Hi Matt!
I've looked into this a bit now, too, and don't have a conclusive answer as
to how (or even whether) it's working today.
Instead, I'd like to point out that Ironic is aiming to deprecate
nova.virt.baremetal and nova.scheduler.baremetal_host_manager, in favor of
nova.virt.ironic and nova.scheduler.ironic_host_manager, both of which
currently live in Ironic's git tree. These were initially based on the
baremetal code that you're looking at, and so probably inherited this
problem (if it is a problem). Let's fix it in Ironic.
Thanks!
