This patch brings two somewhat related changes: 1. Older versions of VirtualBMC worked without any server keeping state on the filesystem. The contemporary version is build around client-server model. To preserve backward compatibility, the `vbmc` client would invoke `vbmcd` behind the scenes if the daemon is not running. This change inhibits this automatic `vbmcd` start behaviour because devstack invokes `vbmcd` explicitly through systemd. 2. This patch makes Devstack messing with VirtualBMC only if it is determined that IPMI deployment is required. Otherwise (e.g. Redfish deployment is planned) Devstack will not attempt to start/stop IPMI emulation. Change-Id: Id9a2ed71a997fb13523a77563d6e941904675f97

Team and repository tags
Overview
Ironic consists of an API and plug-ins for managing and provisioning physical machines in a security-aware and fault-tolerant manner. It can be used with nova as a hypervisor driver, or standalone service using bifrost. By default, it will use PXE and IPMI to interact with bare metal machines. Ironic also supports vendor-specific plug-ins which may implement additional functionality.
