=======================
Node Management (nodes)
=======================

Nodes can be managed through several sub-resources.

Maintenance mode can be set by the operator, with an optional "reason" stored
by Ironic.

The supplied ``driver_info`` can be validated to ensure that the selected
``driver`` has all the information it requires to manage the Node.

A Node can be rebooted, turned on, or turned off by requesting a change to its
power state. This is handled asynchronously and tracked in the ``target_power_state``
field after the request is received.

A Node's boot device can be changed, and the set of supported boot devices
can be queried.

A request to change a Node's provision state is also tracked asynchronously;
the ``target_provision_state`` represents the requested state. A Node
may transition through several discrete ``provision_state`` steps before arriving
at the requested state. This can vary between drivers and based on configuration.

For example, a Node in the ``available`` state can have an instance deployed to it
by requesting the provision state of ``active``. During this transition, the Node's
``provision_state`` will temporarily be set to ``deploying``, and depending on the driver,
it may also be ``wait call-back``. When the transitions are complete, ``target_provision_state``
will be set to ``None`` and ``provision_state`` will be set to ``active``.
To destroy the instance, request the provision state of ``delete``. During this
transition, the Node may or may not go through a ``cleaning`` state,
depending on the service configuration.


Validate Node
===============

.. rest_method:: GET /v1/nodes/{node_ident}/validate

Request that Ironic validate whether the Node's ``driver`` has enough information
to manage the Node. This polls each ``interface`` on the driver, and returns
the status of that ``interface`` as an element in the response. Note that each
``driver`` may require different information to be supplied, and not all drivers
support all interfaces.

Normal response codes: 200

.. TODO: add error codes

Request
-------

.. rest_parameters:: parameters.yaml

   - node_ident: node_ident

Response
--------

Each element in the response will contain a "result" variable, which will have
a value of "true" or "false", indicating that the interface either has or does
not have sufficient information to function. A value of ``null`` indicates that
the Node's driver does not support that interface.

.. rest_parameters:: parameters.yaml

  - boot: v_boot
  - console: v_console
  - deploy: v_deploy
  - inspect: v_inspect
  - management: v_management
  - network: v_network
  - power: v_power
  - raid: v_raid
  - rescue: v_rescue
  - storage: v_storage

**Example node validation response:**

.. literalinclude:: samples/node-validate-response.json
   :language: javascript


Set Maintenance Flag
=============================

.. rest_method:: PUT /v1/nodes/{node_ident}/maintenance

Request that Ironic set the maintenance flag on the Node. This will disable
certain automatic actions that the Node's driver may take, and remove
the Node from Nova's available resource pool.

Normal response code: 202

.. TODO: Add link to user / operator documentation on the Maintenance flag

Request
-------

.. rest_parameters:: parameters.yaml

    - node_ident: node_ident
    - reason: reason

**Example request: mark a node for maintenance:**

.. literalinclude:: samples/node-maintenance-request.json

Clear Maintenance Flag
==============================

.. rest_method:: DELETE /v1/nodes/{node_ident}/maintenance

The maintenance flag is unset by sending a DELETE request to this endpoint.
If the request is accepted, Ironic will also clear the ``maintenance_reason``
field.

Normal response code: 202

.. TODO: Add link to user / operator documentation on the Maintenance flag

Request
-------

.. rest_parameters:: parameters.yaml

    - node_ident: node_ident

Set Boot Device
===============

.. rest_method:: PUT /v1/nodes/{node_ident}/management/boot_device

Set the boot device for the given Node, and set it persistently or for one-time
boot. The exact behaviour of this depends on the hardware driver.

.. note:: In some drivers, eg.  the ``*_ipmitool`` family, this method initiates a synchronous call
          to the hardware management device (BMC). It should be used with caution! This
          is `a known bug <https://bugs.launchpad.net/ironic/+bug/1427923>`_.

.. note:: Some drivers do not support one-time boot, and always set the boot device
          persistently.

Normal response code: 204

.. TODO: add error codes

Request
-------

.. rest_parameters:: parameters.yaml

    - node_ident: node_ident

Get Boot Device
===============

.. rest_method:: GET /v1/nodes/{node_ident}/management/boot_device

Get the current boot device for the given Node.

.. note:: In some drivers, eg. the ``*_ipmitool`` family, this method initiates a synchronous call
