Hamdy Khader 091aa32896 Do not perform port update in case of baremetal instance.
In case of a baremetal instance, the instance's port binding:host_id
gets updated during instance reboot to the nova compute host id by
the periodic task: _heal_instance_info_cache. This regression was
introduced in commit: I75fd15ac2a29e420c09499f2c41d11259ca811ae

This is an un-desirable change as ironic virt driver did the original
port binding, nova should not update the value.
In case of a baremetal port, the binding:host_id represents the ironic
node_uuid. In case of a SmartNIC(baremetal) port[1] the binding:host_id
represent the SmartNIC hostname and it MUST not change since ironic
relies on that information as well as the Neutron agent that runs on
the SmartNIC.

A new API method was added, "manages_port_bindings()", to ComputeDriver
that defaults to False, and overriden in IronicDriver to True.

A call to this API method is now made in _heal_instance_info_cache() to
prevent port update for instance ports in case the underlying
ComputeDriver manages the port binding.

OpenStack Nova

OpenStack Nova provides a cloud computing fabric controller, supporting a wide variety of compute technologies, including: libvirt (KVM, Xen, LXC and more), Hyper-V, VMware, XenServer, OpenStack Ironic and PowerVM.

Use the following resources to learn more.

API

To learn how to use Nova's API, consult the documentation available online at:

For more information on OpenStack APIs, SDKs and CLIs in general, refer to:

Operators

To learn how to deploy and configure OpenStack Nova, consult the documentation available online at:

In the unfortunate event that bugs are discovered, they should be reported to the appropriate bug tracker. If you obtained the software from a 3rd party operating system vendor, it is often wise to use their own bug tracker for reporting problems. In all other cases use the master OpenStack bug tracker, available at:

Developers

For information on how to contribute to Nova, please see the contents of the CONTRIBUTING.rst.

Any new code must follow the development guidelines detailed in the HACKING.rst file, and pass all unit tests.

Further developer focused documentation is available at:

Other Information

During each Summit and Project Team Gathering, we agree on what the whole community wants to focus on for the upcoming release. The plans for nova can be found at:
