<div><div dir="auto">I am in support of getting this in, but ironic is essentially at the time for our release window for 13.0.0 as we need to create the stable/train branch. To do this will force 13.1 to be the final version to train if we need to back-port this patch. I can review it tonight after my meetings, and possibly Dmitry or another core can review and if they feel that it can be approved tomorrow.</div></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">I guess the deterrent for me mentally at this point is we’ve already geared documentation towards 13.0.0 being the Train release.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">-Julia</div><div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Mon, Sep 23, 2019 at 8:10 PM <<a href="mailto:Richard.Pioso@dell.com">Richard.Pioso@dell.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Hi,<br>
<br>
I request a late feature freeze exception (FFE) for <a href="https://review.opendev.org/#/c/672498/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://review.opendev.org/#/c/672498/</a> -- "Add Redfish vmedia boot interface to idrac HW type". There is high demand from operators for this feature. They would be delighted if it were included in Train.<br>
<br>
We believe it is a low risk change, because of the following:<br>
<br>
1) It affects only the idrac hardware type.<br>
2) The highest priority boot interfaces supported by the idrac hardware type remain so. 'ipxe' and 'pxe' continue to have the highest priority, and the new 'idrac-redfish-virtual-media' has the lowest priority. The new order from highest to lowest priority is 'ipxe', 'pxe', and 'idrac-redfish-virtual-media'.<br>
3) The new interface is based on and almost entirely leverages an already merged interface implementation, 'redfish-virtual-media'. [1]<br>
<br>
Please let me know if you have any concerns or questions. Thank you for your consideration.<br>
<br>
Rick<br>
