Dmitry Tantsur 2672bbfa87 Update idrac hardware type documentation
This change introduces a minimum page for the iDRAC drivers with
dependency installation, configuration and enrolling.

I'll leave it up to the driver team to provide further updates.

=============
iDRAC drivers
=============
Overview
========
iDRAC_ hardware is supported by the ``idrac`` hardware type and the following
classic drivers:
* ``pxe_drac`` (using out-of-band inspection)
* ``pxe_drac_inspector`` (using in-band inspection via **ironic-inspector**)
It is also supported by the standard ``ipmi`` hardware type, though with
a smaller feature set.
.. TODO(dtantsur): supported hardware
Enabling
========
All iDRAC drivers require the ``python-dracclient`` library to be installed,
for example::
sudo pip install 'python-dracclient>=1.3.0'
To enable the ``idrac`` hardware type, add the following to your
``/etc/ironic/ironic.conf``:
.. code-block:: ini
[DEFAULT]
enabled_hardware_types=idrac
enabled_management_interfaces=idrac
enabled_power_interfaces=idrac
To enable all optional features (inspection, RAID and vendor passthru), use
the following configuration:
.. code-block:: ini
[DEFAULT]
enabled_hardware_types=idrac
enabled_inspect_interfaces=idrac
enabled_management_interfaces=idrac
enabled_power_interfaces=idrac
enabled_raid_interfaces=idrac
enabled_vendor_interfaces=idrac
Enrolling
=========
The following command will enroll a bare metal node with the ``idrac``
hardware type::
openstack baremetal node create --driver idrac \
--driver-info drac_address=http://drac.host \
--driver-info drac_username=user \
--driver-info drac_password=pa$$w0rd
