13.0.4
^^^^^^


New Features
************

* For baremetal operations on DHCPv6-stateful networks multiple IPv6
  addresses can now be allocated for neutron ports created for
  provisioning, cleaning, rescue or inspection. The new parameter
  "[neutron]/dhcpv6_stateful_address_count" controls the number of
  addresses to allocate (Default: 1).

* Makes management interface of "redfish" hardware type not changing
  current boot frequency if currently set is the same as the desired
  one. The goal is to avoid touching potentially faulty BMC option
  whenever possible.

* Adds a new "[ipmi]debug" option that allows users to explicitly
  turn IPMI command debugging on, as opposed to relying upon the
  system debug setting "[DEFAULT]debug". Users wishing to continue to
  log this output should set "[ipmi]debug" to "True" in their
  ironic.conf.


Known Issues
************

* Some redfish-enabled hardware is known not to support persistent
  boot device setting that is used by the Bare Metal service for
  deployed instances. The "redfish" hardware type tries to work around
  this problem, but rebooting such an instance in-band may cause it to
  boot incorrectly. A predictable boot order should be configured in
  the node's boot firmware to avoid issues and at least metadata
  cleaning must be enabled. See this mailing list thread
  (http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-
  discuss/2020-April/014543.html) for technical details.


Upgrade Notes
*************

* Changing minimum version of Ansible for use with the "ansible"
  "deploy_interface" to version 2.5.

* The version of "sushy" can now be updated to "3.2.0" or later to
  address issues with managing persistant boot mode setting with
  Redfish Baseboard Management Controllers.

* If "[DEFAULT]force_raw_images" is set to "true", then MD5 will not
  be utilized to recalculate the image checksum. This requires the
  "ironic-python-agent" ramdisk to be at least version 3.4.0.

* Debug logging control has been moved to the "[ipmi]debug"
  configuration setting as opposed to the "conductor" "[DEFAULT]debug"
  setting as the existing "ipmitool" output can be extremely
  misleading for users. Operators who wish to continue to log
  "ipmitool" verbose output in their logs should explicitly set the
  "[ipmi]debug" command to True.


Security Issues
***************

* Image checksum recalculation when images are forced to raw images,
  are now calculated using SHA3-256 if MD5 was selected. This is now
  unconditional.


Bug Fixes
*********

* Fixes an issue with the agent client code where checks of the
  agent command status had no logic to prevent an intermittent or
  transient connection failure from causing the entire operation to
  fail.

* Fixes the default disk detection in the "ansible" deploy interface
  with Python 3. Previously a random disk was used, resulting in boot
  failures, now the first disk is used (as intended). This required
  bumping the minimum required Ansible version to 2.5.

* Fixes 'Invalid parameter value for SpanLength' when configuring
  RAID using Python 3. This passed incorrect data type to iDRAC, e.g.,
  instead of *2* it passed *2.0*. See story 2004265
  (https://storyboard.openstack.org/#!/story/2004265).

* Fixes RAID configuration using *idrac-wsman* RAID interface where
  node remains in 'clean wait' provisioning state forever. See story
  2007567 (https://storyboard.openstack.org/#!/story/2007567).

* Fixes an issue where a node may be locked from changes if a
  conductor's hostname case is changed before restarting the conductor
  service.

* Improves interoperability with Redfish BMCs by untying node boot
  mode change from other boot parameters change (such as boot device,
  boot frequency). This fix requires a newer version of the "sushy"
  library, version "3.2.0".

* Fixes vague node "last_error" field reporting upon deploy step
  failure by providing the exception error message in addition to the
  step that failed.

* The 'no address available' problem seen when network booting on
  DHCPv6-stateful networks is fixed with the support for allocating
  multiple IPv6 addresses. See bug: 1861032
  (https://bugs.launchpad.net/neutron/+bug/1861032).

* Fixes an agent command issue in the bootloader installation
  process that can present itself as a connection timeout under heavy
  IO load conditions. Now installation commands have an internal
  timeout which is double the conductor wide "[agent]command_timeout".
  For more information, see bug 2007483
  (https://storyboard.openstack.org/#!/story/2007483).

* Fixed a bug where rebooting a node managed by the "idrac" hardware
  type when using the WS-MAN power interface sometimes fails with a
  "The command failed to set RequestedState" error.  See bug 2007487
  (https://storyboard.openstack.org/#!/story/2007487) for details.

* To provide a workaround for incorrect boot order problems on some
  hardware, the "redfish" hardware type now supports the "noop"
  management interface, similarly to IPMI and SNMP.

* Rebooting a node with the "redfish" power interface is now
  implemented via a power off request followed by power on to avoid
  returning success when a node stays powered on after the reboot
  request.

* Provides a workaround for hardware that does not support
  persistent boot device setting with the "redfish" hardware type.
  When such situation is detected, ironic will fall back to one-time
  boot device setting, restoring it on every reboot.


Other Notes
***********

* Ramdisk logs are now collected during cleaning the same way as
  during deployment.
