Remove the 'fake' and 'ssh' drivers, since they should not show up in production, and it is better to have production-oriented sane defaults. Updates the option doc string with a lengthy description. Updates the developer documentation with a link to the wiki page, where a list of CI-tested drivers will be maintained. Change-Id: I1151ace22752efdf6a8a43e279a57d728ea6cce2

Pluggable Drivers
|
|
=================
|
|
|
|
Ironic supports a pluggable driver model. This allows contributors to easily
|
|
add new drivers, and operators to use third-party drivers or write their own.
|
|
|
|
Drivers are loaded by the ironic-conductor service during initialization, by
|
|
enumerating the python entrypoint "ironic.drivers" and attempting to load
|
|
all drivers specified in the "enabled_drivers" configuration option. A
|
|
complete list of drivers available on the system may be found by
|
|
enumerating this entrypoint by running the following python script::
|
|
|
|
#!/usr/bin/env python
|
|
|
|
import pkg_resources as pkg
|
|
print [p.name for p in pkg.iter_entry_points("ironic.drivers") if not p.name.startswith("fake")]
|
|
|
|
A list of drivers enabled in a running Ironic service may be found by issuing
|
|
the following command against that API end point::
|
|
|
|
ironic driver-list
|
|
|
|
