Add 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. The default is ``True``, so this will not change the current behaviour which is to have ipmitool do the retries when timing is supported. Setting to ``False`` will help with certain BMCs which do not support the Cipher Suites command. In this case ipmitool can take up to 10 seconds for each retry which results in a total time exceeding ``[ipmi]command_retry_timeout``.

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.
