BIOSInterface.apply_configuration(task, settings)

Validate & apply BIOS settings on the given node.

This method takes the BIOS settings from the settings param and applies BIOS settings on the given node. It may also validate the given bios settings before applying any settings and manage failures when setting an invalid BIOS config. In the case of needing password to update the BIOS config, it will be taken from the driver_info properties. After the BIOS configuration is done, cache_bios_settings will be called to update the node’s BIOS setting table with the BIOS configuration applied on the node.

Parameters:
  • task – a TaskManager instance.
  • settings – Dictonary containing the BIOS configuration.
Raises:

UnsupportedDriverExtension, if the node’s driver doesn’t support BIOS configuration.

Raises:

InvalidParameterValue, if validation of settings fails.

Raises:

MissingParameterValue, if some required parameters are missing.

Returns:

states.CLEANWAIT if BIOS configuration is in progress asynchronously or None if it is complete.

BIOSInterface.cache_bios_settings(task)

Store or update BIOS properties on the given node.

This method stores BIOS properties to the bios_settings table during ‘cleaning’ operation and updates bios_settings table when apply_configuration() and factory_reset() are called to set new BIOS configurations. It will also update the timestamp of each bios setting.

Parameters:task – a TaskManager instance.
Raises:UnsupportedDriverExtension, if the node’s driver doesn’t support getting BIOS properties from bare metal.
Returns:None.
BIOSInterface.factory_reset(task)

Reset BIOS configuration to factory default on the given node.

This method resets BIOS configuration to factory default on the given node. After the BIOS reset action is done, cache_bios_settings will be called to update the node’s BIOS settings table with default bios settings.

Parameters:task – a TaskManager instance.
Raises:UnsupportedDriverExtension, if the node’s driver doesn’t support BIOS reset.
Returns:states.CLEANWAIT if BIOS configuration is in progress asynchronously or None if it is complete.

Bases: object

A bare driver object which will have interfaces attached later.

Any composable interfaces should be added as class attributes of this class, as well as appended to core_interfaces or standard_interfaces here.

Returns:dictionary of <property name>:<property description> entries.
service None

Bases: object

A base interface implementing common functions for Driver Interfaces.

BaseInterface.execute_clean_step(task, step)

Execute the clean step on task.node.

A clean step must take a single positional argument: a TaskManager object. It may take one or more keyword variable arguments (for use with manual cleaning only.)

A step can be executed synchronously or asynchronously. A step should return None if the method has completed synchronously or states.CLEANWAIT if the step will continue to execute asynchronously. If the step executes asynchronously, it should issue a call to the ‘continue_node_clean’ RPC, so the conductor can begin the next clean step.

Parameters:
  • task – A TaskManager object
  • step – The clean step dictionary representing the step to execute
Returns:

None if this method has completed synchronously, or states.CLEANWAIT if the step will continue to execute asynchronously.

BaseInterface.execute_deploy_step(task, step)

Execute the deploy step on task.node.

A deploy step must take a single positional argument: a TaskManager object. It may take one or more keyword variable arguments (for use in the future, when deploy steps can be specified via the API).

A step can be executed synchronously or asynchronously. A step should return None if the method has completed synchronously or states.DEPLOYWAIT if the step will continue to execute asynchronously. If the step executes asynchronously, it should issue a call to the ‘continue_node_deploy’ RPC, so the conductor can begin the next deploy step.

Parameters:
  • task – A TaskManager object
  • step – The deploy step dictionary representing the step to execute
Returns:

None if this method has completed synchronously, or states.DEPLOYWAIT if the step will continue to execute asynchronously.

This function will return all clean steps (both enabled and disabled) for the interface, in an unordered list.

Parameters:task – A TaskManager object, useful for interfaces overriding this function

Returns:A list of clean step dictionaries
BaseInterface.get_deploy_steps(task)

Get a list of (enabled and disabled) deploy steps for the interface.

This function will return all deploy steps (both enabled and disabled) for the interface, in an unordered list.

This method is often executed synchronously in API requests, so it should not conduct long-running checks.

Parameters:task – A TaskManager instance containing the node to act on.
Raises:InvalidParameterValue on malformed parameter(s)
Raises:MissingParameterValue on missing parameter(s)

Interface for deploy-related actions.

DeployInterface.clean_up(task)

Clean up the deployment environment for the task’s node.

If preparation of the deployment environment ahead of time is possible, this method should be implemented by the driver. It should erase anything cached by the prepare method.

If implemented, this method must be idempotent. It may be called multiple times for the same node on the same conductor, and it may be called by multiple conductors in parallel. Therefore, it must not require an exclusive lock.

This method is called before tear_down.

Parameters:task – A TaskManager instance containing the node to act on.
DeployInterface.deploy(task)

Perform a deployment to the task’s node.

Perform the necessary work to deploy an image onto the specified node. This method will be called after prepare(), which may have already performed any preparatory steps, such as pre-caching some data for the node.

Parameters:task – A TaskManager instance containing the node to act on.
Returns:status of the deploy. One of ironic.common.states.
DeployInterface.heartbeat(task, callback_url, agent_version)

Returns:

None

DeployInterface.prepare(task)

Prepare the deployment environment for the task’s node.

If preparation of the deployment environment ahead of time is possible, this method should be implemented by the driver.

If implemented, this method must be idempotent. It may be called multiple times for the same node on the same conductor.

This method is called before deploy.

Parameters:task – A TaskManager instance containing the node to act on.
DeployInterface.prepare_cleaning(task)

Prepare the node for cleaning tasks.

For example, nodes that use the Ironic Python Agent will need to boot the ramdisk in order to do in-band cleaning tasks.

If the function is asynchronous, the driver will need to handle settings node.driver_internal_info[‘clean_steps’] and node.clean_step, as they would be set in ironic.conductor.manager._do_node_clean, but cannot be set when this is asynchronous. After, the interface should make an RPC call to continue_node_cleaning to start cleaning.

NOTE(JoshNang) this should be moved to BootInterface when it gets implemented.

Parameters:task – A TaskManager instance containing the node to act on.
Returns:If this function is going to be asynchronous, should return states.CLEANWAIT. Otherwise, should return None. The interface will need to call _get_cleaning_steps and then RPC to continue_node_cleaning
DeployInterface.take_over(task)

Take over management of this task’s node from a dead conductor.

If conductors’ hosts maintain a static relationship to nodes, this method should be implemented by the driver to allow conductors to perform the necessary work during the remapping of nodes to conductors when a conductor joins or leaves the cluster.

For example, the PXE driver has an external dependency:
Neutron must forward DHCP BOOT requests to a conductor which has prepared the tftpboot environment for the given node. When a conductor goes offline, another conductor must change this setting in Neutron as part of remapping that node’s control to itself. This is performed within the takeover method.
Parameters:task – A TaskManager instance containing the node to act on.
DeployInterface.tear_down(task)

Tear down a previous deployment on the task’s node.

Given a node that has been previously deployed to, do all cleanup and tear down necessary to “un-deploy” that node.

Parameters:task – A TaskManager instance containing the node to act on.
Returns:status of the deploy. One of ironic.common.states.
DeployInterface.tear_down_cleaning(task)

Tear down after cleaning is completed.

Given that cleaning is complete, do all cleanup and tear down necessary to allow the node to be deployed to again.

NOTE(JoshNang) this should be moved to BootInterface when it gets implemented.

Parameters:task – A TaskManager instance containing the node to act on.
service None
