This patches updates the get_clean_steps() method to make the erase_devices step abortable. Erasing devices is something that can be cancelled without damaging the machine. When a clean step is aborted the provision state of the Ironic node will go to CLEANFAIL state. The operator can then do what is needed to fix the problem (i.e network booting issues) and restart the cleaning later on. Partial-Bug: #1455825 Change-Id: Ic181ac3712810c6f6925e8b627ee79e77ecf4d83
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.
