Ironic Python Agent (IPA) Extra Hardware

This element adds the hardware python package to the Ironic Python Agent (IPA) ramdisk. It also installs several package dependencies of the hardware module.

The hardware package provides improved hardware introspection capabilities and supports benchmarking. This functionality may be enabled by adding the extra-hardware collector in the [DEFAULT] inspection_collectors option or the ipa-inspection-collectors kernel command line argument.

The following environment variables may be set to configure the element when doing a source-based installation:

  • DIB_IPA_HARDWARE_PACKAGE the full hardware Python package descriptor to use. If unset, DIB_IPA_HARDWARE_VERSION will be used.
  • DIB_IPA_HARDWARE_VERSION the version of the hardware package to install when DIB_IPA_HARDWARE_PACKAGE is unset. If unset, the latest version will be installed.
  • DIB_IPA_HARDWARE_RDO set to 0 to prevent the latest RDO package repositories being installed on CentOS-9-Stream (ignored when DIB_YUM_REPO_CONF is set).
