In juno, ironic provided support for migrating from nova's "baremetal" driver to its "ironic" driver. These scripts were used for that. The baremetal driver was removed from nova in kilo. Ironic doesn't support migrating from pre-kilo nova's baremetal driver to post-juno nova's ironic driver. Hence, deleting these migration scripts. Closes-Bug: #1446330 Change-Id: Ic4990caa83a2eca3ee9fbd105bfe0a12bdaa7efe
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.
