John Trowbridge 109e02b1ce [ironic-agent] Use svc-map for enabling agent 
Switch to using svc-map element for systemd based agent.

This allows both .deb and .rpm installs to share the
element for systemd based installs. There are not any
plans to package a .rpm package for upstart or sysv, so
these are left as is.

ironic-agent

Builds a ramdisk with ironic-python-agent. More information can be found at:

https://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/ironic-python-agent/

Beyond installing the ironic-python-agent, this element does the following:

  • Installs the dhcp-all-interfaces so the node, upon booting, attempts to obtain an IP address on all available network interfaces.
  • Disables the iptables service on SysV and systemd based systems.
  • Disables the ufw service on Upstart based systems.
  • Installs packages required for the operation of the ironic-python-agent::

    qemu-utils parted hdparm util-linux genisoimage

  • When installing from source, python-dev and gcc are also installed in order to support source based installation of ironic-python-agent and its dependencies.

Note

The package based install currently only enables the service when using the systemd init system. This can easily be changed if there is an agent package which includes upstart or sysv packaging.

Note

Using the ramdisk will require at least 1.5GB of ram
