We manage a fairly large nova-baremetal installation at Yahoo. And while we've developed tools to hit the nova-bm API, we're planning to move to ironic without any support for the nova BM API. Definitely no interest in the proxy API from our end.  Sometimes you just need to let a thing die.  -Ja

Hey Sonia,  Do the backing file and instance directory exist? "-drive file=/opt/stack/data/nova/instances/3765ec4d-48d0-4f0b-9f7d-2f73ee3a3852/disk" implies that both that directory exists and the instance image is contained within it.  -James On Tuesday, May 13, 2014 6:22 AM, sonia verma wrot

I'm very much against it. In my environment we're going to be depending heavily on the nova scheduler for affinity/anti-affinity of physical datacenter constructs, TOR, Power, etc. Like other operators we need to also have a concept of host aggregates and availability zones for our baremetal as w
