Pierre Riteau aab9f53b66 Fix BMC IP address detection on CoreOS images
On CoreOS images, IPA runs in a Debian Jessie chroot which uses mawk as
its default awk implementation. However, mawk doesn't support POSIX
character classes such as [:space:], which means get_bmc_address() fails
to parse the BMC IP address from the output of ipmitool.

This patch replaces the use of [[:space:]] by [ \t] which is equivalent
for the purpose of parsing the output of ipmitool. Note that matching on
tab characters is not strictly required as the packaged version of
ipmitool only uses space characters, but is left in case tabs are used
in other versions.

ironic-python-agent

An agent for controlling and deploying Ironic controlled baremetal nodes.

The ironic-python-agent works with the agent driver in Ironic to provision the node. Starting with ironic-python-agent running on a ramdisk on the unprovisioned node, Ironic makes API calls to ironic-python-agent to provision the machine. This allows for greater control and flexibility of the entire deployment process.

The ironic-python-agent may also be used with the original Ironic pxe drivers as of the Kilo OpenStack release.

Building the IPA deployment ramdisk

For more information see the Image Builder section of the Ironic Python Agent developer guide.

Using IPA with devstack

This is covered in the Deploying Ironic with DevStack section of the Ironic dev-quickstart guide.
