Hi all, as mitaka branch was finally EOLed, Ironic team is going to proceed with removal of SSH-based power and management drivers for virtualized HW which were deprecated back in newton release.
Since newton the virtualbmc-based simulation of IPMI-capable HW is officially supported, and we plan to switch all gates away from using *_ssh drivers and eventually remove those from the ironic code, most probably in Pike release. I've skimmed through the project-config/zuul/layout.yaml and found a number of projects that use some gate jobs with 'ironic' in the job name which are not defined in project-config/jenkins/jobs/ironic.yaml, those project are tagged in the subject of this message. While kolla, magnum, OSA and rally seem to have only non-voting jobs with ironic and thus should not be completely broken by removal of SSH drivers anyway, puppet-ironic seems to have a voting "puppet-openstack-integration-jobs-scenario002" job. This message especially concerns deployment-specific projects that do not install ironic via DevStack in their gate jobs. To successfully install a working ironic which is capable to actually deploy nodes, such projects will have to incorporate some additional steps to setup virtualbmc-based HW simulation for baremetal nodes and configure nodes enrolled in ironic accordingly. If your project is mentioned, please ensure that any ironic-including gate jobs you use do not setup ironic with *_ssh drivers, and switch to other supported drivers if needed. Examples of necessary steps can be found in ironic's DevStack plugin and in the playbooks of openstack/bifrost project. For any questions please do not hesitate to contact ironic team, we'll be glad to help you. Best regards, -- Dr. Pavlo Shchelokovskyy Senior Software Engineer Mirantis Inc www.mirantis.com
