Hi, using several cells for the Ironic deployment would be great however it doesn't work with the current architecture. The nova ironic driver gets all the nodes available in Ironic. This means that if we have several cells all of them will report the same nodes! The other possibility is to have a dedicated Ironic instance per cell, but in this case it will be very hard to manage a large deployment.
That's a problem for more reasons than just your scale. However, doesn't this solve that problem?
