Ilo drivers sets capabilities:boot_mode in node properties if there is none. For a node capable of booting in both bios and uefi, setting of this property by driver prevents it from getting selected for future deploys requests for other boot mode. It would be selected only for deploy requests where flavor extra_specs specifies capabilities:boot_mode with a value matching with one set by driver in the node properties.

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.
