Subject: [PATCH] Add a note message for reboot
Currently nova reboot only performs a hard-reboot to
baremetal nodes as ironic doesn't support the soft-reboot
yet. And as absence of this information, end user has to try
to excute this command firstly and then probably realize
the difference between the baremetal nodes and ordinary
VM instance about this command:
* For VM instance
nova reboot : perform a soft reboot by default.
nova reboot --hard: perform a hard reboot.
* For baremetal node
nova reboot : perform a hard reboot by default.
nova reboot --hard: perform a hard reboot as well.
For more user-friendly, we'd better add some notes into
the help message explicitly.
