 Hi all!

 As our state machine and discovery discussion proceeds, I'd like to ask
 your opinion on whether we need an IntrospectionInterface
 (DiscoveryInterface?). Current proposal [1] suggests adding a method for
 initiating a discovery to the ManagementInterface. IMO it's not 100%
 correct, because:
 1. It's not management. We're not changing anything.
 2. I'm aware that some folks want to use discoverd-based discovery [2]
 even for DRAC and ILO (e.g. for vendor-specific additions that can't be
 implemented OOB).

 Any ideas?

 Dmitry.

Hi,

Thanks for putting it up Dmitry. I think the idea is fine too, I understand
that people may want to use in-band discovery for drivers like iLO or DRAC
and having those on a separated interface allow us to composite a driver to
do it (which is ur use case 2. ).

So, +1.

Hi Dmitry,

I see the value in using the composability of our driver interfaces, so 
I vote for having a separate IntrospectionInterface. Otherwise we 
wouldn't allow users to use eg. the DRAC driver with an in-band but more 
powerful hw discovery.
