Documentation for irmc hardware type
Added documentation for irmc hardware type. Also added some anchors into enabling-drivers.rst due to the current doc needs to refer to some parts of that one. Change-Id: Ie5bb4bb06120a8dd42eb900c8c3a18e7e97ee6f0 Closes-Bug: #1659209

The iRMC driver enables control FUJITSU PRIMERGY via ServerView
|
||||
Common Command Interface (SCCI).
|
||||
|
||||
There are 3 iRMC drivers:
|
||||
Support for FUJITSU PRIMERGY servers consists of the ``irmc`` hardware
|
||||
type, along with three classic drivers that were instituted before the
|

implementation of the functionality enabling the hardware type.
|

|

* ``pxe_irmc``.
|

The classic drivers are:
|

* ``iscsi_irmc``

* ``agent_irmc``

|
||||
Hardware Type
|
||||
=============
|
||||
|
||||
The ``irmc`` hardware type is introduced to support the new Ironic driver
|
||||
model. It is recommended to use ``irmc`` hardware type for FUJITSU PRIMERGY
|
||||
hardware instead of the classic drivers.
|
||||
|
||||
For how to enable ``irmc`` hardware type, see :ref:`enable-hardware-types`.
|
||||
|
||||
Hardware interfaces
|
||||
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||||
|
||||
The ``irmc`` hardware type overrides the selection of the following
|
||||
hardware interfaces:
|
||||
|
||||
* boot
|
||||
Supports ``irmc-virtual-media``, ``irmc-pxe``, and ``pxe``.
|
||||
The default is ``irmc-virtual-media``.
|
||||
|
||||
.. warning::
|
||||
We deprecated the ``pxe`` boot interface when used with ``irmc``
|
||||
hardware type. Support for this interface will be removed in the
|
||||
future. Instead, use ``irmc-pxe``. ``irmc-pxe`` boot interface
|
||||
was introduced in Pike and is used in the ``pxe_irmc`` classic
|
||||
driver.
|
||||
|
||||
* console
|
||||
Supports ``ipmitool-socat``, ``ipmitool-shellinabox``, and ``no-console``.
|
||||
The default is ``ipmitool-socat``.
|
||||
|
||||
* inspect
|
||||
Supports ``irmc``, ``inspector``, and ``no-inspect``.
|
||||
The default is ``irmc``.
|
||||
|
||||
.. note::
|
||||
`Ironic Inspector <https://docs.openstack.org/ironic-inspector/latest/>`_
|
||||
needs to be present and configured to use ``inspector`` as the
|
||||
inspect interface.
|
||||
|
||||
* management
|
||||
Supports only ``irmc``.
|
||||
|
||||
* power
|
||||
Supports only ``irmc``.
|
||||
|
||||
For other hardware interfaces, ``irmc`` hardware type supports the
|
||||
Bare Metal reference interfaces. For more details about the hardware
|
||||
interfaces and how to enable the desired ones, see
|
||||
:ref:`enable-hardware-interfaces`.
|
||||
|
||||
Here is a complete configuration example with most of the supported hardware
|
||||
interfaces enabled for ``irmc`` hardware type.

Upgrading to ``irmc`` hardware type
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
When upgrading from a classic driver to the ``irmc`` hardware type,
|
||||
make sure you specify the hardware interfaces that are used by the
|
||||
classic driver. :doc:`/admin/upgrade-to-hardware-types` has more
|
||||
information, including the hardware interfaces corresponding to
|
||||
the classic drivers.
