The current way of prioritizing ID/DM_SERIAL_SHORT or ID/DM_SERIAL works in most cases but the udev values seem to be unreliable. Based on experience it looks like lsblk might be a better source of truth than udev in regerards to serial number information. This commit makes lsblk the default provider of block device serial number information. Story: 2010263 Task: 46161 Change-Id: I16039b46676f1a61b32ee7ca7e6d526e65829113
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.
