This patch is extending the root device hints to support the device name as input. It's important to note that for SATA, SCSI and IDE disk controllers the name is not recommended to be used because the order in which the device nodes are added in Linux is arbitrary, resulting in devices like /dev/sda and /dev/sdb switching around at boot time. The documentation was updated to inform operators about this problem. Depends-On: I48d6456c75bbe6ddf16ac6561e5461ca51eb9c37 Change-Id: I564d68ab1c66505195745c34e16e829b45a00a75 Closes-Bug: #1526732
Ironic
Ironic is an integrated OpenStack project which aims to provision bare metal machines instead of virtual machines, forked from the Nova Baremetal driver. It is best thought of as a bare metal hypervisor API and a set of plugins which interact with the bare metal hypervisors. By default, it will use PXE and IPMI together to provision and turn on/off machines, but Ironic also supports vendor-specific plugins which may implement additional functionality.
