Some hardware is very well intentioned. However this intention can result in the UEFI NVRAM table being full which prevents us from adding new records to the table. We can't be sure what to delete, so in this case some operators just need the ability to tell ironic "it is okay if this fails, it will still work." The added ``ignore_bootloader_failure`` option adds this capability which can be set per-node either in the agent configuation via the ramdisk image, or in the pxe_append_params configuration parameter for the node itself with a ``ipa-ignore-bootloader-failure`` option in order to prevent the failure from being raised.

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

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