Moshe Levi 8f251134e8 Adding InfiniBand Support 
InfiniBand is computer-networking communications standard
used in high-performance computing, features very high
throughput and very low latency. Where ethernet uses MAC
as unique identifier assigned to network interfaces,
InfiniBand uses GUID. The difference is
that MAC is 6 bytes and GID is 8 bytes. Moreover to be
able to PXE boot on InfiniBand network we should use DHCP
over InfiniBand https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4390.
The major changes to allow it is to generate client-id per
GID and add it as DHCP option to the neutron port.

This patch update the neutron port with CLient-ID
DHCP option when ironic port.extra has client-id
paramater.

Closes-Bug: #1532534

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.

Project Resources

Project status, bugs and RFEs (requests for feature enhancements) are tracked on Launchpad:
