There is a wrong command on the iLO Ironic driver tutorial page. The command is in the "Registering Proliant node in Ironic" session (http://docs.openstack.org/developer/ironic/drivers/ilo.html#id31), it is used to create a Ironic node that should use the iLO driver, so there are some parameters to be passed in the command. The problem is the lack of the "-i" argument just before the "ilo_address" and "deploy_ramdisk" parameters. The solution is to add the "-i" argument just before the "ilo_address" and "deploy_ramdisk" keys. By following a tutorial, the reader often copy the commands and small pieces of code that are provided by the tutorial itself, in doing so, when the copied part has a problem the error just delaying and sometimes difficult to understand the process causing a waste of time on debugging the problems that should not exist. This patch solves the problem by adding the "-i" argument on the command in ilo.rst file. Closes-Bug: #1465910 Change-Id: I6cd24b68deacbb9da022a4e34ae607b5c9c950a4
Ironic
Ironic is an integrated OpenStack project which aims to provision bare metal machines instead of virtual machines, forked from the Nova Baremetal driver. It is best thought of as a bare metal hypervisor API and a set of plugins which interact with the bare metal hypervisors. By default, it will use PXE and IPMI in concert to provision and turn on/off machines, but Ironic also supports vendor-specific plugins which may implement additional functionality.
