[Bug 1637671] Re: DRAC get_bios_config() vendor passthru causes AttributeError exception

[George Shuklin]

Hello Ubuntu guys.

It's already more than 4 months since Ironic 6.2.2 has been released.
xenial-updates/newton/main still uses 1:6.2.1-0ubuntu1, and it still has
that bug.

Are you really provide updates for cloud-archive for xenial, or not?

Title:
  DRAC get_bios_config() vendor passthru causes AttributeError exception

Status in Ironic:
  Fix Released
Status in ironic package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Seen in stable/newton.

  The DRAC driver's (pxe_drac) get_bios_config() vendor passthru method
  raises an AttributeError exception. It no longer returns the current
  BIOS configuration. This is a regression from stable/mitaka.

  Triage found that get_bios_config() mistakenly treats the value
  returned by python-dracclient's list_bios_settings() as containing
  named tuples. When it calls the namedtuple _asdict() method, an
  AttributeError exception is raised.

  It shows up in the ironic-conductor.log as:
