Provisioning

OBSOLETE: This page is now obsolete, new location at https://alice-flp.docs.cern.ch/system-configuration/foreman/

FLP provisioning is performed by using Foreman and Ansible.
There are 2 instances of Foreman:

• For lab and detector commissioning servers: https://aidrefsrv20.cern.ch
• For P2 servers: https://alio2-cr1-prov01-mgmt.cern.ch

Documentation on how to write Ansible roles can be found here.
