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

Hi Dmitry,<br>
<br>
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.<br>
