This patch is adding the documentation for the IPMITool driver. This covers some general overview, basic setup (prerequisites, how to enable) as well as some advanced topics such as single/double bridge and protocol version. The IPMITool driver is rich and allows a lot of configuration, therefore not all topics are addressed by this commit. TODOs were left in the documentation (as comments) so we don't forget to address them later. Partial-Bug: #1468710 Change-Id: Ife99de75a42d7048fd1ad31e220b5606a8fe81f0 |

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.
