Hardware introspection daemon for OpenStack Ironic
d972dc93cd
A possibility exists where inspector *can* fail upon inspection if the database connectivity was lost on a prior action. This is because the last database transport is potentially bad and fails upon load for the transaction. The cache can then end up with an "error" state entry, which upon retrying can fail becasue it is already in error state Because there really are no guarentees regarding database failures, the best thing to do is to not trust the prior cache state if it is in error and to reset it to starting upon new introspection requests. This prevents operators from *having* to perform process restarts to force all loads to be from the database unless they manage to have a multi-inspector cluster and get another inspector node to inspect in the mean time.

Hardware introspection for OpenStack Bare Metal
Introduction
This is an auxiliary service for discovering hardware properties for a node managed by Ironic. Hardware introspection or hardware properties discovery is a process of getting hardware parameters required for scheduling from a bare metal node, given its power management credentials (e.g. IPMI address, user name and password).
