Juno Release Notes

This wiki is a Work-In-Progress

A complete log of work completed during Juno can be found here: https://launchpad.net/ironic/juno/2014.2

Key Features

  • The Nova "ironic" driver is in the Nova code base. In Icehouse, the Nova "ironic" driver was not in the Nova code base. Now that it is in the Nova code base, it is no longer necessary to install Ironic on the nova-compute hosts.
    • nova rebuild is supported by the nova.virt.ironic driver
    • ephemeral partitioning is supported
  • IPMI sensor data can be emitted (eg to Ceilometer)
  • New drivers: DRAC power & management driver, iLO power & deploy driver, SNMP power driver, ramdisk agent deploy driver, iBoot PDU power driver
  • plug-in mechanism for external DHCP providers
  • UEFI-boot support
  • iPXE boot support
  • Serial-over-LAN console is supported. The IPMItool and NativeIPMI drivers support serial console.

Known Issues

  • IPMI passwords are visible to users with cloud admin privileges, via Ironic's API.

Upgrade Notes

Icehouse to Juno

oh god.

Baremetal to Ironic

To understand the process of migrating from Nova's "baremetal" driver to its "ironic" driver, please see: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Ironic/NovaBaremetalIronicMigration. Note that Nova's "baremetal" driver will be removed in Kilo.
