Full release details are available -on Launchpad: https://launchpad.net/ironic/liberty/4.2.0. - -* Deprecated the bash ramdisk - - The older bash ramdisk built by diskimage-builder is now deprecated and - support will be removed at the beginning of the "N" development cycle. Users - should migrate to a ramdisk running ironic-python-agent, which now also - supports the pxe_* drivers that the bash ramdisk was responsible for. - For more info on building an ironic-python-agent ramdisk, see: - http://docs.openstack.org/developer/ironic/deploy/install-guide.html#building-or-downloading-a-deploy-ramdisk-image - -* Raised API version to 1.14 - - * 1.12 allows setting RAID properties for a node; however support for - putting this configuration on a node is not yet implemented for in-tree - drivers; this will be added in a future release. - - * 1.13 adds a new 'abort' verb to the provision state API. This may be used - to abort cleaning for nodes in the CLEANWAIT state. - - * 1.14 makes the following endpoints discoverable in the API: - - * /v1/nodes//states - - * /v1/drivers//properties - -* Implemented a new Boot interface for drivers - - This change enhances the driver interface for driver authors, and should not - affect users of Ironic, by splitting control of booting a server from the - DeployInterface. The BootInterface is responsible for booting an image on a - server, while the DeployInterface is responsible for deploying a tenant image - to a server. - - This has been implemented in most in-tree drivers, and is a - backwards-compatible change for out-of-tree drivers. The following in-tree - drivers will be updated in a forth-coming release: - - * agent_ilo - - * agent_irmc - - * iscsi_ilo - - * iscsi_irmc - -* Implemented a new RAID interface for drivers - - This change enhances the driver interface for driver authors. Drivers may - begin implementing this interface to support RAID configuration for nodes. - This is not yet implemented for any in-tree drivers. - -* Image size is now checked before deployment with agent drivers - - The agent must download the tenant image in full before writing it to disk. - As such, the server being deployed must have enough RAM for running the - agent and storing the image. This is now checked before Ironic tells the - agent to deploy an image. An optional config [agent]memory_consumed_by_agent - is provided. When Ironic does this check, this config option may be set to - factor in the amount of RAM to reserve for running the agent. - -* Added Cisco IMC driver - - This driver supports managing Cisco UCS C-series servers through the - CIMC API, rather than IPMI. Documentation is available at: - http://docs.openstack.org/developer/ironic/drivers/cimc.html - -* iLO virtual media drivers can work without Swift - - iLO virtual media drivers (iscsi_ilo and agent_ilo) can work standalone - without Swift, by configuring an HTTP(S) server for hosting the - deploy/boot images. A web server needs to be running on every conductor - node and needs to be configured in ironic.conf. - - iLO driver documentation is available at: - http://docs.openstack.org/developer/ironic/drivers/ilo.html - -Known issues -~~~~~~~~~~~~ - -* Out of tree drivers may be broken by this release. The AgentDeploy and - ISCSIDeploy (formerly known as PXEDeploy) classes now depend on drivers to - utilize an instance of a BootInterface. For drivers that exist out of tree, - that use these deploy classes, an error will be thrown during - deployment. There is a simple fix. For drivers that expect these deploy - classes to handle PXE booting, one can add the following code to the driver's - `__init__` method:: - - from ironic.drivers.modules import pxe - - class YourDriver(...): - def __init__(self): - # ... - self.boot = pxe.PXEBoot() - - A driver that handles booting itself (for example, a driver that implements - booting from virtual media) should use the following to make calls to the boot - interface a no-op:: - - from ironic.drivers.modules import fake - - class YourDriver(...) - def __init__(self): - # ... - self.boot = fake.FakeBoot() - - Additionally, as mentioned before, `ironic.drivers.modules.pxe.PXEDeploy` - has moved to `ironic.drivers.modules.iscsi_deploy.ISCSIDeploy`, which will - break drivers that use this class. - - The Ironic team apologizes profusely for this inconvenience. - +Release notes: http://docs.openstack.org/releasenotes/ironic/liberty.html#V4-2-0 4.1.0 ===== -This brings some bug fixes and small features on top of Ironic 4.0.0. -Major changes are listed below, and full release details are available -on Launchpad: https://launchpad.net/ironic/liberty/4.1.0. - -* Added CORS support - - The Ironic API now has support for CORS requests, that may be used by, - for example, web browser-based clients. This is configured in the [cors] - section of ironic.conf. - -* Removed deprecated 'admin_api' policy rule - -* Deprecated the 'parallel' option to periodic task decorator +Release notes: http://docs.openstack.org/releasenotes/ironic/liberty.html#V4-1-0 4.0.0 First semver release ============================ -This is the first semver-versioned release of Ironic, created during the -OpenStack "Liberty" development cycle. It marks a pivot in our -versioning schema from date-based versioning; the previous released -version was 2015.1. Full release details are available on Launchpad: -https://launchpad.net/ironic/liberty/4.0.0. - -* Raised API version to 1.11 - - - v1.7 exposes a new 'clean_step' property on the Node resource. - - v1.8 and v1.9 improve query and filter support - - v1.10 fixes Node logical names to support all `RFC 3986`_ unreserved - characters - - v1.11 changes the default state of newly created Nodes from AVAILABLE to - ENROLL - -* Support for the new ENROLL workflow during Node creation - - Previously, all Nodes were created in the "available" provision state - before - management credentials were validated, hardware was burned in, etc. This could - lead to workloads being scheduled to Nodes that were not yet ready for it. - - Beginning with API v1.11, newly created Nodes begin in the ENROLL state, - and must be "managed" and "provided" before they are made available for - provisioning. API clients must be updated to handle the new workflow when they - begin sending the X-OpenStack-Ironic-API-Version header with a value >= 1.11. - -* Migrations from Nova "baremetal" have been removed - - After a deprecation period, the scripts and support for migrating from - the old Nova "baremetal" driver to the new Nova "ironic" driver have - been removed from Ironic's tree. - -* Removal of deprecated vendor driver methods - - A new @passthru decorator was introduced to the driver API in a previous - release. In this release, support for vendor_passthru and - driver_vendor_passthru methods has been removed. All in-tree drivers have - been updated. Any out of tree drivers which did not update to the - @passthru decorator during the previous release will need to do so to be - compatible with this release. - -* Introduce new BootInterface to the Driver API - - Drivers may optionally add a new BootInterface. This is merely a - refactoring of the Driver API to support future improvements. - -* Several hardware drivers have been added or enhanced - - - Add OCS Driver - - Add UCS Driver - - Add Wake-On-Lan Power Driver - - ipmitool driver supports IPMI v1.5 - - Add support to SNMP driver for "APC MasterSwitchPlus" series PDU's - - pxe_ilo driver now supports UEFI Secure Boot (previous releases of the - iLO driver only supported this for agent_ilo and iscsi_ilo) - - Add Virtual Media support to iRMC Driver - - Add BIOS config to DRAC Driver - - PXE drivers now support GRUB2 - +Release notes: http://docs.openstack.org/releasenotes/ironic/liberty.html#V4.0.0 2015.1.0 OpenStack "Kilo" Release ==================================== @@ -228,4 +44,3 @@ Release notes: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Ironic/ReleaseNotes/Juno Release notes: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Ironic/ReleaseNotes/Icehouse -.. _`RFC 3986`: https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3986.txt
