HPE "Virtual Install Devices" appear as read-only block devices, and may... or may not be visible depending on the bios configuration state. These devices can no longer be disabled from the bios settings so the simplest course of action seems to be that we should handle the existence of a read-only device. In the event of secure erase, this is treated as a hard failure case and a driver_internal_info flag has been added to enable a future bypass method for knowledgable operators.

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
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.
