An outcome of the Ironic 2024.1 PTG was that we would go ahead and deprecate the ibmc, xclarity, and the wsman interfaces of the idrac hardware type. The forward path is Redfish, as evidenced by the idrac hardware type having both wsman and redfish based interfaces available for users to choose from. These changes are being made by the Ironic team due to a lack of recent upstream contact with any of the related driver maintainers. Change-Id: Ia4aa99f4987570426bb155af8f437c9ba6013837

deprecations:
|
|
- |
|
|
The ``ibmc`` hardware type is deprecated due to a lack of upstream
|
|
communication, driver maintenance, and a recognition that the Redfish
|
|
hardware type likely works for the users at this point. This driver is
|
|
expected to be removed during the ``2024.2`` development cycle.
|
|
- The ``xclarity`` hardware type is deprecated due to a lack of upstream
|
|
communication, driver maintenance, and a recognition that the Redfish
|
|
hardware type is suitable for Lenovo hardware users moving forward.
|
|
This driver is expected to be removed during the ``2024.2`` development
|
|
cycle.
|
|
- The ``idrac-wsman`` interfaces on the ``idrac`` hardware type are
|
|
deprecated due to a lack of upstream communiation, and the decision of
|
|
the driver's maintainer in the past to move in to the direction of
|
|
using Redfish for driver interactions.
|
|
These driver interfaces are expected to be removed during the
|
|
``2024.2`` development cycle.
|
|
other:
|
|
- The classic ``ilo`` hardware types may be deprecated in the future for
|
|
removal or major changes, however our last communication with the
|
|
maintainers as of the ``2024.1`` Project Teams Gathering sessions
|
|
indiated they were still working to determine their own forward
|
|
path with a strong emphasis on the use of Redfish.
