+# Introduction
+
+This role will allow a user to install CFME 4.6 or MIQ on an OCP
+3.7 cluster. The role provides customization options for overriding
+default deployment parameters. This role allows the user to deploy
+different installation flavors:
+
+* **Fully Podified** - In this way all application services are ran as
+  pods in the container platform.
+* **External Database** - In this way the application utilizes an
+  externally hosted database server. All other services are ran in the
+  container platform.
+
+This role includes the following storage class options:
+
+* NFS - **Default** - local, on cluster
+* NFS External - NFS somewhere else, like a storage appliance
+* Cloud Provider - Use automatic storage provisioning from your cloud
+  provider (*gce* or *aws*)
+* Preconfigured - **expert only**, assumes you created everything ahead
+  of time
+
+You may skip ahead to the [Getting Started](#getting-started) section
+now for examples of how to set up your Ansible inventory for various
+deployment configurations. However, you are **strongly urged** to
+first read through the [Configuration](#configuration) and
+[Customization](#customization) sections as well as the following
+[Important Notes](#important-notes).
+
+## Important Notes
+
+Not all parameters are present in **both** template versions (podified
+db and external db). For example, while the podified database template
+has a `POSTGRESQL_MEM_REQ` parameter, no such parameter is present in
+the external db template, as there is no need for this information due
+to there being no databases that require pods.
+
+*Be extra careful* if you are overriding template
+parameters. Including parameters not defined in a template **will
+cause errors**.
+
+**Container Provider Integration** - If you want add your container
+platform (OCP/Origin) as a *Container Provider* in CFME/MIQ then you
+must ensure that the infrastructure management hooks are installed.
+
+* During your OCP/Origin install, ensure that you have the
+  `openshift_use_manageiq` parameter set to `true` in your inventory
+  at install time. This will create a `management-infra` project and a
+  service account user.
+* After CFME/MIQ is installed, obtain the `management-admin` service
+  account token and copy it somewhere safe.
+
+```bash
+$ oc serviceaccounts get-token -n management-infra management-admin
+eyJhuGdiOiJSUzI1NiIsInR5dCI6IkpXVCJ9.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.B6sZLGD9O4vBu9MHwiG-C_4iEwjBXb7Af8BPw-LNlujDmHhOnQ-Oo4QxQKyj9edynfmDy2yutUyJ2Mm9HfDGWg4C9xhWImHoq6Nl7T5_9djkeGKkK7Ejvg4fA-IkrzEsZeQuluBvXnE6wvP0LCjUo_dx4pPyZJyp46teV9NqKQeDzeysjlMCyqp6AK6-Lj8ILG8YA6d_97HlzL_EgFBLAu0lBSn-uC_9J0gLysqBtK6TI0nExfhv9Bm1_5bdHEbKHPW7xIlYlI9AgmyTyhsQ6SoQWtL2khBjkG9TlPBq9wYJj9bzqgVZlqEfICZxgtXO7sYyuoje4y8lo0YQ0kZmig

+  `Containers` → `Providers` and select `⚙ Configuration` → `⊕
+  Add a new Containers Provider`
+
+*See the [upstream documentation](http://manageiq.org/docs/reference/latest/doc-Managing_Providers/miq/index.html#containers-providers) for additional information.*
+
+
+
+# Requirements
+
+The **default** requirements are listed in the table below. These can
+be overridden through customization parameters (See
+[Customization](#customization), below).
+
+**Note** that the application performance will suffer, or possibly
+even fail to deploy, if these requirements are not satisfied.
+
+
+| Item                | Requirement   | Description                                  | Customization Parameter       |
+|---------------------|---------------|----------------------------------------------|-------------------------------|
+| Application Memory  | `≥ 4.0 Gi`    | Minimum required memory for the application  | `APPLICATION_MEM_REQ`         |
+| Application Storage | `≥ 5.0 Gi`    | Minimum PV size required for the application | `APPLICATION_VOLUME_CAPACITY` |
+| PostgreSQL Memory   | `≥ 6.0 Gi`    | Minimum required memory for the database     | `POSTGRESQL_MEM_REQ`          |
+| PostgreSQL Storage  | `≥ 15.0 Gi`   | Minimum PV size required for the database    | `DATABASE_VOLUME_CAPACITY`    |
+| Cluster Hosts       | `≥ 3`         | Number of hosts in your cluster              |                               |
+
+The implications of this table are summarized below:
+
+* You need several cluster nodes
+* Your cluster nodes must have lots of memory available
+* You will need several GiB's of storage available, either locally or
+  on your cloud provider
+* PV sizes can be changed by providing override values to template
+  parameters (see also: [Customization](#customization))
+
+# Role Variables
+
+The following is a table of the publicly exposed variables that may be
+used in your Ansible inventory to control the behavior of this
+installer.
+
+
+| Variable                                       | Required | Default                        | Description                         |
+|------------------------------------------------|:--------:|:------------------------------:|-------------------------------------|
+| `openshift_management_project`                       | **No**   | `openshift-management`               | Namespace for the installation.     |
+| `openshift_management_project_description`           | **No**   | *CloudForms Management Engine* | Namespace/project description.      |
+| `openshift_management_install_management`                  | **No**   | `false`                        | Boolean, set to `true` to install the application |
+| **PRODUCT CHOICE**  | | | | |
+| `openshift_management_app_template`                  | **No**   | `miq-template`                 | The project flavor to install. Choices: <ul><li>`miq-template`: ManageIQ using a podified database</li> <li> `miq-template-ext-db`: ManageIQ using an external database</li> <li>`cfme-template`: CloudForms using a podified database<sup>[1]</sup></li> <li> `cfme-template-ext-db`: CloudForms using an external database.<sup>[1]</sup></li></ul> |
+| **STORAGE CLASSES** | | | | |
+| `openshift_management_storage_class`                 | **No**   | `nfs`                          | Storage type to use, choices: <ul><li>`nfs` - Best used for proof-of-concept installs. Will setup NFS on a cluster host (defaults to your first master in the inventory file) to back the required PVCs. The application requires a PVC and the database (which may be hosted externally) may require a second. PVC minimum required sizes are 5GiB for the MIQ application, and 15GiB for the PostgreSQL database (20GiB minimum available space on a volume/partition if used specifically for NFS purposes)</li> <li>`nfs_external` - You are using an external NFS server, such as a netapp appliance. See the [Configuration - Storage Classes](#storage-classes) section below for required information.</li> <li>`preconfigured` - This CFME role will do NOTHING to modify storage settings. This option assumes expert knowledge and that you have done everything required ahead of time.</li> <li>`cloudprovider` - You are using an OCP cloudprovider integration for your storage class. For this to work you must have already configured the required inventory parameters for your cloud provider. Ensure `openshift_cloudprovider_kind` is defined (aws or gce) and that the applicable cloudprovider parameters are provided. |
+| `openshift_management_storage_nfs_external_hostname` | **No**   | `false`                        | If you are using an *external NFS server*, such as a netapp appliance, then you must set the hostname here. Leave the value as `false` if you are not using external NFS. <br /> *Additionally*: **External NFS REQUIRES** that you create the NFS exports that will back the application PV and optionally the database PV.
+| `openshift_management_storage_nfs_base_dir`          | **No**   | `/exports/`                    | If you are using **External NFS** then you may set the base path to the exports location here. <br />**Local NFS Note**: You *may* also change this value if you want to change the default path used for local NFS exports. |
+| `openshift_management_storage_nfs_local_hostname`    | **No**   | `false`                        | If you do not have an `[nfs]` group in your inventory, or want to simply manually define the local NFS host in your cluster, set this parameter to the hostname of the preferred NFS server. The server must be a part of your OCP/Origin cluster. |
+| **CUSTOMIZATION OPTIONS** | | | | |
+| `openshift_management_template_parameters`           | **No**   | `{}`                           | A dictionary of any parameters you want to override in the application/pv templates.
+
+* <sup>[1]</sup> The `cfme-template`s will be available and
+  automatically detected once CFME 4.6 is released
+
+
+# Getting Started
+
+Below are some inventory snippets that can help you get started right
+away.
+
+If you want to install CFME/MIQ at the same time you install your
+OCP/Origin cluster, ensure that `openshift_management_install_management` is set
+to `true` in your inventory. Call the standard
+`playbooks/byo/config.yml` playbook to begin the cluster and CFME/MIQ
+installation.
+
+If you are installing CFME/MIQ on an *already provisioned cluster*
+then you can call the CFME/MIQ playbook directly:
+
+```
+$ ansible-playbook -v -i <YOUR_INVENTORY> playbooks/byo/openshift-management/config.yml
+```
+
+*Note: Use `miq-template` in the following examples for ManageIQ installs*
+
+## All Defaults
+
+This example is the simplest. All of the default values and choices
+are used. This will result in a fully podified CFME installation. All
+application components, as well as the PostgreSQL database will be
+created as pods in the container platform.
+
+```ini
+[OSEv3:vars]
+openshift_management_app_template=cfme-template
+```
+
+## External NFS Storage
+
+This is as the previous example, except that instead of using local
+NFS services in the cluster it will use an external NFS server (such
+as a storage appliance). Note the two new parameters:
+
+* `openshift_management_storage_class` - set to `nfs_external`
+* `openshift_management_storage_nfs_external_hostname` - set to the hostname
+  of the NFS server
+
+```ini
+[OSEv3:vars]
+openshift_management_app_template=cfme-template
+openshift_management_storage_class=nfs_external
+openshift_management_storage_nfs_external_hostname=nfs.example.com
+```
+
+If the external NFS host exports directories under a different parent
+directory, such as `/exports/hosted/prod` then we would add an
+additional parameter, `openshift_management_storage_nfs_base_dir`:
+
+```ini
+# ...
+openshift_management_storage_nfs_base_dir=/exports/hosted/prod
+```
+
+## Override PV sizes
+
+This example will override the PV sizes. Note that we set the PV sizes
+in the template parameters, `openshift_management_template_parameters`. This
+ensures that the application/db will be able to make claims on created
+PVs without clobbering each other.
+
+```ini
+[OSEv3:vars]
+openshift_management_app_template=cfme-template
+openshift_management_template_parameters={'APPLICATION_VOLUME_CAPACITY': '10Gi', 'DATABASE_VOLUME_CAPACITY': '25Gi'}
+```
+
+## Override Memory Requirements
+
+In a test or proof-of-concept installation you may need to reduce the
+application/database memory requirements to fit within your
+capacity. Note that reducing memory limits can result in reduced
+performance or a complete failure to initialize the application.
+
+```ini
+[OSEv3:vars]
+openshift_management_app_template=cfme-template
+openshift_management_template_parameters={'APPLICATION_MEM_REQ': '3000Mi', 'POSTGRESQL_MEM_REQ': '1Gi', 'ANSIBLE_MEM_REQ': '512Mi'}
+```
+
+Here we have instructed the installer to process the application
+template with the parameter `APPLICATION_MEM_REQ` set to `3000Mi`,
+`POSTGRESQL_MEM_REQ` set to `1Gi`, and `ANSIBLE_MEM_REQ` set to
+`512Mi`.
+
+These parameters can be combined with the PV size override parameters
+displayed in the previous example.
+
+## External PostgreSQL Database
+
+To use an external database you must change the
+`openshift_management_app_template` parameter value to `miq-template-ext-db`
+or `cfme-template-ext-db`.
+
+Additionally, database connection information **must** be supplied in
+the `openshift_management_template_parameters` customization parameter. See
+[Customization - Database - External](#external) for more
+information.
+
+```ini
+[OSEv3:vars]
+openshift_management_app_template=cfme-template-ext-db
+openshift_management_template_parameters={'DATABASE_USER': 'root', 'DATABASE_PASSWORD': 'r1ck&M0r7y', 'DATABASE_IP': '10.10.10.10', 'DATABASE_PORT': '5432', 'DATABASE_NAME': 'cfme'}
+```
+
+# Limitations
+
+This release is the first OpenShift CFME release in the OCP 3.7
+series. It is not complete yet.
+
+## Product Choice
+
+Due to staggered release dates, **CFME support is not
+integrated**. Presently this role will only deploy a ManageIQ
+installation. This role will be updated once CFME 4.6 is released and
+this limitation note will be removed.
+
+# Configuration
+
+Before you can deploy CFME you must decide *how* you want to deploy
+it. There are two major decisions to make:
+
+1. Do you want an external, or a podified database?
+1. Which storage class will back your PVs?
+
+## Database
+
+### Podified
+
+Any `POSTGRES_*` or `DATABASE_*` template parameters in
+[miq-template.yaml](files/templates/manageiq/miq-template.yaml) or
+[cfme-template.yaml](files/templates/cloudforms/cfme-template.yaml)
+may be customized through the `openshift_management_template_parameters`
+hash.
+
+### External
+
+Any `POSTGRES_*` or `DATABASE_*` template parameters in
+[miq-template-ext-db.yaml](files/templates/manageiq/miq-template-ext-db.yaml)
+or
+[cfme-template-ext-db.yaml](files/templates/cloudforms/cfme-template-ext-db.yaml)
+may be customized through the `openshift_management_template_parameters`
+hash.
+
+External PostgreSQL databases require you to provide database
+connection parameters. You must set the required connection keys in
+the `openshift_management_template_parameters` parameter in your
+inventory. The following keys are required:
+
+* `DATABASE_USER`
+* `DATABASE_PASSWORD`
+* `DATABASE_IP`
+* `DATABASE_PORT` - *note: Most PostgreSQL servers run on port `5432`*
+* `DATABASE_NAME`
+
+Your inventory would contain a line similar to this:
+
+```ini
+[OSEv3:vars]
+openshift_management_app_template=cfme-template-ext-db
+openshift_management_template_parameters={'DATABASE_USER': 'root', 'DATABASE_PASSWORD': 'r1ck&M0r7y', 'DATABASE_IP': '10.10.10.10', 'DATABASE_PORT': '5432', 'DATABASE_NAME': 'cfme'}
+```
+
+**Note** the new value for the `openshift_management_app_template`
+parameter, `cfme-template-ext-db` (ManageIQ installations would use
+`miq-template-ext-db` instead).
+
+At run time you may run into errors similar to this:
+
+```

+```
+
+Or like this:
+
+```

+```
+
+While intimidating at first, there are useful bits of information in
+here. Examine the error output closely and we can tell exactly what is
+wrong.
+
+In the first example we see `Endpoints in version \"v1\" cannot be
+handled as a Endpoints: [pos 218]: json: decNum: got first char
+...`. This is because in my example I used the value `foo` for the
+parameter `DATABASE_PORT`.
+
+In the second example we see `The Endpoints \"postgresql\" is invalid:
+subsets[0].addresses[0].ip: Invalid value: \"doo\": must be a valid IP
+address ...`. This is because in my example I used the value `doo` in
+the `DATABASE_IP` field.
+
+Luckily for us when the templates are processed behind the scenes they
+are also running type checking validation. So, don't worry, just look
+closely at the errors and ensure you are providing the correct values
+for each parameter.
+
+## Storage Classes
+
+OpenShift CFME supports several storage class options.
+
+### NFS (Default)
+
+The NFS storage class is best suited for proof-of-concept and
+test/demo deployments. It is also the **default** storage class for
+deployments. No additional configuration is required for this
+choice.
+
+Customization is provided through the following role variables:
+
+* `openshift_management_storage_nfs_base_dir`
+* `openshift_management_storage_nfs_local_hostname`
+
+### NFS External
+
+External NFS leans on pre-configured NFS servers to provide exports
+for the required PVs. For external NFS you must have:
+
+* For CFME: a `cfme-app` and optionally a `cfme-db` (for podified database) exports
+* For ManageIQ: an `miq-app` and optionally an `miq-db` (for podified database) exports
+
+Configuration is provided through the following role variables:
+
+* `openshift_management_storage_nfs_external_hostname`
+* `openshift_management_storage_nfs_base_dir`
+
+The `openshift_management_storage_nfs_external_hostname` parameter must be
+set to the hostname or IP of your external NFS server.
+
+If `/exports` is not the parent directory to your exports then you
+must set the base directory via the
+`openshift_management_storage_nfs_base_dir` parameter.
+
+For example, if your server export is `/exports/hosted/prod/cfme-app`
+then you must set
+`openshift_management_storage_nfs_base_dir=/exports/hosted/prod`.
+
+### Cloud Provider
+
+CFME can also use a cloud provider storage to back required PVs. For
+this functionality to work you must have also configured the
+`openshift_cloudprovider_kind` variable and all associated parameters
+specific to your chosen cloud provider.
+
+Using this storage class, when the application is created the required
+PVs will automatically be provisioned using the configured cloud
+provider storage integration.
+
+There are no additional variables to configure the behavior of this
+storage class.
+
+### Preconfigured (Expert Configuration Only)
+
+The *preconfigured* storage class implies that you know exactly what
+you're doing and that all storage requirements have been taken care
+ahead of time. Typically this means that you've already created the
+correctly sized PVs.
+
+There are no additional variables to configure the behavior of this
+storage class.
+
+# Customization
+
+Application and database parameters may be customized by means of the
+`openshift_management_template_parameters` inventory parameter.
+
+**For example**, if you wanted to reduce the memory requirement of the
+PostgreSQL pod then you could configure the parameter like this:
+
+`openshift_management_template_parameters={'POSTGRESQL_MEM_REQ': '1Gi'}`
+
+When the CFME template is processed `1Gi` will be used for the value
+of the `POSTGRESQL_MEM_REQ` template parameter.
+
+Any parameter in the `parameters` section of the
+[miq-template.yaml](files/templates/manageiq/miq-template.yaml) or
+[miq-template-ext-db.yaml](files/templates/manageiq/miq-template-ext-db.yaml)
+may be overridden through the `openshift_management_template_parameters`
+hash. This applies to **CloudForms** installations as well:
+[cfme-template.yaml](files/templates/cloudforms/cfme-template.yaml),
+[cfme-template-ext-db.yaml](files/templates/cloudforms/cfme-template-ext-db.yaml).
+
+
+# Uninstall
+
+This role includes a playbook to uninstall and erase the CFME/MIQ
+installation:
