If you wish to include an extra element into the IPA disk image, such as a
custom hardware manager, you can pass the variable ``ipa_extra_dib_elements``
as a space-separated list of elements. This defaults to an empty string.
Driver Support
==============
Testing Mode
------------
When setup in testing mode, bifrost configures ironic to utilize the
``agent_ssh`` driver to help facilitate the deployment of local test
machines.
Default Mode
------------
When not in testing mode, bifrost enables the following ironic drivers:
* agent_ipmitool
* pxe_amt
* agent_ilo
* agent_ucs
OneView Driver Support
----------------------
As the OneView driver requires configuration information to be populated
in the ironic.conf configuration file that points to the OneView manager
node as well as credentials, bifrost does not support installation and
configuration of the driver.
Please reference the ironic OneView driver documentation at if you wish
to update the configuration after installation in order to leverage bifrost
for mass node deployment.
The OneView documentation can be found
`here <http://docs.openstack.org/developer/ironic/drivers/oneview.html>`_.

- The README.rst file was updated to include a list
of the drivers enabled by default, as well as what
driver is available in testing mode.
- A pointer was added to the README.rst file for users
possibly wishing to utilize the OneView driver for mass
machine deployment via bifrost, since the driver cannot
be enabled by default.
