The standalone job at present has a high chance of failure due to two separate things occuring: 1) The deployed nodes from raid tests can be left in a dirty state as the raid configuration remains and is chosen as the root device for the next deployment. IF this is chosen by any job, such as rescue or a deployment test that attempts to login, then the job fails with unable to ssh. The fix for this is in the ironic-tempest-plugin but we need to get other fixes into stablilize the gate first. https://review.opendev.org/#/c/757141/ 2) Long running scenarios run in cleaning such as deployment with RAID in the standalone suite can encounter conditions where the conductor tries to send the next command along before the present configuration command has completed. An example is downloading the image is still running, while a heartbeat has occured in the background and the conductor then seeks to perform a second action. This then causes the entire deployment to fail, even though it was transitory. This should be a relatively easy fix. https://review.opendev.org/759906 Also disabling ipa-tempest-bios-ipmi-direct-src and ipa-tempest-bios-ipmi-iscsi-src for the time being, will revert in https://review.opendev.org/757812 Change-Id: I08c8c258587dd3786dfa92e7879a80c80971d7df
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.
