Physical hardware often has console interception hardware for OOB monitoring/management. Prevent the kernel from switching to a graphical console mode so the hardware can do its job. Related-Bug: #1178112 Change-Id: If6d36461f3bd4cc3e32877b6810035b5c5ac69f3
Ironic
Ironic is an Incubated 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 in concert to provision and turn on/off machines, but Ironic also supports vendor-specific plugins which may implement additional functionality.
