features:
- |
Adds a new ``[ipmi]use_ipmitool_retries`` option. When set to
``True`` and timing is supported by ipmitool, the number of
retries and command interval will be passed to ipmitool so
that ipmitool will do the retries. When set to ``False``,
ironic will do the retries. Default is ``True``.
issues:
- |
Some BMCs do not support the ``Channel Cipher Suites`` command
that newer versions of ipmitool use. These versions of
ipmitool will resend this command for each ipmitool retry,
resulting in long response times. Setting
``[ipmi]use_ipmitool_retries`` to ``false`` will avoid this
situation by implementing retries on the ironic level.
