[ironic] Hardware type / interfaces removal: SNMP, iRMC, iLO
Hey all, We are removing some deprecated drivers in the 2026.2 release. Already posted for removal are the iRMC (Fujitsu) and SNMP driver, which have both been deprecated for removal for a while and are the primary cause of some libraries being version-locked in upper-constraints.txt (sorry Requirements team). I would additionally like to propose we remove the legacy iLO driver as well. Back in 2024.1 release, Ironic added a release note indicating a general plan to deprecate the iLO hardware types with no timeline. In the 2025.2 release, we formally announced the deprecation and added an upgrade check to warn operators using the iLO driver still to migrate off. Now on the horizon of the 2026.2 release, it seems to be time to sunset this driver for good. The proliantutils library it relies on has been unmaintained for a long time and no Ironic community members have access to merge changes on it, and I have a concern that we may be shipping a non-working driver due to this library abandonment. All modern iLO hardware are well-supported by the generic redfish driver. Please scream loudly now if you oppose, or else the iLO driver will be gone this release. Thanks, Jay Faulkner Open Source Developer G-Research OSS
