Code Issues Proposed changes

Stop documenting netboot and the boot_option capability 

Both will be removed soon. The documentation change is separated
to reduce the size of the final patch.

.. _local-boot-partition-images:
Local boot with partition images
--------------------------------
The Bare Metal service supports local boot with partition images, meaning that
after the deployment the node's subsequent reboots won't happen via PXE or
Virtual Media. Instead, it will boot from a local boot loader installed on
the disk.
.. note:: Whole disk images, on the contrary, support only local boot, and use
it by default.
It's important to note that in order for this to work the image being
deployed with Bare Metal service **must** contain ``grub2`` installed within it.
Enabling the local boot is different when Bare Metal service is used with
Compute service and without it.
The following sections will describe both methods.
.. _ironic-python-agent: https://docs.openstack.org/ironic-python-agent/latest/
Enabling local boot with Compute service
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To enable local boot we need to set a capability on the bare metal node,
for example::
baremetal node set <node-uuid> --property capabilities="boot_option:local"
Nodes having ``boot_option`` set to ``local`` may be requested by adding
an ``extra_spec`` to the Compute service flavor, for example::
openstack flavor set baremetal --property capabilities:boot_option="local"
.. note::
If the node is configured to use ``UEFI``, Bare Metal service will create
an ``EFI partition`` on the disk and switch the partition table format to
``gpt``. The ``EFI partition`` will be used later by the boot loader
(which is installed from the deploy ramdisk).
.. _local-boot-without-compute:
Enabling local boot without Compute
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Since adding ``capabilities`` to the node's properties is only used by
the nova scheduler to perform more advanced scheduling of instances,
we need a way to enable local boot when Compute is not present. To do that
we can simply specify the capability via the ``instance_info`` attribute
of the node, for example::
baremetal node set <node-uuid> --instance-info capabilities='{"boot_option": "local"}'

.. warning::
Partition images are only supported with GNU/Linux operating systems.
.. warning::
If you plan on using local boot, your partition images must contain GRUB2
bootloader tools to enable ironic to set up the bootloader during deploy.
Local vs network boot
---------------------
The Bare Metal service supports booting user instances either using a local
bootloader or using the driver's boot interface (e.g. via PXE_ or iPXE_
protocol in case of the ``pxe`` interface).
Network boot cannot be used with certain architectures (for example, when no
tenant networks have access to the control plane).
Additional considerations are related to the ``pxe`` boot interface, and other
boot interfaces based on it:
* Local boot makes node's boot process independent of the Bare Metal conductor
managing it. Thus, nodes are able to reboot correctly, even if the Bare Metal
TFTP or HTTP service is down.
* Network boot (and iPXE) must be used when booting nodes from remote volumes,
if the driver does not support attaching volumes out-of-band.
The default boot option for the cloud can be changed via the Bare Metal service
configuration file, for example:
.. code-block:: ini
[deploy]
default_boot_option = local
This default can be overridden by setting the ``boot_option`` capability on a
node. See :ref:`local-boot-partition-images` for details.
.. note::
Currently, local boot is used by default. It's safer to set
the ``default_boot_option`` explicitly.
For the Bare Metal service to set up the bootloader during deploy, your
partition images must container either GRUB2 bootloader or ready-to-use
EFI artifacts.
