CI is failing as Ironic fails to start

[maelk]

you also reported the following error in the chat :

Failed to register hardware types. For hardware type 'fake-hardware', no default value found for bios interface.: ironic.common.exception.NoValidDefaultForInterface: For hardware type 'fake-hardware', no default value found for bios interface.

.common.exception.NoValidDefaultForInterface: For hardware type 'fake-hardware', no default value found for bios interface.

@maelk Yes. Thanks for reminding. I will update the issue description

[maelk]

We could try to set a default bios interface also. Accroding to the docs :

# Specify the list of bios interfaces to load during service
# initialization. Missing bios interfaces, or bios interfaces
# which fail to initialize, will prevent the ironic-conductor
# service from starting. At least one bios interface that is
# supported by each enabled hardware type must be enabled
# here, or the ironic-conductor service will not start. Must
# not be an empty list. The default value is a recommended set
# of production-oriented bios interfaces. A complete list of
# bios interfaces present on your system may be found by
# enumerating the "ironic.hardware.interfaces.bios"
# entrypoint. When setting this value, please make sure that
# every enabled hardware type will have the same set of
# enabled bios interfaces on every ironic-conductor service.
# (list value)
#enabled_bios_interfaces = no-bios

# Default bios interface to be used for nodes that do not have
# bios_interface field set. A complete list of bios interfaces
# present on your system may be found by enumerating the
# "ironic.hardware.interfaces.bios" entrypoint. (string value)
#default_bios_interface = <None>

So we could try to set the default_bios_interface to no-bios ? and the enabled interfaces to no-bios and idrac-wsman ?

Please avoid setting the defaults, it never helps to solve this particular problem. Setting the right enabled interfaces should be enough.

@maelk @kashifest
Should this issue be closed?

[maelk]

Since we reverted the problematic commit, this issue is solved. However, this is a good hint on how to proceed with the next attempt @demonCoder95

[demonCoder95]

I'll get onto it. Thanks @maelk

[demonCoder95]

We can close this issue. I'll get a PR going for the interfaces.

[maelk]

ok, thank you !
