Dao Cong Tien 080f6566dd Small change of doc title for the drivers
As some drivers such as ilo, irmc, oneview were changed from
term "drivers" to singular. This patch updates the remaining
drivers.

============
iDRAC driver
============
Overview
========
iDRAC_ hardware is supported by the ``idrac`` hardware type. It is also
supported by the standard ``ipmi`` hardware type, though with a smaller
feature set.
.. TODO(dtantsur): supported hardware
Enabling
========
The ``idrac`` hardware type requires 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
.. TODO(dtantsur): describe RAID support and inspection
Known Issues
============
Nodes go into maintenance mode
------------------------------
After some period of time, nodes managed by the ``idrac`` hardware type may go
into maintenance mode in Ironic. This issue can be worked around by changing
the Ironic power state poll interval to 70 seconds. See
``[conductor]sync_power_state_interval`` in ``/etc/ironic/ironic.conf``.
