Bare metal server with BMC typically has multiple NICs. User image needs dhcp-all-interfaces element to get IP to NIC other than eth0 through DHCP. Having booted the user image by "nova boot", user cannot login after without dhcp-all-interfaces element. Change-Id: Iac806397e39f489a3ccdc9c087ad120ac79f2144
Ironic
Ironic is an integrated 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.
