2023.2 (11.7.x) Series Release Notes

11.7.0-4

Bug Fixes

• In case the lldp raw data collected by the inspection process includes non utf-8 information, the parser fails breaking the inspection process. This patch works around that excluding the malformed data and adding an entry in the logs to provide information on the failed tlv.

• Fixes the Role Based Access Control state and capabilities to align with OpenStack Community RBAC goals which includes support for a service role by default to enable inter-service communication to be configured without an admin username. In large part, these changes were missed as the Inspector service is considered an “admin-only” service.

  Also in alignment with overall community position changes, where the admin role is sufficent without an explicit system scope. To help ensure a high level of security, explicit testing was also added for the manager role, which is unavailable as that role is reserved for administrative functions inside of a tenant’s project.

11.7.0

Deprecation Notes

• The ironic-inspector project is now in maintenance mode and will only receive bug fixes and other minor improvements from now on. The same functionality is being added to ironic itself. The preview of it is expected to be available in the Caracal release cycle, ironic-inspector will be deprecated afterwards.

Bug Fixes

• Fixes an issue where inspection would fail if an IPv6 address wrapped in brackets is used for the redfish BMC address. See bug: 2036455.
