Gonéri Le Bouder 42dc6a341a ipxe: retry on failure 
If ipxe fails to boot download kernel/initrd, it will give up and the
boot process will continue with the next boot device, and may end up
with a boot on the old disk image.

If ipxe has failed to download a file and after the pxe/ipxe_timeout
delay, it will now retry to download it instead of giving up.

This goto/retry pattern is common with IPXE. This is an example:
  http://ipxe.org/cmd/autoboot

We can hardly implement complex solutions since we have a very limited
control over the ipxe version in use.

Closes-Bug: #1326656

README.rst

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.

Project Resources

Project status, bugs, and blueprints are tracked on Launchpad:
