Launching an Ironic instance with file injection deploys instance without file injection

[Sergii Turivnyi]

Precondition:
 - Environment without Ceph
 - Ironic

Steps to reproduce:
 - on the all compute nodes in /etc/nova/nova.conf set inject_partition=-1
 - restart service nova-compute restart
 - navigate to the controller node
 - as demo user launch Ironic instance with file injection
execute:
touch myfile.txt
echo "# Hi there!!!" >> myfile.txt
nova boot \
        --flavor bm_flavor \
        --image virtual_ubuntu_trasty_ext4_demo \
        --key-name ironic_demo_key \
        --nic net-id=$(awk '{/baremetal/print $2'}) \
        --file /home/ubuntu/myfile.txt=myfile.txt \
        vm_test_img_01

Actual result:
There are no file in the /home/ubuntu/ directory on the instance

Expected result:
myfile.txt is in the /home/ubuntu/ directory on the instance

MOS Ironic, is file injection expected to work with baremetal instances at all?

[Roman Podoliaka (rpodolyaka)]

Closing the bug as Invalid after a month without feedback.

Sergii, feel free to re-open it, if you believe file injection must be supported by ironic virt driver in nova.

If it is not supported, then we will mark issue as wishlist for further improvement of Ironic in MOS.
