Support access to a host’s out-of-band management interface (e.g. IPMI, iLO, DRAC, etc.) to manage host power operations (on/off etc.) and querying current power state in CloudStack. Given the wide range of out-of-band management interfaces such as iLO and iDRA, the service implementation allows for development of separate drivers as plugins. This feature comes with a ipmitool based driver that uses the ipmitool (http://linux.die.net/man/1/ipmitool) to communicate with any out-of-band management interface that support IPMI 2.0. This feature allows following common use-cases: - Restarting stalled/failed hosts - Powering off under-utilised hosts - Powering on hosts for provisioning or to increase capacity - Allowing system administrators to see the current power state of the host For testing this feature `ipmisim` can be used: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/ipmisim FS: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CLOUDSTACK/Out-of-band+Management+for+CloudStack Signed-off-by: Rohit Yadav <rohit.yadav@shapeblue.com>
