StackHPC Ironic Inspector Plugins

=================================

This repository hosts plugins for use with the OpenStack Hardware Discovery

service, ironic inspector.

Plugins

=======

Infiniband Physical Network

---------------------------

The ``ib_physnet`` plugin populates the ``physical_network`` field of ironic

ports determined to be Infiniband ports. Ports with a ``client-id`` field

in their ``extra`` attribute are determined to be IB ports.

The plugin is configured via the option ``[port_physnet] ib_physnet``, which is

the name of the physical network to apply.

System Name Local Link Connection

---------------------------------

The ``system_name_llc`` plugin uses LLDP data gathered by the discovery ramdisk

to populate the ``switch_info`` field of the ``local_link_connection``

attribute of ironic ports.  The field is populated with the contents of the

system name LLDP TLV if it was received by that port.

System Name Physical Network

----------------------------

The ``system_name_physnet`` plugin uses LLDP data gathered by the discovery

ramdisk to populate the ``physical_network`` field of ironic ports.

The plugin is configured via the option ``[port_physnet]

switch_sys_name_mapping``, which is a comma-separated list of ``:`` tuples.  If the switch system name LLDP TLV received

by a port matches an item in the mapping, the corresponding physical network

will be applied to the port.
