As far as I'm aware, an IPMI host:port endpoint will manage exactly one baremetal host
That's correct. The idea is that we would spawn one virtual ipmi instance per host to be controlled.
These days with the rise of Redfish I think IPMI is considered a legacy interface now.
It absolutely is, but it is also still commonly supported.
If there are provisioning tools frequently used by the target audience of Mass Open Cloud which have poor Ironic API support then we'd like to know what those tools are so we can improve that support.
The answer here is "everything", including other instances of Ironic, locally developed tools, things like Foreman, etc. We have a couple of summit sessions coming up tomorrow if you're interested in learning more about what we're about. -- Lars Kellogg-Stedman <lars@redhat.com> | larsks @ {irc,twitter,github} http://blog.oddbit.com/ | N1LKS
