Julia Kreger c77a7df851 Extend retries to 9, 10 seconds apart. 
The download retry interval was previously five seconds which is
not long enough to recover after a hard network connectivity break
where we may be reliant upon network port forwarding hold-down
timers or even routing protocol route propogation to recover
communication.

Previously the time value was 5 seconds, with 3 attempts, meaning
15 seconds total ignoring the error detection timeouts.

Now it is 10 seconds, with 10 attempts, meaning 100 seconds before
the error detection timeouts.

Ironic Python Agent

Team and repository tags

image

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

For more information see the Image Builder section of the Ironic Python Agent developer guide.

Using IPA with devstack

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