When non-DriverLoadError exception occurs during driver loading, it is reraised, providing no information about driver that caused it. In this patch such exceptions are wrapped in DriverLoadError with driver name provided and reraised if driver is enabled. Closes-bug: #1352443 Change-Id: I203618f1c88b940b0122dd1dc204df6325e5e54c
Ironic
Ironic is an Incubated OpenStack project which aims to provision bare metal machines instead of virtual machines, forked from the Nova Baremetal driver. It is best thought of as a bare metal hypervisor API and a set of plugins which interact with the bare metal hypervisors. By default, it will use PXE and IPMI in concert to provision and turn on/off machines, but Ironic also supports vendor-specific plugins which may implement additional functionality.
