A new era of accelerated innovation Forever changing how consumers and businesses interact, enabling new opportunities
Workloads from social media sites, search engines which are data intensive but not compute intensive continue to use x86 server CPUs designed for compute-intensive enterprise applications thus underutilizing compute capacity and wasting energy.
Administrators pay for the cost of a premium CPU although processor utilization levels is as low as 20% or even less
Administrators continue to use virtualization to address the low CPU utilization problem,
which does not adequately address the needs of scale-out applications and web serving
IT administrators continue to manage, power and cool sheer number of devices in hyper scale environment
Workloads that are data intensive will use software defined servers with energy-efficient CPUs enabling optimal utilization of compute capacity at low energy
Compute cost will become proportional to CPU utilization
Extreme scale-out with optimal compute utilization will be enabled
Management of devices in hyper-scale environment will be simplified for IT
Administrators due to the federated architecture with shared components for power, cooling, and management
• Nova baremetal component is added to support HP Moonshot provisioning
• Quantum configuration and self service dashboard were updated Setup and Installation
• Nova baremetal component is customized to enable Moonshot Provisioning • IPMI Power Manager is customized to support HP Moonshot HP Moonshot Provisioning
• Single FLAT network created to support baremetal provisioning • Quantum DHCP disabled as it conflicts DNSMASQ to support PXE booting FLAT Network Support
• New scripts were developed to discover and auto-enroll all servers in the Moonshot System at one go to nova baremetal database
• Nova baremetal install script includes nova configuration files, new IPMI dirver and auto-enrollment script
• Scripts to startup required service, install dependent debian packages, run the DNSMASQ for PXE booting and configure PXE/tftpboot are also packages with the nova barclamp
• Quantum install script includes script to disable Quantum DHCP, create single FLAT network and to create subnet
Nova Baremetal and Quantum Configuration
• Region specific panels like flavor panel, image panel, quota panel were
customized to enable Moonshot provisioning • Instances panel updated to embed serial console output of the Moonshot
instances • The instances panel updated to reflect the correct IP Address assigned to the
