setup_zypper_repos

Ansible role for setting up zypper repositories for SUSE OpenStack Cloud.

Usage

Zypper repositories will be added according to the cloudsource value.

The following table presents the possible values for cloudsource and the resulting repositories added.

cloudsource Cloud-Pool SLES-Pool SLES-Updates Cloud-Updates SLES-Updates-test Cloud-Updates-test
stagingcloudX SUSE-OpenStack-Cloud-X-devel-staging X X *
develcloudX SUSE-OpenStack-Cloud-X-devel X X *
GMX SUSE-OpenStack-Cloud-X-Pool X X * *
GMX+up SUSE-OpenStack-Cloud-X-Pool X X X * *
hosdevelcloud8 HPE-Helion-OpenStack-8-devel X X *
hosGM8 HPE-Helion-OpenStack-8-Pool X X * *
hosGM8+up HPE-Helion-OpenStack-8-Pool X X X * *
cloud9MX ISO milestoneX(ibs-mirror.prv.suse.net) X X * *
cloud9RCX ISO rcX(ibs-mirror.prv.suse.net) X X * *
cloud9GMC ISO GMC(ibs-mirror.prv.suse.net) X X * *

X on cloudsource and Cloud-Pool represents the cloud version (8 or 9) and the SLES repositories will be configured according to the cloud version (SLES12-SP3 for Cloud 8 and SLES12-SP4 for Cloud 9). As there is no HOS version for cloud 9, cloudsource values for HOS are limited to cloud 8.

For other columns:

  • X means that the repository will always be added
  • * means that the repository will always be added unless the updates_test_enabled parameter is explicitly set to False.

Update-test Repositories

To enable the SLES/Cloud Updates-test repositories override the following variable:

updates_test_enabled: True

Maintenance Updates

To add specific maintenance update repositories, override the following variables with a list of MU ID's (separeted by comma).

maint_updates: "1234,4321,2233"

IMPORTANT: updates_test_enabled must be disabled when testing maintenance updates.

Extra Repositories

It is also possible to use the role to add extra zypper repositories from the URL by overriding the extra_repos variable, for example:

extra_repos: "http://download.suse.de/ibs/.../,http://download.suse.de/ibs/.../"

The packages from those repositories will be available to all cloud nodes through a new repository with a higher priority, meaning that those packages will be installed even if there is a newer package available on other repositories.

Source Repositories

Override the following variables to use different source repositories for SLES, Cloud or Maintenance updates:

clouddata_server: "provo-clouddata.cloud.suse.de"
maintenance_updates_server: "dist.suse.de"

Mount vs Rsync

The setup_zypper_repos role uses different strategies for setting up the repository locally.

  • mount: faster but risky, as any change on the remote repository can affect the system.
  • rsync: slower but safer, as it will copy all data from the remote repository once and all subsequent tasks will use the local repository.

By default, as the [SLES/Cloud]-Pool repositories are not frequently updated the role will use mount for those repositories and rsync for the rest.
