``iscsi_ilo`` supports both netboot and localboot, while ``agent_ilo`` supports
only localboot. Refer to `Netboot in standalone ironic`_ and
`Localboot in standalone ironic`_ for details of deploy process
for netboot and localboot respectively. For ``pxe_ilo``, the deploy process
is same as native ``pxe_ipmitool`` driver.
