Hardware Operations

This section is for data centre technicians and operators working with an
individual physical machine. Start with the task you need to perform:

• Device Type Management — define and validate the hardware
  models supported by a deployment.
• Flavor Management — map resource classes and hardware traits to
  Nova flavors.
• Ironic — inspect or manually create bare metal nodes
  and ports.
• Ironic Inspection Guide — diagnose
  hardware inspection failures.
• Change Boot Interface — change
  how a node boots for provisioning.
• Baremetal Box Cleanup Runbook — recover
  a node stuck in a failed provisioning state.
• Ironic Console — access a node's serial
  console.
• Server Firmware Updates — update firmware from
  the operator side.
• BMC Password — retrieve the generated password for a
  server's management controller.

Schema definitions for device types, traits, and flavors live under
Reference.
