Hi,

We are glad to present this week's priorities and subteam report for Ironic. As usual, this is pulled directly from the Ironic whiteboard[0] and formatted.

This Week's Priorities (as of the weekly ironic meeting)
========================================================
1. CI migration to Zuul v3: take legacy jobs in tree: https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/ironic-zuulv3-intree-tracking
    1.1. Clean up ironic-lib: https://review.openstack.org/518622 (jlvillal) MERGED
    1.2. Clean up ironic-python-agent: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/518613/ (jlvillal)
    1.3. Finish Bifrost (TheJulia)
2. Release ironic after oneview reverts below land (they are approved, waiting to merge). This is really for dtantsur to do.
3. Midcycle planning: https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/ironic-queens-midcycle
4. Rework keystone auth for Glance: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/467728/
5. BIOS interface spec: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/496481/
6. Rescue:
    6.1. db https://review.openstack.org/#/c/509334/
    6.2. driver interface https://review.openstack.org/#/c/509335/
    6.3. RPC https://review.openstack.org/#/c/509336/
    6.4. rescuewait timeout https://review.openstack.org/#/c/353156

Vendor priorities
-----------------
cisco-ucs:
    Patchs in works for SDK update, but not posted yet, currently rebuilding third party CI infra after a disaster...
idrac:

ilo:
    https://review.openstack.org/207337 - Out-of-band Boot from UEFI iSCSI volume for HPE Proliant server
irmc:
    SPEC to add a new hardware type for another FUJITSU server: PRIMEQUEST MMB:
    https://review.openstack.org/#/c/515717/ 2x +2, awaits last-minute comments

oneview:
    HIGH PRIORITY: need to revert changes that moved from python-oneviewclient to hpOneView library; this is blocking the ironic release (they're are already chained from 1 to 8. Ping ricardoas, nicodemos or fellypefca if there is some issue)
https://review.openstack.org/#/c/518766/
https://review.openstack.org/#/c/518768/
https://review.openstack.org/#/c/518769/
https://review.openstack.org/518770
https://review.openstack.org/518771
https://review.openstack.org/518772
https://review.openstack.org/518773
https://review.openstack.org/518774

    Add validations for OneView ML2 driver -  https://review.openstack.org/#/c/508946/

Subproject priorities
---------------------
bifrost:
ironic-inspector (or its client):
    dnsmasq-based inspector PXE filter driver: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/466448/ TL;DR: replaces iptables with a dynamic configuration of dnsmasq (pretty cool thing too ;)
    folks might consider trying the test patch to experiment manually with this https://review.openstack.org/#/c/468712/54
networking-baremetal:
    neutron baremetal agent https://review.openstack.org/#/c/456235/
sushy and the redfish driver:
    (dtantsur) implement redfish sessions: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/471942/

OpenStack Priorities
====================

Python 3.5 compatibility (Nisha, Ankit)
---------------------------------------
- Topic: https://review.openstack.org/#/q/topic:goal-python35+NOT+project:openstack/governance+NOT+project:openstack/releases
    - this include all projects, not only ironic
    - please tag all reviews with topic "goal-python35"
other patches for experimental gates are not merging as core reviewers are asking to add the python3 builder in running gates instead of duplicating them in project-config project. https://review.openstack.org/462487,
https://review.openstack.org/462695, https://review.openstack.org/462701 and https://review.openstack.org/462706
- Raised https://review.openstack.org/495766 for testing ironic-inspector without swift functionality - planning to raise the same under ironic-inspector under zuulv3.
- Raised https://review.openstack.org/#/c/515036/ in ironic-inspector
- anupn to update the python3 job to build tinyipa with python3
- we need to make the ironic job voting eventually. but we need to check that nova, glance and neutron already have voting python 3 jobs, otherwise they may break us.

Deploying with Apache and WSGI in CI (vsaienk0)
-----------------------------------------------
- ironic is mostly finished
    - (pas-ha) needs to be rewritten for uWSGI, patches on review https://review.openstack.org/#/c/507011/3
    - do we have install-guide bits on how to do it?
- inspector is TODO and depends on https://review.openstack.org/#/q/topic:bug/1525218

Split away the tempest plugin (jlvillal)
----------------------------------------
- Proposed patch to create all the patches: https://review.openstack.org/489762  Merged!! :)
- Current (13-Nov-2017) (jlvillal): We will wait for jlvillal to return from his vacation (late November/early December) to proceed
    - This means that the following projects need to be working for stable branches:
        - openstack/ironic: Done
        - openstack/ironic-python-agent
        - openstack/ironic-lib
        - openstack/ironic-inspector
- jlvillal talked to infra and they suggested we do a batch upload as there are about 70 patches to merge in.
- need to port new patches in ironic/ironic-tempest-plugin (jlvillal)
- need to migrate ironic-inspector/ironic-tempest-plugin (jlvillal)

Subprojects
===========

Inspector (dtantsur, milan)
---------------------------
- https://bugs.launchpad.net/ironic/+bug/1725211 was reported; the introspection abort thru ironic (spec https://review.openstack.org/#/c/482867/) should be "based" on this (goal from virtual inspector PTG)
- let's focus on the dnsmasq-based PXE filter driver implementation as this week's inspector review priority
- HA demo seems closer: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/510928/ solved my obvious introspection state discrepancies \0/

Bifrost (TheJulia)
------------------
- Quiet - TheJulia needs to pick backup a few items here in the short term. Volunteers to work on CI job migration would be appreciated.

ironic-ui (ppiela, TheJulia)
----------------------------
- Selection of interfaces upon enroll is up for review and requiers another review:
    - https://review.openstack.org/#/c/473957
