Julia Kreger 205f89a944 Skip read-only devices with metadata erase 
HPE "Virtual Install Devices" appear as read-only block
devices, and may... or may not be visible depending on the
bios configuration state.

These devices can no longer be disabled from the bios settings
so the simplest course of action seems to be that we should
handle the existence of a read-only device.

In the event of secure erase, this is treated as a hard failure
case and a driver_internal_info flag has been added to enable
a future bypass method for knowledgable operators.

Backport note: the unit tests have been modified to account for Python 2

Ironic Python Agent

Team and repository tags

Overview

An agent for controlling and deploying Ironic controlled baremetal nodes.

The ironic-python-agent works with the agent driver in Ironic to provision the node. Starting with ironic-python-agent running on a ramdisk on the unprovisioned node, Ironic makes API calls to ironic-python-agent to provision the machine. This allows for greater control and flexibility of the entire deployment process.

The ironic-python-agent may also be used with the original Ironic pxe drivers as of the Kilo OpenStack release.

Building the IPA deployment ramdisk

For more information see the Image Builder section of the Ironic Python Agent developer guide.

Using IPA with devstack

This is covered in the Deploying Ironic with DevStack section of the Ironic dev-quickstart guide.
