To recap what Jan and I talked about for a wider audience... An ipmi-listener that translates to other things (openstack, libvirt, or what ever) would be very useful for testing the contracts that Ironic makes with hardware, and also ensuring that our functional tests are actually testing all of the same code paths we use in production (which they're not today, because no one should be using the SSH power driver in production). Once we have such an ipmi-listener, I think we could (and should) remove the SSH power driver from Ironic. -Devananda _______________________________________________ OpenStack-dev mailing list OpenStack-dev@lists.openstack.org http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
