Recent releases of redhat grub2 will always fail when installing to EFI paths, to encourage a transition to the signed shim bootloader. Partition image deploys avoid calling grub2-install with the preserve-efi-assets functions. Deploying whole disk images doesn't require grub2-install. This leaves whole disk images installed onto softraid devices, which still attempts to call grub2-install. This change will still attempt to run grub2-install in this one remaining case, but will ignore any failure. A future enhancement can avoid calling grub2-install entirely so that non-redhat secure-boot capable images can keep their signed bootloaders.

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.

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