iLO Node Discovery
Problem description
===================
Today, Ironic does not have the out-of-band node discovery.
It cannot discover the nodes with in a subnet range or for a
specific driver.
Proposal:
=========
This proposal adds the ability to perform out-of-band
node discovery via multicast search for ProLiant nodes.
Multicast search will be faster than broadcast search.
Proposed change
===============
The proposal is to do node discovery via iLO driver.
* ironic driver-
where driver_name=ilo
method = node_discovery()
arg=value pairs can be like:
["manufacturer"
It discovers all ProLiant nodes' iLO IP address that matches the node search
identifiers. A deployer can then use the returned node iLO IP address to
create nodes. This feature can be used with Node property discovery
during node create feature to automate node create.
