Allow REST to support disk/by-id and "smallest" for image disk. by stoo-davies · Pull Request #5542 · NVIDIA/infra-controller

stoo-davies · 2026-08-28T23:15:34Z

Follow on from PR 5520 and 5260. The disk_imaging.sh script now supports
image_disk=/dev/disk/by-id/xxxxx or image_disk=smallest
In addition to the previous /dev/nvme and /dev/sd names.

Summary by CodeRabbit

New Features
- Added support for selecting the smallest eligible disk when configuring image targets.
- Added support for NVMe, SCSI, and /dev/disk/by-id device paths.
- Operating system image responses now include the configured boot disk.
Documentation
- Clarified supported disk formats, fallback behavior, EFI partition selection, and whole-disk image targets.
Bug Fixes
- Improved disk target validation to recognize supported device path formats and selectors.

Walkthrough

The API now accepts additional whole-disk targets, including smallest and supported device paths. OpenAPI descriptions document disk selection behavior. ImageDisk is mapped to the image attributes protobuf BootDisk, with validation and conversion tests added.

Changes

Disk target and image mapping

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Disk target validation and API contract `rest-api/api/pkg/api/model/util/validation.go`, `rest-api/api/pkg/api/model/operatingsystem_test.go`, `rest-api/openapi/spec.yaml`	`DiskImagePathRegex` accepts `smallest`, NVMe, SCSI, and `/dev/disk/by-id` targets. Tests cover valid long device identifiers and `smallest`. OpenAPI descriptions document selection and fallback behavior.
Image disk protobuf mapping `rest-api/db/pkg/db/model/operatingsystem.go`, `rest-api/db/pkg/db/model/operatingsystem_test.go`	`ToImageAttributesProto` maps `ImageDisk` to `BootDisk`. The conversion test verifies the mapping.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to c39ea

The PR expands accepted image-disk values to include disk-by-id paths and "smallest" selection. Only a minor API-description clarification remains; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains after normal review.

[P2] Keep accepted by-id values parseable

DiskImagePathRegex now accepts any non-space, non-slash by-id suffix, including = and strings such as image_url. disk_imaging.sh still recognizes arguments with unanchored grep image_* checks and extracts values using cut -d'=' -f2, so image_disk=/dev/disk/by-id/foo=bar is truncated to /dev/disk/by-id/foo; a suffix containing image_url can also be mistaken for that separate argument. Please parse exact image_disk=/image_url= prefixes and preserve everything after the first = (for example, with shell prefix removal), or restrict identifiers to what the parser can safely consume.

Describe smallest as selecting the smallest suitable disk.

The descriptions currently say that smallest selects the lowest-capacity disk. This omits the suitability constraint and can mislead clients about which disk may be overwritten. Use smallest suitable disk in all three descriptions.

As per path instructions: “document that smallest selects the smallest suitable disk.”

Also applies to: 20688-20690, 20801-20803
