Bug Description

Despite being our reference drivers the pxe_ipmitool and agent_ipmitool drivers are not tested in gate, currently Ironic uses a "ssh" power interface for power controlling and managing virtual machines that are deployed as part of the tests in gate.

That's not required anymore, we could use a virtual BMC [0] which is basically a wrap around the pyghmi BMC and libvirt python binds for translating IPMI commands to hypervisor commands.

This RFE is proposing using this technology by adapting the DevStack scripts to create and test nodes loaded with the {pxe, agent}_ipmitool drivers in gate.

    DevStack: Add support for deploying nodes with pxe_ipmitool

    This patch is adding support for deploying nodes with the pxe_ipmitool
    driver and VMs.

    The patch adds a dependency on the "virtualbmc" utility which is
    responsible for creating a virtual/fake BMC that handles the IPMI
    commands (using pyghmi.bmc) and convert it to calls to the
    python-libvirt library.

    The function "is_ironic_hardware" was converted into a variable called
    "IRONIC_IS_HARDWARE" which can be set to True/False to indicate whether
    DevStack is being setup for baremetal or VMs.
