Nics are still needed for drivers that need to know the boot MAC of the
machine, such as PXE.

[openstack-dev] [bifrost] Question about the "nics" argument provide to ansible os_ironic module.

2016-08-23 Thread hu . zhijiang
Hi Bifrost Team,

>From the code study about Bifrost and Shade I found that the "nics" 
argument provide to ansible's os_ironic module is used for creating ports 
for a bare metal. I think it is related to neutron. But for bifrost which 
uses ironic in standalone mode, there is no need to create ports like 
this. So I don't know why we need to provide the "nics" argument. Is it 
optional or even shall be hidden from Bifrost user's eyes?

Thanks.

B.R.,
Zhijiang
