class ironic.drivers.base.BIOSInterface(*args, **kwargs)[source]

Bases: BaseInterface

abstract apply_configuration(task, settings)[source]

Validate & apply BIOS settings on the given node.

This method takes the BIOS settings from the settings param and applies BIOS settings on the given node. It may also validate the given bios settings before applying any settings and manage failures when setting an invalid BIOS config. In the case of needing password to update the BIOS config, it will be taken from the driver_info properties. After the BIOS configuration is done, cache_bios_settings will be called to update the node’s BIOS setting table with the BIOS configuration applied on the node.

Parameters:
  • task – a TaskManager instance.

  • settings – Dictionary containing the BIOS configuration.

Raises:

UnsupportedDriverExtension, if the node’s driver doesn’t support BIOS configuration.

Raises:

InvalidParameterValue, if validation of settings fails.

Raises:

MissingParameterValue, if some required parameters are missing.

Returns:

states.CLEANWAIT if BIOS configuration is in progress asynchronously or None if it is complete.

abstract cache_bios_settings(task)[source]

Store or update BIOS properties on the given node.

This method stores BIOS properties to the bios_settings table during ‘cleaning’ operation and updates bios_settings table when apply_configuration() and factory_reset() are called to set new BIOS configurations. It will also update the timestamp of each bios setting.

Parameters:

task – a TaskManager instance.

Raises:

UnsupportedDriverExtension, if the node’s driver doesn’t support getting BIOS properties from bare metal.

Returns:

None.

abstract factory_reset(task)[source]

This method is called before deploy.

Parameters:

task – A TaskManager instance containing the node to act on.

prepare_cleaning(task)[source]

Prepare the node for cleaning tasks.

For example, nodes that use the Ironic Python Agent will need to boot the ramdisk in order to do in-band cleaning tasks.

If the function is asynchronous, the driver will need to handle settings node.driver_internal_info[‘clean_steps’] and node.clean_step, as they would be set in ironic.conductor.manager._do_node_clean, but cannot be set when this is asynchronous. After, the interface should make an RPC call to continue_node_cleaning to start cleaning.

NOTE(JoshNang) this should be moved to BootInterface when it gets implemented.

Parameters:

task – A TaskManager instance containing the node to act on.

Returns:

If this function is going to be asynchronous, should return states.CLEANWAIT. Otherwise, should return None. The interface will need to call _get_cleaning_steps and then RPC to continue_node_cleaning

prepare_service(task)[source]

Prepare the node for servicing tasks.

For example, nodes that use the Ironic Python Agent will need to boot the ramdisk in order to do in-band service tasks.

If the function is asynchronous, the driver will need to handle settings node.driver_internal_info[‘service_steps’] and node.service_step, as they would be set in ironic.conductor.manager._do_node_service, but cannot be set when this is asynchronous. After, the interface should make an RPC call to continue_node_servicing to start cleaning.

Parameters:

task – A TaskManager instance containing the node to act on.

Returns:

If this function is going to be asynchronous, should return states.SERVICEWAIT. Otherwise, should return None. The interface will need to call _get_cleaning_steps and then RPC to continue_node_service.

abstract take_over(task)[source]

Take over management of this task’s node from a dead conductor.

If conductors’ hosts maintain a static relationship to nodes, this method should be implemented by the driver to allow conductors to perform the necessary work during the remapping of nodes to conductors when a conductor joins or leaves the cluster.

For example, the PXE driver has an external dependency:

Neutron must forward DHCP BOOT requests to a conductor which has prepared the tftpboot environment for the given node. When a conductor goes offline, another conductor must change this setting in Neutron as part of remapping that node’s control to itself. This is performed within the takeover method.

Parameters:

task – A TaskManager instance containing the node to act on.

abstract tear_down(task)[source]

ironic.drivers.base.clean_step(priority, abortable=False, argsinfo=None, requires_ramdisk=True)[source]

Decorator for cleaning steps.

Cleaning steps may be used in manual or automated cleaning.

For automated cleaning, only steps with priorities greater than 0 are used. These steps are ordered by priority from highest value to lowest value. For steps with the same priority, they are ordered by driver interface priority (see conductor.steps.CLEANING_INTERFACE_PRIORITY). execute_clean_step() will be called on each step.

For manual cleaning, the clean steps will be executed in a similar fashion to automated cleaning, but the steps and order of execution must be explicitly specified by the user when invoking the cleaning API.

Decorated clean steps must take as the only positional argument, a TaskManager object. Clean steps used in manual cleaning may also take keyword variable arguments (as described in argsinfo).

Clean steps can be either synchronous or asynchronous. If the step is synchronous, it should return None when finished, and the conductor will continue on to the next step. While the clean step is executing, the node will be in states.CLEANING provision state. If the step is asynchronous, the step should return states.CLEANWAIT to the conductor before it starts the asynchronous work. When the step is complete, the step should make an RPC call to continue_node_clean to move to the next step in cleaning. The node will be in states.CLEANWAIT provision state during the asynchronous work.

Examples:

class MyInterface(base.BaseInterface):
    # CONF.example_cleaning_priority should be an int CONF option
    @base.clean_step(priority=CONF.example_cleaning_priority)
    def example_cleaning(self, task):
        # do some cleaning

    @base.clean_step(priority=0, abortable=True, argsinfo=
                     {'size': {'description': 'size of widget (MB)',
                               'required': True}})
    def advanced_clean(self, task, **kwargs):
        # do some advanced cleaning
Parameters:
  • priority – an integer priority, should be a CONF option

  • abortable – Boolean value. Whether the clean step is abortable or not; defaults to False.

  • argsinfo

    a dictionary of keyword arguments where key is the name of the argument and value is a dictionary as follows:

    'description': <description>. Required. This should include
                   possible values.
    'required': Boolean. Optional; default is False. True if this
                argument is required.  If so, it must be specified in
                the clean request; false if it is optional.
    

  • requires_ramdisk – Whether this step requires the ramdisk to be running. Should be set to False for purely out-of-band steps.

Raises:

InvalidParameterValue – if any of the arguments are invalid

ironic.drivers.base.deploy_step(priority, argsinfo=None)[source]

Decorator for deployment steps.

Only steps with priorities greater than 0 are used. These steps are ordered by priority from highest value to lowest value. For steps with the same priority, they are ordered by driver interface priority (see conductor.steps.DEPLOYING_INTERFACE_PRIORITY). execute_deploy_step() will be called on each step.

Decorated deploy steps must take as the only positional argument, a TaskManager object.

Deploy steps can be either synchronous or asynchronous. If the step is synchronous, it should return None when finished, and the conductor will continue on to the next step. While the deploy step is executing, the node will be in states.DEPLOYING provision state. If the step is asynchronous, the step should return states.DEPLOYWAIT to the conductor before it starts the asynchronous work. When the step is complete, the step should make an RPC call to continue_node_deploy to move to the next step in deployment. The node will be in states.DEPLOYWAIT provision state during the asynchronous work.

Examples:

class MyInterface(base.BaseInterface):
    @base.deploy_step(priority=100)
    def example_deploying(self, task):
        # do some deploying
Parameters:
  • priority – an integer (>=0) priority; used for determining the order in which the step is run in the deployment process.

  • argsinfo

    a dictionary of keyword arguments where key is the name of the argument and value is a dictionary as follows:

    'description': <description>. Required. This should include
                   possible values.
    'required': Boolean. Optional; default is False. True if this
                argument is required.  If so, it must be specified in
                the deployment request; false if it is optional.
    

Raises:

InvalidParameterValue – if any of the arguments are invalid

ironic.drivers.base.driver_passthru(http_methods, method=None, async_call=True, description=None, attach=False)[source]
ironic.drivers.base.passthru(http_methods, method=None, async_call=True, description=None, attach=False, require_exclusive_lock=True)[source]
ironic.drivers.base.service_step(priority=None, abortable=False, argsinfo=None, requires_ramdisk=True)[source]

Decorator for service steps.

Service steps may be used in performing service upon a node.

For service, the steps will be executed in a similar fashion to cleaning, but the steps and order of execution must be explicitly specified by the user when invoking the servicing API.

Decorated service steps must take as the only a single positional argument, a TaskManager object, in addition to a keyword arguments variable (as described in argsinfo).

Service steps can be either synchronous or asynchronous. If the step is synchronous, it should return None when finished, and the conductor will continue on to the next step. While the clean step is executing, the node will be in states.SERVICING provision state. If the step is asynchronous, the step should return states.SERVICEWAIT to the conductor before it starts the asynchronous work. When the step is complete, the step should make an RPC call to continue_node_service to move to the next step in servicing. The node will be in states.SERVICEWAIT provision state during the asynchronous work.

Examples:

class MyInterface(base.BaseInterface):
    @base.service_step()
    def example_service(self, task):
        # do some service actions

    @base.service_step(priority=0, abortable=True, argsinfo=
                       {'size': {'description': 'size of widget (MB)',
                                 'required': True}})
    def advanced_service(self, task, **kwargs):
        # do some advanced magical service
Parameters:
  • priority – an integer priority, defaults to None which maps to 0. Priorities are not considered, by default but exists should this functionality be adopted later on to align with the steps framework.

  • abortable – Boolean value. Whether the clean step is abortable or not; defaults to False.

  • argsinfo

    a dictionary of keyword arguments where key is the name of the argument and value is a dictionary as follows:

    'description': <description>. Required. This should include
                   possible values.
    'required': Boolean. Optional; default is False. True if this
                argument is required.  If so, it must be specified in
                the service request; false if it is optional.
    

  • requires_ramdisk – Whether this step requires the ramdisk to be running. Should be set to False for purely out-of-band steps.

Raises:

InvalidParameterValue – if any of the arguments are invalid

ironic.drivers.base.verify_step(priority)[source]

Decorator for verify steps.

Only steps with priorities greater than 0 are used. These steps are ordered by priority from highest value to lowest value. For steps with the same priority, they are ordered by driver interface priority (see conductor.steps.VERIFY_INTERFACE_PRIORITY). execute_verify_step() will be called on each step.

Decorated verify steps must take as the only positional argument, a TaskManager object.

Verify steps are synchronous and should return None when finished, and the conductor will continue on to the next step. While the verify step is executing, the node will be in states.VERIFYING provision state.

Examples:

class MyInterface(base.BaseInterface):
    @base.verify_step(priority=100)
    def example_verifying(self, task):
        # do some verifying
Parameters:

priority – an integer (>=0) priority; used for determining the order in which the step is run in the verification process.

Raises:

InvalidParameterValue – if any of the arguments are invalid
