Ironic devstack currently only supports real hardware being controlled with the *_ipmitool drivers, this patch adds support for the two Cisco Ironic drivers UCS and CIMC. To provide this support it deprecates the old IRONIC_IPMIINFO_FILE replacing it with IRONIC_HWINFO_FILE, which can support extra fields on top of the standard address, mac address, username and password fields.

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.
