As part of the deploy process the conductor should pass the URL of the Ironic API to the deploy ramdisk so that it can talk back to the Ironic API, but if the URL is not present in the Ironic configuration file or in the keystone catalog the deploy process will fail in the middle. This patch adds a verification to the validate() method to make sure the URL is present before the deploy starts. Related-Bug: #1290482 Change-Id: I95472660deff0e23a19d0b744f711bbe3acc2191
Ironic
Ironic is an Incubated 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 in concert to provision and turn on/off machines, but Ironic also supports vendor-specific plugins which may implement additional functionality.
