Julia Kreger 0511bb337a Add libaio engine for fio on Centos/Rhel9
fio packaging previously contained everything in one RPM,
but at some point for EL9 builds, this was split into multiple
RPMs where each engine used was put into it's own RPM.

In order for integrated disk benchmarking to work with
introspection, we use python-hardware. Python-hardware uses
fio, with libaio as a default option.

So now, we will attempt to install the other package which
should make users of the feature happier as their ramdisk
images will come with the contents required to do a benchmark
upfront.

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.
