Dmitry Tantsur 2672bbfa87 Update idrac hardware type documentation 
This change introduces a minimum page for the iDRAC drivers with
dependency installation, configuration and enrolling.

I'll leave it up to the driver team to provide further updates.

iDRAC drivers

Overview

iDRAC hardware is supported by the idrac hardware type and the following classic drivers:

  • pxe_drac (using out-of-band inspection)
  • pxe_drac_inspector (using in-band inspection via ironic-inspector)

It is also supported by the standard ipmi hardware type, though with a smaller feature set.

Enabling

All iDRAC drivers require the python-dracclient library to be installed, for example:

sudo pip install 'python-dracclient>=1.3.0'

To enable the idrac hardware type, add the following to your /etc/ironic/ironic.conf:

[DEFAULT]
enabled_hardware_types=idrac
enabled_management_interfaces=idrac
enabled_power_interfaces=idrac

To enable all optional features (inspection, RAID and vendor passthru), use the following configuration:

[DEFAULT]
enabled_hardware_types=idrac
enabled_inspect_interfaces=idrac
enabled_management_interfaces=idrac
enabled_power_interfaces=idrac
enabled_raid_interfaces=idrac
enabled_vendor_interfaces=idrac

Enrolling

The following command will enroll a bare metal node with the idrac hardware type:

openstack baremetal node create --driver idrac \
    --driver-info drac_address=http://drac.host \
    --driver-info drac_username=user \
    --driver-info drac_password=pa$$w0rd
