  • configdrive_mb – Size of the configdrive partition in mebibytes (MiB). If 0, no partition will be created.

  • commit – True/False. Default for this setting is True. If False partitions will not be written to disk.

  • boot_option – Can be “local” or “netboot”. “netboot” by default.

  • boot_mode – Can be “bios” or “uefi”. “bios” by default.

  • node_uuid – Node’s uuid. Used for logging.

ironic_lib.disk_utils.trigger_device_rescan(device, attempts=None)[source]

Sync and trigger device rescan.

Disk partition performed via parted, when performed on a ramdisk do not have to honor the fsync mechanism. In essence, fsync is used on the file representing the block device, which falls to the kernel filesystem layer to trigger a sync event. On a ramdisk using ramfs, this is an explicit non-operation.

As a result of this, we need to trigger a system wide sync operation which will trigger cache to flush to disk, after which partition changes should be visible upon re-scan.

When ramdisks are not in use, this also helps ensure that data has been safely flushed across the wire, such as on iscsi connections.

Parameters

  • device – The block device containing paritions that is attempting to be updated.

  • attempts – Number of attempts to run partprobe, the default is read from the configuration.

Returns

True on success, False otherwise.

  • a numeric value

The format of the full metric name is:

_prefix<delim>name

where:

  • _prefix: [global_prefix<delim>][uuid<delim>][host_name<delim>]prefix

Parameters

name – The metric name.

Returns

The full metric name, with logger prefix, as a string.

send_counter(name, value, sample_rate=None)[source]
