[openstack-dev] [nova] FFE request for passing capabilities in the flavor to ironic

2015-02-06 Thread Hsu, Wan-Yen
Hi,

   I would like to ask for a feature freeze exception for passing capabilities 
in the flavor to Ironic:

  
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/pass-flavor-capabilities-to-ironic-virt-driver

Addressed by: https://review.openstack.org/136104
Pass on the capabilities in the flavor to the ironic

   Addressed by: https://review.openstack.org/141012
   Pass on the capabilities to instance_info
several Ironic Kilo features including secure boot, trusted boot, and local 
boot support with partition image are depending on this feature.  It also has 
impact on Ironic vendor driver's hardware property introspection feature.

 Code changes to support this spec in Nova ironic virt driver is very small-
only 31 lines of code (including comments) in nova/virt/ironic/patcher.py,  
and 22 lines of code in test_patcher.py.

   Please consider approving this FFE.  Thanks!

Regards,
wanyen

[openstack-dev] [Ironic] UEFI boot design spec no longer requires Nova changes

2014-07-28 Thread Hsu, Wan-Yen
Hi,

The UEFI Boot design spec 
https://review.openstack.org/#/c/99850https://review.openstack.org/#/c/99850/7
 has removed its Nova dependencies.  The new version of the spec uses compute 
capabilities filter to support UEFI only or BIOS only boot mode.   The 
capability filter is already supported by Ironic therefore the UEFI boot design 
spec does not require changes in Nova scheduler nor Nova Ironic virt driver. 
Please consider this spec for Juno.  Thanks!


Regards,
wanyen

[openstack-dev] [Ironic] comment on IceHouse firmware update etherpad

2013-11-18 Thread Hsu, Wan-Yen
Hi,

 I read the etherpad for firmware update.I have a comment:

* if the node already has an instance on it, do we want to be able to 
update the firmware
o   tenant shouldn't care/know about firmware updates
o   need to migrate off first, so no
o   i.e. we can't disrupt the tenant

   IMO the decision should be pending on platform capability.  Some platforms 
can stage firmware update online or update firmware online.  Therefore, it is 
fine to update firmware on those platforms even when instances are running on 
them.  IMO Ironic should let platform to decide whether it can update firmware  
or stage firmware update when a node already has an instance on it.  I think 
this can be done via an API.  Thanks!

Regards,
WH
