oslo_config provide a utility for generating sample config files, which provide more detail about opts, like Minimum/Maximum value and Allowed values. So drop Ironic's "generate_sample.sh" which was copied from oslo-incubator long time ago. Add a new entry point "ironic" under oslo.config.opts namespace to explore config options to oslo-config-generator. After this patch, new config options of Ironic code should register with ironic/conf/opts.py. New external libraries should register with tools/config/ironic-config-generator.conf There is a bug #1554657 with oslo-config about deprecated_group. This bug have impact of some configs from keystonemiddleware and oslo.messaging in ironic.conf.sample So currently, deprecated option should always add the deprecated_group even it didn't alter the group, otherwise the deprecated group value will be 'DEFAULT'. Update etc/ironic/ironic.conf.sample via running 'tox -egenconfig'. Closes-Bug: #1564195 Change-Id: If7721e98e69b6f54f1ee04a07477396b86583371
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 together to provision and turn on/off machines, but Ironic also supports vendor-specific plugins which may implement additional functionality.
