ironic-inspect-node
===================

Invokes ironic node introspection logic using the os_ironic_inspect module.

Requirements
------------

None at this time.  See Dependencies.

Role Variables
--------------

uuid: The UUID of the node to invoke ironic node introspection upon.
      This variable is not required if the node name is supplied as
      ironic requires unique names.

name: A node name to invoke inspection upon.  This variable is not
      required if the node uuid value is supplied.

noauth_mode: Controls if the module is called in noauth mode.
             By default, this is the standard mode of operation,
             however if set to false, the role utilizes os_client_config
             which expects a clouds.yml file.  More information about
             this file format can be found at:
             http://docs.openstack.org/developer/os-client-config/

cloud_name: Optional: String value defining a clouds.yaml entry for
            the ansible module to leverage.
inspection_wait_timeout: Integer value in seconds, defaults to 1800.
                         This value may need to be adjusted if the underlying
                         shade library's default timeout is insufficent for
                         a node to perform an inspection sequence with.
                         The timeout assumption in the library was
                         based upon there being three phases to complete
                         an inspection sequence, BIOS POST, (i)PXE,
                         and then booting of the ramdisk and IPA.
                         In most cases, each phase should be completed
                         under 300 seconds, although that will vary based
                         upon the hardware configuration.

Dependencies
------------

This role is dependent upon the os_ironic_inspect module being
available for use.
