This patch enables configfile autogeneration. It is triggered * implicitly on every sphinx build output dir: doc/source/html/_static/nova_dpm.conf.sample for doc inclusion * explicilty by tox -egenconfig output dir: etc/nova/nova_dpm.conf.sample * explicitly by tox -edocs output dir: etc/nova/nova_dpm.conf.sample In addition the return type of nova_dpm.conf.dpm.list_opts needed to be changed to the default format (list of tuples). Change-Id: Ib298b274f877d651dd846cac6525789c458da407 Closes-Bug: #1657701 |

OpenStack Nova driver and agent for IBM z Systems PR/SM hypervisor in DPM mode
On IBM z Systems, certain workloads run better in a logical partition than in a virtual machine of a software hypervisor such as KVM or z/VM.
The IBM z13 system (and IBM LinuxONE) introduced a new administrative mode named "Dynamic Partition Manager" (DPM) that allows for managing the firmware-based logical partition hypervisor (PR/SM) with the dynamic capabilities known from software-based hypervisors.
These new dynamic capabilities provided by the DPM mode enables PR/SM to act as a hypervisor managed by OpenStack using Nova.
This project supports adding the PR/SM hypervisor in DPM mode as a Nova hypervisor platform, by implementing a new Nova driver.
The other hypervisors on z Systems such as z/VM and KVM are already supported by OpenStack via Nova drivers. These drivers will continue to be supported. Adding support for PR/SM DPM allows addressing customers that need or want to run their workloads in logical partitions, and provides the advantage for them of using OpenStack as a uniform, standard, cloud management platform on z Systems.
