When register-nodes blows up, is the error we get from Ironic sufficiently
unique that we can just consume it and move on?
I'm all for making the API more powerful wrt inspecting the current setup, but
I also like idempotency :)
If the master nodes list changes, because say you add a second NIC, and
up the amount of RAM for a few of your nodes, we then want to update
those details in the baremetal service, rather than skipping those nodes
since they are already registered.

Hi,
TripleO has a bridging script we use to register nodes with a baremetal service (eg:
Ironic or Nova-bm), called "register-nodes", which given a list of node
descriptions (in JSON), will register them with the appropriate baremetal service.
At the moment, if you run register-nodes a second time with the same list
of nodes, it will happily try and register them and then blow up when Ironic or
Nova-bm returns an error. If operators are going to update their master list of
nodes to add or remove machines and then run register-nodes again, we need a
way to skip registering nodes that are already -- except that I don't really
want to extract out the UUID of the registered nodes, because that puts an onus
on the operators to make sure that the UUID is listed in the master list, and
that would be mean requiring manual data entry, or some way to get that data
back out in the tool they use to manage their master list, which may not even
have an API. Because our intent is for this bridge between an operators master
list, and a baremetal service, the intent is for this to run again and again
when changes happen.
This means we need a way to uniquely identify the machines in the list so
we can tell if they are already registered.
For the pxe_ssh driver, this means the set of MAC addresses must intersect.
For other drivers, we think that the pm_address for each machine will be
unique. Would it be possible add some advice to that effect to Ironic's driver
API?
