When using virtual media, restarting ironic-python-agent leads to errors like 'File exists'. This is because we use static directory (/vmedia_mnt) as mount path and we don't remove it. It's better to use mkdtemp to create a temporary directory for mounting virtual media device. Change-Id: Ibb4c3d3a2024cf51ef198bd396fb9e86ad72a320
ironic-python-agent
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 ==================================
See CoreOS Image builder <https://github.com/openstack/ironic-python-agent/tree/master/imagebuild/coreos>
Using IPA with devstack
This is covered in the Deploying Ironic with DevStack <http://docs.openstack.org/developer/ironic/dev/dev-quickstart.html#deploying-ironic-with-devstack> section of the Ironic dev-quickstart guide.
