This patch is adding a new root device hint called "rotational". This hint is used to identify whether a device is rotational or not making it easy to distinguish HDDs and SSDs when choosing which disk Ironic should deploy the image onto. Closes-Bug: #1599517 Depends-On: I270fe57df825929bdef7911b3a6757cf7163a5f1 Change-Id: Id630a0b9d02ed8e1bd674c32bef0d489849c3f29
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.
