<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">A few thoughts... Firstly, new features should be geared towards Ironic, not the nova baremetal driver as it will be deprecated soon (<a href="https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/deprecate-baremetal-driver" target="_blank">https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/deprecate-baremetal-driver</a>).
That being said, I actually don't think you want to use IPMI for what you're describing at all, but maybe I'm wrong.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">When scheduling VMs with Nova, in many cases there is already an agent running locally, eg. nova-compute, and this agent is already supplying information to the scheduler. I think this is where the facilities for gathering
power/temperature/etc (eg, via lm-sensors) should be placed, and it can reported back to the scheduler along with other usage statistics.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

Using lm-sensors or equivalent seems better. <br>
Have a look at the following blueprint<br>
