Enable cleaning in undercloud Ironic
The cleaning process in Ironic ensures that the node is in a sane state before it can become available for next deployments. It runs before the nodes becomes "available" for the first time, and then after every tear down. As it might be time consuming, we've had it disabled in TripleO for quite some time.
However, this has at least one very nasty consequence: without cleaning partitioning on all disks, deployment can end up randomly reusing partitions from previous deployments. E.g. I've encountered a bug when a deployment ended up with two config drive partitions. I'm not sure if we should get back to upstream defaults and enable cleaning, but we at least need it well supported and documented.
Rough actions items:
1. Ensure enrolling workflows are ready for manageable-
2. Configure cleaning network to "ctlplane" (requires https:/
3. Configure Ironic to run only metadata cleaning by default (set ironic:
4. Modify one of the CI jobs to run with cleaning.
5. Optional: enable cleaning by default (set clean_nodes to True by default in undercloud.conf)
