Thinking about this in terms of what is 'really' there...
The power control interface is just an entry of what address to
connect to for controlling the power for a system so it should not be
in there and I don't think we should be taking DHCP information from
there, this seems 'unclean'.
However the DRAC and iLO cards are network interfaces on the systems
from a hardware point of view so either these should be treated as
systems them selfs or as network interfaces of the parent system. Now
this is what I am doing at the moment because I figured in the future
cobbler could host 'images' for upgrading devices like these, switches
or routers lets say. This makes a lot of sense to me and fits in the
current model, what do other people think?
i would class them as part of the main system or as some kind of sub
system - maybe using the system they are attached to as a parent?
you cant really have a drac or iLo without a parent system even though
they do run their own OS etc - Having one main system and these cards as
part of that main system seems like the right way to me but be
interested in what others thought
