Chapter 11. Bare Metal (ironic) Parameters

Parameter	Description
`IronicCleaningDiskErase`	Type of disk cleaning before and between deployments. `full` for full cleaning. `metadata` to clean only disk metadata (partition table). The default value is: `full`
`IronicCleaningNetwork`	Name or UUID of the overcloud network used for cleaning bare metal nodes. The default value of `provisioning` can be left during the initial deployment (when no networks are created yet) and should be changed to an actual UUID in a post-deployment stack update.
`IronicDefaultBootOption`	How to boot the bare metal instances. Set to `local` to use local bootloader (requires grub2 for partition images). Set to `netboot` to make the instances boot from controllers using PXE/iPXE. The default value is: `local`
`IronicDefaultNetworkInterface`	Network interface implementation to use by default. Set to `flat` to use one flat provider network. Set to `neutron` to make OpenStack Bare Metal (ironic) interact with the OpenStack Networking (neutron) ML2 driver to enable other network types and certain advances networking features. Requires `IronicProvisioningNetwork` to be correctly set. The default value is: `flat`
`IronicEnabledDrivers`	Enabled OpenStack Bare Metal (ironic) drivers. The default value is: `['pxe_ipmitool', 'pxe_drac', 'pxe_ilo']`
`IronicEnabledHardwareTypes`	Enabled OpenStack Bare Metal (ironic) hardware types. The default value is: `['ipmi', 'redfish']`
`IronicEnabledManagementInterfaces`	Enabled management interface implementations. Each hardware type must have at least one valid implementation enabled. The default value is: `['ipmitool', 'redfish']`
`IronicEnabledPowerInterfaces`	Enabled power interface implementations. Each hardware type must have at least one valid implementation enabled. The default value is: `['ipmitool', 'redfish']`
`IronicIPXEEnabled`	Whether to use iPXE instead of PXE for deployment. The default value is: `True`
`IronicIPXEPort`	Port to use for serving images when iPXE is used. The default value is: `8088`
`IronicInspectorIPXEEnabled`	Whether to use iPXE for inspection. The default value is: `True`
`IronicInspectorInterface`	Network interface on which inspection dnsmasq will listen. The default value is: `br-ex`
`IronicInspectorIpRange`	Temporary IP range that will be given to nodes during the inspection process. This should not overlap with any range that OpenStack Networking (neutron) DHCP gives away, but it has to be routeable back to `ironic-inspector`. This option has no meaningful defaults, and thus is required.
`IronicInspectorUseSwift`	Whether to use Swift for storing introspection data. The default value is: `True`
`IronicPassword`	The password for the Bare Metal service and database account.
`IronicProvisioningNetwork`	Name or UUID of the overcloud network used for provisioning of bare metal nodes if `IronicDefaultNetworkInterface` is set to `neutron`. The default value of `provisioning` can be left during the initial deployment (when no networks are created yet) and should be changed to an actual UUID in a post-deployment stack update. The default value is: `provisioning`
