Current Series Release Notes

7.3.0-5

New Features

• The ironic-python-agent-ramdisk element has been split into a base element and a full element. ironic-python-agent-ramdisk-base builds a minimal ramdisk, and ironic-python-agent-ramdisk extends it with additional functionality such as dhcp-all-interfaces.

Upgrade Notes

• The ironic-python-agent-podman element now verifies registry TLS by default. Override DIB_PULL_OPTIONS and DIB_RUN_OPTIONS to keep --tls-verify=false for a registry serving plain HTTP.

Bug Fixes

• The ironic-python-agent-podman element now writes pull_options and run_options into the ramdisk configuration as comma separated lists. These are list valued options in the agent, and lists split on commas rather than whitespace, so the previous space separated defaults reached the container runtime as a single argument and every container step failed. A space separated DIB_PULL_OPTIONS or DIB_RUN_OPTIONS supplied at build time is converted automatically.

• The ironic-python-agent-podman element no longer fails the image build when no container steps file is present at the default path. A ramdisk with no baked steps is the normal case for the runbook and deploy template workflow, so requiring one made the primary documented workflow impossible to build for. A missing file is still an error when DIB_STEPS_FILE_PATH was set explicitly.

7.3.0

Bug Fixes

• Fixes a delay of up to 30 seconds during boot when a node is deployed via virtual media without a configuration drive. The configuration drive resolution script now detects the Ironic boot device by its publisher id and, when that device has no config-2 label, concludes immediately that no configuration drive is present instead of polling for the full timeout. A stale config-2 partition left on a local disk no longer stalls boot.

7.2.0

Bug Fixes

• The ironic-python-agent-podman element was in a nonstandard subdirectory, dib/elements/ when all of the other elements are in dib/ directly.

  This element has been moved into the standard location.
