Debugging the agent is a huge pain point. Tracebacks are rarely logged, error messages are often only returned via the API, and lack of info logging makes it hard to determine where some failures occur. Some errors only return a 500 with no error message or logs. Change-Id: I0a127de6e4abf62e20d5c5ad583ba46738604d2d
ironic-python-agent
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 ==================================
See CoreOS Image builder <https://github.com/openstack/ironic-python-agent/tree/master/imagebuild/coreos>
Using IPA with devstack
This is covered in the Deploying Ironic with DevStack <http://docs.openstack.org/developer/ironic/dev/dev-quickstart.html#deploying-ironic-with-devstack> section of the Ironic dev-quickstart guide.
