This is an auxiliary service for discovering hardware properties for a
node managed by Ironic
_. Hardware introspection or hardware
properties discovery is a process of getting hardware parameters required for
scheduling from a bare metal node, given its power management credentials
(e.g. IPMI address, user name and password).
