ipa-example-hardware-managers
|
||||
=============================
|
||||
|
||||
Example hardware managers for use with the `ironic python agent <http://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/ironic-python-agent>`_.
|
||||
|
||||
Example Device Hardware Manager
|
||||
-------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
This example manager is meant to demonstrate good patterns for developing a
|
||||
device-specific hardware manager, such as for a specific version of NIC or
|
||||
disk.
|
||||
|
||||
Use Cases include:
|
||||
* Adding device-specific clean-steps, such as to flash firmware or
|
||||
verify it's still properly working after being provisioned.
|
||||
* Implementing erase_device() using a vendor-provided utility for a given
|
||||
disk model.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Example Business Logic Hardware Manager
|
||||
---------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
This example manager is meant to demonstrate how cleaning and the agent can
|
||||
use the node object and the node itself to enforce business logic and node
|
||||
consistency.
|
||||
|
||||
Use Cases include:
|
||||
* Quality control on hardware by ensuring no component is beyond its useful
|
||||
life.
|
||||
* Asserting truths about the node; such as number of disks or total RAM.
|
||||
* Reporting metrics about the node's hardware state.
|
||||
* Overriding logic of get_os_install_device().
