Ironic

Import the necessary tools for disk image manipulation

Registered by aeva black on 2013-05-28

The nova baremetal PXE driver relied on nova.virt.disk.api:inject_data and nova.virt.libvirt.utils.fetch_image to download and manipulate machine images. Ironic will need these same utilities. Find suitable tools within Olso, or copy / refactor the tools from Nova so that Ironic's PXE driver can do the same things.
