In Development - Unreleased¶

Adds manufacturer, model and system UUID information to the redfish sensor data collector.

Using ironic.api.wsgi:initialize_wsgi_app to provide custom config file to ironic is now deprecated.

Instead, two new environment variables IRONIC_CONFIG_DIR and IRONIC_CONFIG_FILE are introduced to provide the same functionality.

When caching an image between different file systems, the hard link operation would fail. This is fixed by falling back to a copy operation.

Fixes an issue around handling of portgroup updates where the associated node ID is changed. While a rare operation, it exists as a capability and a bug existed from the wrong ID value being used to query the database. The correct ID value is now utilized.

Fixes ironic’s pxe filter logic which some operators may leverage to restrict access to resources as related to hardware discovery use cases. The launcher was inadvertently broken during the removal of eventlet.

Fixes an issue where the redfish-virtual-media interface is using version ranges with Dell iDRAC BMCs to report compatibility. Dell has changed the versioning structure for iDRAC10s which triggered the error. That being said, it appears the iDRAC10s are also incompatible as well. The error message now clearly indicates what versions are known to work with the stock redfish virtual media support. Users should instead use the idrac variant boot interface.

Fixed HttpImageService.validate_href() ImageRefValidationFailed exception if protocol is HTTP/HTTPS and the HTTP header response is a redirection other then 301 (MOVED_PERMANENTLY). HTTP/HTTPS protocol is often used under standalone Ironic configuration to identify an image source (e.g –instance-info image_source=<URI>). The HTTP server may use redirection to load balance or geographically distribute the requests, or simply point to the correct URL. The redirection may vary from 301 (MOVED_PERMANENTLY), to 302 (FOUND), or 307 (TEMPORARY_REDIRECT), and 308 (PERMANENT_REDIRECT).

Fixes an issue where some iDRAC10 machines requires a specific Virtual Media Slot. Ironic will attempt to automatically identify the version, and ensures the right slot is used to insert the iso. See bug 2125571 for details.

Fixes deploying OCI artifacts uploaded by ORAS to Quay.io (and potentially other registries) as a single manifest.

Improved Redfish compatibility with ASRock Rack servers by updating how boot mode and boot device settings are applied.

Previously, calls to set_boot_device and set_boot_mode only included minimal parameters (e.g., BootOverrideTarget and BootOverrideMode), which were insufficient for certain vendor implementations like ASRockRack.

This fix updates the Redfish driver to send the full payload, including BootSourceOverrideEnabled, BootSourceOverrideTarget, BootSourceOverrideMode, ensuring better compliance and reliability on these platforms.

For consistency with other OpenStack projects, Ironic API’s wsgi server can now be launched via ironic.wsgi.api:application as well as ironic.wsgi:application.
