CLOUDSTACK-9299: Out-of-band Management for CloudStackSupport access to a hosts 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, please install `ipmitool` (using yum/apt/brew) and `ipmisim`: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/ipmisim The default ipmitool location is assumed in /usr/bin, if this is different in your env please fix the global setting, see FS for details on various global settings.
