Dmitry Tantsur 2f8e105b4b Recommend using dhcp-sequential-ip in the dnsmasq configuration 
Introspection naturally happens in large bulks, after which it's inactive.
Small pool for DHCP addresses means that we'll have conflicts due to how
dnsmasq distributes them by default - using hashing. This option tells dnsmasq
to allocate IP addresses sequentially instead to avoid these conflicts.
See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1301659 for detailed analysis.

The drawback of this option is that long-running clients may switch IP
addresses if their lease expires. This is not a concern for short introspection
process.

This change may obsolete the need in the delay between 2 introspections.

Hardware introspection for OpenStack Bare Metal

This is an auxiliary service for discovering hardware properties for a node managed by Ironic. Hardware introspection or hardware properties discovery is a process of getting hardware parameters required for scheduling from a bare metal node, given it's power management credentials (e.g. IPMI address, user name and password).

Note

ironic-inspector was called ironic-discoverd before version 2.0.0.

For information on any current or prior version, see the release notes.
