The bootloader default for ipxe, previously set to ipxe.efi was, while consistent with the interface naming, a likely setting that had to be overridden by most deployments, as very little hardware can make use of ipxe.efi for network booting, where as snponly.efi is realistically what should be used in nearly all cases with the exception of some extremely early UEFI supporting hardware, which may happen to work with ipxe.efi *if* support for the network card happens to be compiled in. Note: This was likely never observable in CI as CI leverages firmware with integrated iPXE binaries. Change-Id: I808cf92c98339aa447b4799900066c310e15fd5b

Team and repository tags
Overview
Ironic consists of an API and plug-ins for managing and provisioning physical machines in a security-aware and fault-tolerant manner. It can be used with nova as a hypervisor driver, or standalone service using bifrost. By default, it will use PXE and IPMI to interact with bare metal machines. Ironic also supports vendor-specific plug-ins which may implement additional functionality.
