The is_root_volume config option has been listed in the documentation for a while, but has not been supported by the IPA. With this patch, if there is a logical disk in the target_raid_config with the setting is_root_volume: True, it will be picked up as the root device (root_device hints will not even be checked). Additionally, if is_root_volume: False, for a volume then it will be excluded from the list of possible root devices used by the root_device hints.

Ironic Python Agent
Team and repository tags
Overview
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

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