Ironic should be able to provide the requisite connectivity information to the Neutron ML2 plugin to allow drivers to provision the top-of-rack switch for the bare metal server. The addition of portgroups in Ironic allows the concept of link aggregation to be handled in Ironic in order to provide support for cases where multiple interfaces on the bare metal server connect to switch ports of a single LAG. This commit includes changes to: - the objects (extension of port and addition of portgroup) - the object tests Partial-bug: #1526403 DocImpact Co-Authored-By: Jenny Moorehead (jenny.moorehead@sap.com) Co-Authored-By: Will Stevenson (will.stevenson@sap.com) Change-Id: Id13eeafbdd9a4d9e679121f1b60be0073430499b
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.
