Julia Kreger 67eddfa7e3 Delete EFI boot entry duplicate labels first 
Some firmware seems to take an objection with EFI nvram
entries being deleted after one is added, resulting in the
entire entry table being reset to the last known good state.

This is problematic, as ultimately deployments can time out
if we previously booted with Networking, and the machine, while
commanded to do other wise, reboots back to networking regardless.

We will now delete entries first, before proceeding.

Additionally, for general use, this pattern may serve the
community better by avoiding cases where we would have
previously just relied upon efibootmgr[0] to warn us of duplicate
entries.

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.
