By default, starting with Ocata, an operator needs to run a nova-manage command after each node is enrolled to make sure it's correctly mapped to a cell. This is not something we can ask in all cases (especially if Ironic UI is used), so let us document running a periodic task for it instead.

Ironic
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.
