Dmitry Tantsur 216e40f903 Prevent abnormal timeout values from breaking sync with ironic
I had a case when an operator set the timeout too a abnormally large
value, which caused OverflowError in the timeout clean_up task, which,
in turn, prevented ironic-inspector from ever running node list sync
with ironic.

This change makes two corrections:
* The timeout configuration is limited to 10 years (0 can still be used
  to disable the timeout completely).
* Errors in the clean_up task do not prevent the node list sync from
  running.

Hardware introspection for OpenStack Bare Metal

Introduction

image

This is an auxiliary service for discovering hardware properties for a node managed by Ironic. Hardware introspection or hardware properties discovery is a process of getting hardware parameters required for scheduling from a bare metal node, given its power management credentials (e.g. IPMI address, user name and password).

Note

ironic-inspector was called ironic-discoverd before version 2.0.0.
