The iLO driver, when the conductor takeover logic was triggered would power off the node if it was not in the ACTIVE state, which could potentially be harmful to the hardware. Presently, takeover is only called for active nodes, however in the future, features like ADOPTION will leverage take_over and evolution of redundancy support may drive additional states that the node is in when takeover is called. This changes the behavior and unit tests accordingly such that only nodes in deploying state perform deployment related method calls and thus prevent accdiental actions occuring.

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.
