This commit introduces a new deploy driver which uses iLO virtual media to boot up proliant baremetal nodes, and uses agent to deploy the baremetal nodes. This patch also changes agent pxe config template slightly, so that the names of agent ramdisk parameters generated in code and those expected by agent ramdisk are same. Change-Id: Ia5677dff294bc146b864bed180fbda939cf9bb38 Implements: blueprint ilo-virtualmedia-ipa
Ironic
Ironic is an Incubated 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.
