Zane Bitter 746f65bd84 Fix getting memory size in some lshw output
Due to a regression in lshw introduced by
https://github.com/lyonel/lshw/pull/60, there are some versions in the
wild that do not return sizes for memory banks <32GiB. In those cases,
work around the problem by looking at the top-level size (if available)
to find the total size. Previously we assumed that we only needed the
top-level size when there was no list of memory banks.

The issue is fixed upstream by https://github.com/lyonel/lshw/pull/65,
but the erroneous patch is still present in the lshw-B.02.19.2-5.el8
package in CentOS 8.4 and 8.5.

Note from Backport to Victoria branch:
The stable test data was moved sometime during the Wallaby development
cycle to a separate file, where as in Victoria and earlier, it is based
in the test file itself. The required content was moved into the test
file in line with where it was in the later versions.

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.
