S 15:02 0:00 /usr/sbin/httpd -DFOREGROUND
-```
-
-Furthermore, you can find other related processes by just looking for
-ones with `MIQ` in their name:
-
-```
-[root@manageiq-0 vmdb]# ps aux | grep miq
-root 333 27.7 4.2 555884 315916 ? Sl 14:58 3:59 MIQ Server

-root 2329 0.0 0.0 10640 972 ? S+ 15:13 0:00 grep --color=auto -i miq
-```
-
-Finally, *still in the rsh shell*, to test if the application is
-running correctly, we can request the application homepage. If the
-page is available the page title will be `ManageIQ: Login`:
-
-```
-[root@manageiq-0 vmdb]# curl -s -k https://localhost | grep -A2 '<title>'
-<title>
-ManageIQ: Login
-</title>
-```
-
-**Note:** The `-s` flag makes `curl` operations silent and the `-k`
-flag to ignore errors about untrusted certificates.

-# Additional Upstream Resources
-
-Below are some useful resources from the upstream project
-documentation. You may find these of value.
-
-* [Verify Setup Was Successful](https://github.com/ManageIQ/manageiq-pods#verifying-the-setup-was-successful)
-* [POD Access And Routes](https://github.com/ManageIQ/manageiq-pods#pod-access-and-routes)
-* [Troubleshooting](https://github.com/ManageIQ/manageiq-pods#troubleshooting)
-
-
-# Manual Cleanup
-
-At this time uninstallation/cleanup is still a manual process. You
-will have to follow a few steps to fully remove CFME from your
-cluster.
-
-Delete the project:
-
-* `oc delete project cfme`
-
-Delete the PVs:
-
-* `oc delete pv miq-pv01`
-* `oc delete pv miq-pv02`
-* `oc delete pv miq-pv03`
-
-Clean out the old PV data:
-
-* `cd /exports/`
-* `find miq* -type f -delete`
-* `find miq* -type d -delete`
-
-Remove the NFS exports:
-
-* `rm /etc/exports.d/openshift_cfme.exports`
-* `exportfs -ar`
-
-Delete the user:
-
-* `oc delete user cfme`
-
-**NOTE:** The `oc delete project cfme` command will return quickly
-however it will continue to operate in the background. Continue
-running `oc get project` after you've completed the other steps to
-monitor the pods and final project termination progress.
