heatinfoblox 2.0.0

OpenStack Heat resources for integration with Infoblox appliances.

Features
This package enables the configuration of Infoblox DDI appliances, as well
as the management of physical network resources via the Infoblox NetMRI
product.

With these resources you can:

Add and remove members from an Infoblox Grid
Add and remove grid members from a nameserver group
Configure Anycast loopback addresses on grid members [coming soon]
Configure OSPF and BGP protocols to advertise Anycast addresses [coming soon]
Execute aribtrary jobs on the NetMRI
Manage physical resources with a Heat resource that will execute different
create and delete jobs on the NetMRI when a resource is created and deleted.

Installation
You may install this module directly from PyPi.

OpenStack Configuration
You must update the plugin_dirs parameter in the heat.conf file
to include the resources from this module. Typically this would mean
adding /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/heat_infoblox.
Also you must add lock_path under oslo_concurrency stanza.
For security, the specified directory should only be writable by the user
running the heat process:
plugin_dirs = /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/heat_infoblox,/usr/lib64/heat,/usr/lib/heat
[oslo_concurrency]
# replace it with a directory writable by the user running the heat process
lock_path = /home/user/directory_for_locks
The Heat engine must be restarted after installation and configuration of the
package.
Prior releases required configuration of connectivity parameters in the
heat.conf file. This is no longer necessary, and those parameters are no
longer read. Instead, you include a connection map in the resource itself.

Infoblox Configuration
No special configuration is necessary.

Using the Heat Resources
Infoblox::Grid::Member
After installing the package, you should see the Infoblox::Grid::Member
resource available in the Orchestration > Resource Types section of the
OpenStack Horizon UI.
This resource represents a grid member configuration within the GM. It must
be created prior to the spin up of the Nova server associated with the grid
member.
An example template using this resources is in the doc/templates directory of
this package.
Infoblox::Grid::HaPair
This resource create an HA pair GM, not for adding an HA pair to an existing
grid.
Your should use Infoblox::Grid::Member with “ha_pair” set to True to add
HA pair member into grid.
Infoblox::Grid::NameServerGroupMember
This resource represents the membership of a grid member within a name server
group. It does not represent the name server group itself. The name server
group must be pre-created and configured on the GM.
The creation of this resource will add the specified member to the named
group, while the deletion of this resource will remove it. Only the management
of grid secondary members is implemented.
The example templates include use of this resource as well. It must be created
only after the Infoblox::Grid::Member has already been created.
For test purposes when using the included templates, you can run the setup.sh
script to create a nios use and tenant, and setup test networks.
Infoblox::NetMRI::Job
This resource executes an arbitrary job in the NetMRI upon creation. It does
nothing upon deletion.
Infoblox::NetMRI::ManagedResource
This resource executes an arbitrary job in the NetMRI upon creation, and a
different job upon deletion.

Enabling In DevStack
To enable use of Infoblox Heat resources in DevStack, add this repository as a
plugin:
enable_plugin heat-infoblox https://github.com/infobloxopen/heat-infoblox.git
This will add the heat-infoblox module in development mode.
