openstack/ironic — 2026-11-14

Feature work. The largest additions land on the "team boat networking" path: group_and_attach_ports gains mode and properties support, and a new SwitchPortConfigString type is added for networking validation. The network_interface field is now accepted in both service steps and runbook steps, and public runbooks can be retrieved and used (1010315). Graphical console support learns to detect stopped console containers, and the pci_devices inspection hook is wired up to work under Redfish inspection.

Driver work. redfish-virtual-media is enabled on iDRAC10 (landed twice across branches), IPMI now recognizes manufacturer ID 19046 as Lenovo, and the Dell virtual-media boot path stops querying attribute_resources where it isn't needed.

Stability and security. A security fix for node history event retrieval was fanned out as six identical backports across maintained branches. Error-message language was softened on one commonly hit path, and an RPC setup test was tightened so it no longer leaks a mocked serializer. On the API side, schema types were broadened and the 1.19–1.90 microversion check was corrected.

Tooling. Devstack gained support for importing partition image fixtures, the ironic-standalone-anaconda job became voting, CI job descriptions were polished, and requirements were pinned to 2026.2 for the bugfix/38.0 branch.
