Stand Specification

For more complicated cases when you need to start an installation with several nodes (that are treated as baremetal nodes) you may use a stand specification. The stand specification is a YAML file that describes the Exordos installation — how many bootstrap nodes, how many baremetal nodes, their characteristics, and other parameters.

Use option --stand-spec or -s for the bootstrap command to specify a file with the stand description:

exordos bootstrap -i output/exordos-core.raw -f -m core -s data/stands/stand-small.yaml

Format

Field	Description
name	Name of the stand (used as a prefix for created VMs)
bootstraps	List of bootstrap nodes. Each entry defines memory (MB) and cores
baremetals	List of baremetal nodes. Each entry defines name, memory (MB), and cores

Example

name: dev-andromeda
bootstraps:
  - memory: 2048
    cores: 2
baremetals:
  - name: node-alpha
    memory: 2048
    cores: 2
  - name: node-beta
    memory: 2048
    cores: 2

This stand creates one bootstrap node and two baremetal nodes, each with 2 GB RAM and 2 CPU cores.
