This updates testr.conf to allow passing of the tests directory as an environment variable (defaulting to ironic/tests/). Also updates tox.ini to run testr once for ironic/tests and once for ironic/nova/tests/, then combine subunit output. test-requirements.txt is updated to pull in Nova from a tarball, as well as mox and python-ironicclient. Updates the existing Nova driver unit tests to account for recent refactoring and changes in the Nova virt API. Change-Id: Ibefa2e0d3f97512f4da9ace780703fe47467232e Closes-bug: #1299312
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.
