Ironic chassis discovery
The chassis component in Ironic is right now a logical grouping of nodes. Hardware
belonging to the category of micro-servers such HP Moonshot have an active chassis
interface to query for internal details such as number of nodes, their properties
and ports information.
This facility can be made use to bring in chassis discovery option in Ironic and
automatically enroll nodes and corresponding ports in Ironic database.
Ironic chassis-create command can have discovery driver and power-manager driver
as positional parameters. Specifying them during a chassis creation will trigger
auto-discovery of chassis hardware details.
ironic chassis-create --description xxxx --power_
--discovery_driver xxxx --extra username=xxxx --extra password=xxxx
--extra host=xxxx
Username, password and host details specified as extra parameters enable the
discovery driver to connect the chassis.

Looks like we decided that tools like this should be out-of-tree, for now.
