REST API Version History

1.67 (Victoria, master)

Add support for the mutually exclusive port_uuid and portgroup_uuid fields by having the node vif_attach API accept those values within vif_info. If one is specified, then Ironic will attempt to attach a VIF to the relative port or portgroup.

1.66 (Victoria, master)

Add network_data field to the node object, that will be used by stand-alone ironic to pass L3 network configuration information to ramdisk.

1.65 (Ussuri, 15.0)

Added lessee field to the node object. The field should match the project_id of the intended lessee. If an allocation has an owner, then the allocation process will only match the allocation with a node that has the same owner or lessee.

1.64 (Ussuri, 15.0)

Added the network_type to the port objects local_link_connection field. The network_type can be set to either managed or unmanaged. When the type is unmanaged other fields are not required. Use unmanaged when the neutron network_interface is required, but the network is in fact a flat network where no actual switch management is done.

1.63 (Ussuri, 15.0)

Added the following new endpoints for indicator management:

• GET /v1/nodes/<node_ident>/management/indicators to list all available indicators names for each of the hardware component. Currently known components are: chassis, system, disk, power and nic.
• GET /v1/nodes/<node_ident>/management/indicators/<component>/<indicator_ident> to retrieve all indicators and their states for the hardware component.
• PUT /v1/nodes/<node_ident>/management/indicators/<component>/<indicator_ident> change state of the desired indicators of the component.

1.62 (Ussuri, 15.0)

This version of the API is to signify capability of an ironic deployment to support the agent token functionality with the ironic-python-agent.

1.61 (Ussuri, 14.0)

Added retired field to the node object to mark nodes for retirement. If set, this flag will move nodes to manageable upon automatic cleaning. manageable nodes which have this flag set cannot be moved to available. Also added retired_reason to specify the retirement reason.

1.60 (Ussuri, 14.0)

Added owner field to the allocation object. The field should match the project_id of the intended owner. If the owner field is set, the allocation process will only match the allocation with a node that has the same owner field set.

1.59 (Ussuri, 14.0)

Added the ability to specify a vendor_data dictionary field in the configdrive parameter submitted with the deployment of a node. The value is a dictionary which is served as vendor_data2.json in the config drive.

1.58 (Train, 12.2.0)

Added the ability to backfill allocations for already deployed nodes by creating an allocation with node set.

1.57 (Train, 12.2.0)

Added the following new endpoint for allocation:

• PATCH /v1/allocations/<allocation_ident> that allows updating name and extra fields for an existing allocation.

1.56 (Stein, 12.1.0)

Added the ability for the configdrive parameter submitted with the deployment of a node, to include a meta_data, network_data and user_data dictionary fields. Ironic will now use the supplied data to create a configuration drive for the user. Prior uses of the configdrive field are unaffected.

1.38 (Queens, 10.1.0)

Added provision_state verbs rescue and unrescue along with the following states: rescue, rescue failed, rescue wait, rescuing, unrescue failed, and unrescuing. After rescuing a node, it will be left in the rescue state running a rescue ramdisk, configured with the rescue_password, and listening with ssh on the specified network interfaces. Unrescuing a node will return it to active.

Add internal_info readonly field to the port object, that will be used by ironic to store internal port-related information.

1.17 (Newton, 6.0.0)

Addition of provision_state verb adopt which allows an operator to move a node from manageable state to active state without performing a deployment operation on the node. This is intended for nodes that have already been deployed by external means.

1.16 (Mitaka, 5.0.0)

Add ability to filter nodes by driver.

1.15 (Mitaka, 5.0.0)

Add ability to do manual cleaning when a node is in the manageable provision state via PUT v1/nodes/<identifier>/states/provision, target:clean, clean_steps:[...].

1.14 (Liberty, 4.2.0)

Make the following endpoints discoverable via Ironic API:

• '/v1/nodes/<UUID or logical name>/states'
• '/v1/drivers/<driver name>/properties'

1.13 (Liberty, 4.2.0)

Add a new verb abort to the API used to abort nodes in CLEANWAIT state.

1.12 (Liberty, 4.2.0)

This API version adds the following abilities:

• Get/set node.target_raid_config and to get node.raid_config.
• Retrieve the logical disk properties for the driver.

1.11 (Liberty, 4.0.0, breaking change)

Newly registered nodes begin in the enroll provision state by default, instead of available. To get them to the available state, the manage action must first be run to verify basic hardware control. On success the node moves to manageable provision state. Then the provide action must be run. Automated cleaning of the node is done and the node is made available.

1.10 (Liberty, 4.0.0)

Logical node names support all RFC 3986 unreserved characters. Previously only valid fully qualified domain names could be used.

1.9 (Liberty, 4.0.0)

Add ability to filter nodes by provision state.

1.8 (Liberty, 4.0.0)

Add ability to return a subset of resource fields.

1.7 (Liberty, 4.0.0)

Add node clean_step field.

1.6 (Kilo)

Add inspection process: introduce inspecting and inspectfail provision states, and inspect action that can be used when a node is in manageable provision state.

1.5 (Kilo)

Add logical node names that can be used to address a node in addition to the node UUID. Name is expected to be a valid fully qualified domain name in this version of API.

1.4 (Kilo)

Add manageable state and manage transition, which can be used to move a node to manageable state from available. The node cannot be deployed in manageable state. This change is mostly a preparation for future inspection work and introduction of enroll provision state.

1.3 (Kilo)

Add node driver_internal_info field.

1.2 (Kilo, breaking change)

Renamed NOSTATE (None in Python, null in JSON) node state to available. This is needed to reduce confusion around None state, especially when future additions to the state machine land.

1.1 (Kilo)

This was the initial version when API versioning was introduced. Includes the following changes from Kilo release cycle:

• Add node maintenance_reason field and an API endpoint to set/unset the node maintenance mode.
• Add sync and async support for vendor passthru methods.
• Vendor passthru endpoints support different HTTP methods, not only POST.
• Make vendor methods discoverable via the Ironic API.
• Add logic to store the config drive passed by Nova.

This has been the minimum supported version since versioning was introduced.

1.0 (Juno)

This version denotes Juno API and was never explicitly supported, as API versioning was not implemented in Juno, and 1.1 became the minimum supported version in Kilo.
