Collection of the Finnish Grid and Cloud Infrastructure Ansible playbooks

Used in production in >9 uniform HPC clusters.

[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/fgci-org/fgci-ansible.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/fgci-org/fgci-ansible)

[Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/fgci-org/fgci-ansible)

## Physical Hardware:
- The clusters are made with the same basic building blocks:
- One admin node (hypervisor for one grid (middleware) and one install node (slurm services, git mirror, pxe/dhcp))
- One login node
- One NFS node for two shared filesystems ( /home and /scratch )
- X Compute ( and Y GPU nodes )
- Ethernet and Infiniband networks

## Software Stack:
- [Ansible](http://ansible.com/) (ansible-pull is used on the compute nodes, push mode on the rest)
- CentOS 7
- [CVMFS](https://cernvm.cern.ch/portal/filesystem) for software distribution á la modules
- [Nordugrid ARC](http://www.nordugrid.org/arc/)
- [SLURM](https://slurm.schedmd.com/)

# Minimally Descriptive Configuration:
- clone this repo
- make an ansible inventory/hosts file (there is an example file in the examples/ dir)
- install required ansible roles from external repositories with:

ansible-galaxy install -r requirements.yml
or
sh tools/pullReqs.sh

- Copy dir examples/group_vars to the repository root dir, ( fgci-ansible/group_vars )
- Edit group_vars files with your system configuration parameters
- Make sure that all host_vars or group_vars files end with .yml or .yaml

## Running:

Basic Usage Example, more details on https://confluence.csc.fi/display/FGCI/FGCI+Cluster+deployment+and+installation+guide (restricted access):

ansible-playbook -u ssh-user -i hosts site.yml --tags user --diff

## Site local addons
Site local addons can be added via the following playbooks:
- admin\_local\_play.yml
- compute\_local\_play.yml
- grid\_local\_play.yml
- install\_local\_play.yml
- login\_local\_play.yml
- nfs\_local\_play.yml
