Nova has removed nova/openstack/common/lockutils.py and switched to oslo.concurrency so we can no longer import lockutils from the nova tree. Make the same switch in the ironic tree. Closes-Bug: #1386631 Change-Id: I8db99d61dbe6c50c9edae37077242e2696bc5671
Ironic
Ironic is an integrated 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.
