Julia Kreger ed74a062c1 Provide fallback from ATA erase to shredding 
Presently should the ATA erasure operation fails, IPA halts the
cleaning process and the node goes to CLEANFAIL state as a result.

This failure could be the result of a previous cleaning failure
that left drive security enabled, for which code has been added
in an attempt to address this case by attempting to unlock the
the drive.

In the event that an operator wishes to automatically fallback to
disk scrubbing operations, the capability has been added through
a driver_internal_info field "agent_continue_if_ata_erase_failed"
that can be set to True, however defaults to False keeping the
same behavior that IPA presently exhibits in the event of ATA
erase operations failing.

README.rst

ironic-python-agent

An agent for controlling and deploying Ironic controlled baremetal nodes.

The ironic-python-agent works with the agent driver in Ironic to provision the node. Starting with ironic-python-agent running on a ramdisk on the unprovisioned node, Ironic makes API calls to ironic-python-agent to provision the machine. This allows for greater control and flexibility of the entire deployment process.

The ironic-python-agent may also be used with the original Ironic pxe drivers as of the Kilo OpenStack release.

Building the IPA deployment ramdisk

For more information see the Image Builder section of the Ironic Python Agent developer guide.

Using IPA with devstack

This is covered in the Deploying Ironic with DevStack section of the Ironic dev-quickstart guide.
