Ironic

More Hardware Control Functions

Registered by Ling Gao

In current Ironic, it already has functions such as power on/off/reboot and set boot device etc. There are more hardware control functions we can explore from bmc that can help managing, understanding and diagnosing nodes. For example:
1. getting hardware event logs from ipmi.
2. getting hardware inventory.
3. getting beacon status or turning beacon on/off/blink for diagnosing.
4. resetting bmc.

A HardwareControlPoint driver interface will be defined. Different hardware vendors can have different implementations for their specific hardware. We'll first implement for the bmc controlled nodes using ipminative (or ipmi).
CLI and REST APIs will also be implemented for these functions.
