Julia Kreger 46a552c891 Test timeout extension for inspection
The default introspection time for shade may be too short for some
environments. As such, extending the timeout to be longer to provide
nodes an opportunity to boot, check-in, and reply with results.

The library default, which I believe is 900 seconds, was also based
on basic tests where I determined that _most_ systems should check-in
with-in based on:

 - 300 seconds to POST
 - 300 seconds to PXE
 - 300 seconds to Boot and start IPA.

ironic-inspect-node

Invokes ironic node introspection logic using the os_ironic_inspect module.

Requirements

None at this time. See Dependencies.

Role Variables

uuid: The UUID of the node to invoke ironic node introspection upon. This variable is not required if the node name is supplied as ironic requires unique names.

name: A node name to invoke inspection upon. This variable is not required if the node uuid value is supplied.

noauth_mode: Controls if the module is called in noauth mode. By default, this is the standard mode of operation, however if set to false, the role utilizes os_client_config which expects a clouds.yml file. More information about this file format can be found at: http://docs.openstack.org/developer/os-client-config/

cloud_name: Optional: String value defining a clouds.yaml entry for the ansible module to leverage. inspection_wait_timeout: Integer value in seconds, defaults to 1800. This value may need to be adjusted if the underlying shade library's default timeout is insufficent for a node to perform an inspection sequence with. The timeout assumption in the library was based upon there being three phases to complete an inspection sequence, BIOS POST, (i)PXE, and then booting of the ramdisk and IPA. In most cases, each phase should be completed under 300 seconds, although that will vary based upon the hardware configuration.

Dependencies

This role is dependent upon the os_ironic_inspect module being available for use.
