dotmjs.ipmi_booted

A role to set the boot device via IPMI and start boot process

Requirements

Host that this role will be executed from (localhost by default, but overriden by ipmi_delegate var) must have network access to IPMI interface on target system.

Role Variables

• ipmi_host: hostname or IP address of IPMI interface
• ipmi_user: username with permission to set boot device and change power status
• ipmi_password: password for ipmi_user
• ipmi_bootdev (if omitted, defaults to 'default'): boot device to be used for next boot (see possible bootdev values here: https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/2.5/modules/ipmi_boot_module.html)
• ipmi_delegate (if omitted, defaults to 'localhost'): host to execute IPMI from, must have access to IPMI interface on remote system.

Example Playbook

Including an example of how to use your role (for instance, with variables passed in as parameters) is always nice for users too:

- hosts: servers
  roles:
     - { role: dotmjs.ipmi_booted, ipmi_bootdev: 'network' }
