features:
- Support for PXE driver substrate is now installed
which utilizes iSCSI to write the disk image to the
target node. By default, this support is enabled.
upgrade:
- PXE driver substrate support is now enabled by default.
If a user wishes to prevent this, the ``enable_pxe_drivers``
setting should be set to ``false``.
security:
- PXE driver support substrate has been added, however
this requires the ability for the conductor to connect
to the node being provisioned via iSCSI. As a result
sudoers configuration is updated by default to enable
ironic to initiate the iSCSI connection and apply
the image to the remote disk. As a reminder, users
should default to using agent drivers as cleaning
support does not exist in the PXE drivers.
fixes:
- PXE driver support substrate was previously incomplete
and has been revised to properly support PXE drivers.
This has been tested on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.
issues:
- Basic testing has revealed that PXE drivers may not
result in the configurtion drive being written out
with the current configuration of bifrost.
