The iBoot power driver enables you to take advantage of power cycle management of nodes using Dataprobe iBoot devices over the DxP protocol.
The pxe_iboot driver uses iBoot to control the power state of the node, PXE/iPXE technology for booting and the iSCSI methodology for deploying the node.
Add pxe_iboot to the list of enabled_drivers in /etc/ironic/ironic.conf. For example:
[DEFAULT]
...
enabled_drivers = pxe_ipmitool,pxe_iboot
Restart the Ironic conductor service:
service ironic-conductor restart
Nodes configured for the iBoot driver should have the driver property set to pxe_iboot.
The following configuration values are also required in driver_info:
In addition, there are optional properties in driver_info:
The following sequence of commands can be used to enroll a node with the iBoot driver.
Create node:
ironic node-create -d pxe_iboot -i iboot_username=<username> -i iboot_password=<password> -i iboot_address=<address>
