Current drivers only allow for control of UCS servers via either IPMI or UCSM, the Cisco UCS C-Series operating in standalone mode can also be controlled via CIMC using its http/s XML API. This provides finer control over the server than IPMI can, and doesn't require the extra infrastructure that UCSM needs.

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.
