Julia Kreger 6324b37b43 Fix NVMe Partition image on UEFI
The _manage_uefi code has a check where it attempts to just
identify the precise partition number of the device, in order
for configuration to be parsed and passed. However, the same code
did not handle the existence of a `p1` partition instead of just a
partition #1. This is because the device naming format is different
with NVMe and Software RAID.

Likely, this wasn't an issue with software raid due to how complex the
code interaction is, but the docs also indicate to use only whole disk
images in that case.

This patch was pulled down my one RH's professional services folks
who has confirmed it does indeed fix the issue at hand. This is noted
as a public comment on the Red Hat bugzilla.

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.
