Drivers (drivers)
|
|
=================
|

.. versionchanged:: 1.30
|
|
The REST API now also exposes information about *dynamic* drivers.
|
|
|
|
Ironic has two types of drivers: *classic* drivers and *dynamic* drivers.
|
|
|
|
A *classic* driver is a Python object containing all the logic to manage the
|
|
bare metal nodes enrolled within Ironic. A driver may be loaded within one or
|
|
more ``ironic-conductor`` services. Each driver contains a pre-determined set
|
|
of instantiated interfaces. Each type of interface (eg, ``power`` or ``boot``)
|
|
performs a specific hardware function.
|
|
|
|
*Dynamic* drivers are supported via hardware types, which are Python classes
|
|
enabled via entry points. Unlike *classic* drivers, which have pre-determined
|
|
interfaces, a hardware type may support multiple types of interfaces. For
|
|
example, the ``ipmi`` hardware type may support multiple methods for enabling
|
|
node console. Which interface a node of a particular hardware type uses is
|
|
determined at runtime. This collection of interfaces is called a *dynamic*
|
|
driver. For more information about this, see the node API documentation.
|
|
|
|
The REST API exposes the list of drivers and which ``ironic-conductor``
|
|
processes have loaded that driver via the Driver resource (``/v1/drivers``
|
|
endpoint). This can be useful for operators to validate their configuration in
|
|
a heterogeneous hardware environment. Each ``ironic-conductor`` process may
|
|
load one or more drivers, and does not necessarily need to load the same
|
|
*classic* drivers as another ``ironic-conductor``. Each ``ironic-conductor``
|
|
with the same hardware types must have the same hardware interfaces enabled.
|
|
|
|
The REST API also exposes details about each driver, such as what properties
|
|
must be supplied to a node's ``driver_info`` for that driver to manage
|
|
hardware.
|
|
|
|
Lastly, some drivers may expose methods through a ``driver_vendor_passthru``
|
|
endpoint, allowing one to interact with the driver directly (i.e., without
|
|
knowing a specific node identifier). For example, this is used by the ironic
|
|
python agent ramdisk to get the UUID of the node being deployed/cleaned by
|
|
using MAC addresses of the node's network interfaces the agent has discovered.

List drivers
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
.. rest_method:: GET /v1/drivers
|
|
|
|
Lists all drivers.
|
|
|
|
Normal response codes: 200
|
|
|
|
Request
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
.. rest_parameters:: parameters.yaml
|
|
|
|
- type: driver_type
|
|
- detail: driver_detail
|
|
|
|
Response Parameters
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
The response BODY contains a single key, "drivers", whose value is a list of
|
|
drivers supported by this Ironic service.
|
|
|
|
.. rest_parameters:: parameters.yaml
|
|
|

|
- properties: driver_property_links
|
|
|
|
.. versionchanged:: 1.30
|
|
If the request has the "detail" URL parameter set to true, each
|
|
driver will also include the following fields.
