ironic-inspector [1] is a project for conducting hardware properties discovery via booting a special ramdisk and interrogating hardware from within it.
This ramdisk collects hardware information from the machine it’s booted on and posts it to the URL provided via kernel argument ‘discoverd_callback_url’.
The hardware information collected by the ramdisk are:
- BMC IP address (may be required for associating with existing node in Ironic)
- CPU count and architecture
- Memory amount in MiB
- Hard drive size in GiB
- IP and mac addresses for all NICs except the loopback
The machine is halted at the end of the process.
