I did something stupid when started driving forth the split of ipxe from the pxe interface: I didn't think about the need to actually separate bootloaders. In part, because the use case was a mixed Power8/Power9 and x86 cluster. Mainly because the Power hardware does not honor or care about the bootfile name provided over DHCP. The firmware knows how to read the PXELINUX boot file format and the machines are able to boot from there. Where this all goes sideways is when: * Enabled boot interfaces are set to ipxe,pxe * No default boot interface is set * Node is created without a default for x86 hardware. * Node uses ipxe boot_interface, and creates files under /httpboot * bootfile transmitted via DHCP is pxelinux.0. Fun right? The simple workaround for the power user is to just define the iPXE loader, or maybe use UEFI. But that is neither here nor there, this is still a bug and a possible use case is GRUB2 via PXE and iPXE. Not that would really work via ipxe, but hopefully people get the idea. The solution kind of seems clear, duplicate configuration and fallback if not defined. Story: #2007003 Task: #40282 Change-Id: I4419254c23095929e52a0fda11789f2f5167dc6b |

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.
Ironic is distributed under the terms of the Apache License, Version 2.0. The full terms and conditions of this license are detailed in the LICENSE file.
