Singularity Recipe

# Dell EMC OpenManage Linux Remote Access Utilities v 9.1.0-2771 in a Singularity container 
# ie this definition file to contain Dell tools racadm / idracadm / omsa / ipmi
# runs on CentOS 7

# http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/drivers/DriversDetails?productCode=poweredge-r630&driverId=49T1M


# Main motivation is to run 
# /opt/dell/srvadmin/sbin/racadm set BIOS.ProcSettings.LogicalProc Disabled
# /opt/dell/srvadmin/sbin/racadm jobqueue create BIOS.Setup.1-1
# /opt/dell/srvadmin/sbin/racadm serveraction powercycle
# but the install into warewulf vNFS didnt work, most likely cuz read-only FS.
# Thus, placing the command in a container and let it run and write (transient flags) from there.  
# This also prevent the need of production node needing to be bloated up with dell osma packages.
#
# Singularity .def file adopted from https://github.com/singularityware/singularity/blob/master/examples/centos.def
#

### See README.rst for build info.
### 
### Container build by singularity will have usable racadm when container is build on a Dell machine
### but don't seems to work when build by Singularity-Hub (VM? machine wihouth working iDRAC)
###
### May just need to sym link racadm to the right place.  More investigation TBA.

%help
	Check if HyperThreading is enabled:
	pdsh -w n00[00-99].phi0 "singularity exec             ./dell_idracadm.img /opt/dell/srvadmin/sbin/racadm get BIOS.ProcSettings.LogicalProc"

	Turn off HyperThreading for many nodes at once using a sequence of commands:
	pdsh -w n00[00-99].phi0 "singularity exec -B /var/run ./dell_idracadm.img /opt/dell/srvadmin/sbin/racadm set BIOS.ProcSettings.LogicalProc Disabled"
	pdsh -w n00[00-99].phi0 "singularity exec -B /var/run ./dell_idracadm.img /opt/dell/srvadmin/sbin/racadm jobqueue create BIOS.Setup.1-1"
	pdsh -w n00[00-99].phi0 "singularity exec -B /var/run ./dell_idracadm.img /opt/dell/srvadmin/sbin/racadm serveraction powercycle"

	If "racadm help" return error like:
	  >> One Instance of Local RACADM is already executing. Exiting the current session.
	rm /var/run/local_racadm.pid
	From inside the container if ran singularity with -w

	NOTE: Singularity-hub build probably won't work for racadm
	racadm may need to have been build on a Dell box with access to determine version of iDRAC available...
	See README to build singularity locally (with writable image just in case)
