This patch is adding a new command called sync to the standby module of IPA. The new command runs synchronously and it's responsible for flushing file system buffers to the disks. The initial intention for this command is to use it as part of the fix for the bug #1512492 where some hardware/firmwares do have problems to come back online after a soft ACPI power off, therefore we need to call sync() to make sure all file system buffers have been synced and then issue a hard power off (e.g via the BMC). Partial-Bug: #1512492 Change-Id: I5cd1d1b821426e995dc584452494b93ab23917e0
ironic-python-agent
An agent for controlling and deploying Ironic controlled baremetal nodes.
The ironic-python-agent works with the agent driver in Ironic to provision the node. Starting with ironic-python-agent running on a ramdisk on the unprovisioned node, Ironic makes API calls to ironic-python-agent to provision the machine. This allows for greater control and flexibility of the entire deployment process.
The ironic-python-agent may also be used with the original Ironic pxe drivers as of the Kilo OpenStack release.
