Hi Wan,
thanks for great notes. My response is inline:

The "Register Nodes" panel uses "IPMI user" and "IPMI Password".
However, not all Ironic drivers use IPMI, for instance, some Ironic
drivers will use iLO or other BMC interfaces instead of IPMI. I would
like to suggest changing "IPMI" to "BMC" or ""IPMI/BMC" to acomodate
more Ironic drivers. The "Driver" field will reflect what power
management interface (e.g., IPMI + PXE, or iLO + Virtual Media) is used
so it can be used to correlate the user and password fields.
We are already prepared for multiple drivers. If you look at the Driver
field, there is a dropdown menu from which you can choose a driver and
based on the selection the additional information (like IP, user, passw)
will be changed.
Also, myself and a few folks are working on Ironic UEFI support and
we hope to land this feature in Juno (Spec is still in review state but
the feature is on the Ironic Juno Prioritized list). In order to add
UEFI boot feature, a "Supported Boot Modes" field in the hardware info
is needed. The possible values are "BIOS Only", "UEFI Only", and
"BIOS+UEFI". We will need to work with you to add this field onto
hardware info.
There is no problem to accommodate this change in the UI once the
back-end supports it. So if there is a desire to expose the feature in
the UI, when there is already working back-end solution, feel free to
send a patch which adds that to the HW info - it's an easy addition and
the UI is prepared for such types of expansions.
Thanks!
