This patch is adding support for a new capability called 'disk_label', in the same way users can opt-in the boot mode for the target machine they should also be able to choose the disk label that will be used when formating the hard drive to accommodate their use cases; e.g users operating machines in BIOS mode will be able to overcome the 2TB limitation for partition size that is imposed by the MBR. Closes-Bug: #1548788 Depends-On: I307315b1b32c9bf0babd7e42d4e9bc2030884980 Change-Id: I538029fea9326de9c62fdf965469dae8915551be
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 together to provision and turn on/off machines, but Ironic also supports vendor-specific plugins which may implement additional functionality.
