Warning

This element is deprecated. Please use the ironic-agent element instead.

ironic-inspector [1] is a project for conducting hardware properties discovery via booting a special ramdisk and interrogating hardware from within it.

This ramdisk collects hardware information from the machine it's booted on and posts it to the URL provided via kernel argument 'discoverd_callback_url'.

The hardware information collected by the ramdisk are:

  • BMC IP address (may be required for associating with existing node in Ironic)
  • CPU count and architecture
  • Memory amount in MiB
  • Hard drive size in GiB
  • IP and mac addresses for all NICs except the loopback

The machine is halted at the end of the process.
