Trying to deploy OpenStack environment consisting of ironic nova
hypervisor & hardware Ironic node (not VM Ironic node) with devstack
got failed. When trying this, followings are set in devstack local.conf
file; "VIRT_DRIVER=ironic", "IRONIC_BOOT_MODE=uefi' and
"IRONIC_IS_HARDWARE=true".
Failure is due to three bugs in script in "devstack" & "Ironic":
(1) function configure_nova_hypervisor in
devstack/lib/nova_plugins/hypervisor-ironic,
(2) function install_ironic in ironic/devstack/lib/ironic and
(3) function configure_ironic_dirs in ironic/devstack/lib/ironic.
Because "VIRT_DRIVER=ironic" & "IRONIC_IS_HARDWARE=true" is set,
devstack doesn't install libvirt related packages. So, attempt to copy
files/directories to filesystem paths to be created when installing
libvirt related packages gets failed.
When "IRONIC_BOOT_MODE=uefi" is set, bug (2) & (3) occurs. Because
function install_ironic & configure_ironic_dirs tries to configure
libvirt related settings (e.g. modify /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf) and
there is no filesystem path related to libvirt, error occurs.
This commit fixes bug (3) by adding "if" clause to determine Ironic
node is hardware or not and to skip libvirt related operations when
Ironic node is hardware.

Ironic
Team and repository tags
Overview
Ironic consists of an API and plug-ins for managing and provisioning physical machines in a security-aware and fault-tolerant manner. It can be used with nova as a hypervisor driver, or standalone service using bifrost. By default, it will use PXE and IPMI to interact with bare metal machines. Ironic also supports vendor-specific plug-ins which may implement additional functionality.
