Hi all,
We're about to remove the iSCSI deploy interface. Please make sure that you update your deployments **before** upgrading to Xena.
Please let us know if you have any troubles with migrating to a different deploy interface.

Hi all,
Following up to the previous mailing list [1] and virtual meetup [2] discussions, I would like to announce the plans to deprecate the 'iscsi' deploy interface.
This is the updated plan discussed on the virtual meetup:
- In the Victoria cycle (i.e. right now):
- Fill in the detected feature gaps [3].
- Switch off the iscsi deploy interface by default.
- Change [agent]image_dowload_source to HTTP by default.
- Give the direct deploy a higher priority, so that it's used by default
unless disabled.
- Mark it as deprecated in the code (causing warnings when enabled).
- Release a major version of ironic to highlight the defaults changes.
- In the W cycle:
- Keep the iscsi deploy deprecated.
- Listen to operators' feedback.
- In the X cycle
- Remove the iscsi deploy completely from ironic and IPA.
- Remove support code from ironic-lib with a major version bump.
Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns.
