Essential Priorities
====================

CI refactoring and missing test coverage
----------------------------------------
- not considered a priority, it's a 'do it always' thing
- Standalone CI tests (vsaienk0)
    - next patch to be reviewed, needed for 3rd party CI: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/429770/
- Missing test coverage (all)
    - portgroups and attach/detach tempest tests: https://review.openstack.org/382476
    - local boot with partition images: TODO https://bugs.launchpad.net/ironic/+bug/1531149
    - adoption: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/344975/
        - should probably be changed to use standalone tests
    - root device hints: TODO

Generic boot-from-volume (TheJulia, dtantsur)
---------------------------------------------
- specs and blueprints:
    - http://specs.openstack.org/openstack/ironic-specs/specs/approved/volume-connection-information.html
        - code: https://review.openstack.org/#/q/topic:bug/1526231

        - code: https://review.openstack.org/#/q/topic:bug/1559691
    - https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/ironic-boot-from-volume
        - code: https://review.openstack.org/#/q/topic:bp/ironic-boot-from-volume
- status as of 31 Jul 2017:
    - Patch/note tracking etherpad: https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/Ironic-BFV
        Ironic Patches:
            https://review.openstack.org/#/c/466333/ - Devstack changes or Boot from Volume - MERGED

            https://review.openstack.org/#/c/472740/ - Tempest test scenario for BFV - MERGED
                as soon as this merges, we need to promote the CI job to non-voting check
            https://review.openstack.org/#/c/486853/ - minor nits - APPROVED
            https://review.openstack.org/#/c/479326/ - BFV deploy follow-up - Requires revision
        Nova:
            https://review.openstack.org/#/c/215385 - Ironic: Support boot from cinder volume - MERGED
            https://review.openstack.org/#/c/468353 - Ironic: Get IP address for volume connector - --NOT REQUIRED FOR PIKE-- - Is a follow-up to the first nova patch to allow

Rolling upgrades and grenade-partial (rloo, jlvillal)
-----------------------------------------------------
- spec approved; code patches: https://review.openstack.org/#/q/topic:bug/1526283

            - this is the last critical code patch for this feature
    - to address restarting services after unpinning, spec ready for reviews: 'SIGHUP restarts services with updated configs': https://review.openstack.org/474309
    - Testing work: done as per spec, but rloo wants to ask vasyl whether we can improve. grenade test will do upgrade so we have old API sending requests to old and/or new conductor, but rloo doesn't think there is anything to control -which- conductor handles the request, so what if old conductor handles all the requests?
