Hardware provisioning is a dying art. I would love to see a modern-day xCAT[0] clone that's easy to install and configure and with proper multi-platform support. Foreman is half-way there, but AFAIK doesn't do BMC provisioning and discovery, which is a big deal.

- eLobato 11y agoForeman does discovery [1] (PXE, PXE-less, segmented networks, through bootdisk) and handles BMC, I wrote the API in fact :) http://theforeman.org/plugins/foreman_discovery/4.1/index.html http://theforeman.org/plugins/foreman_discovery/4.1/index.ht... Maybe you were not aware because it's a plugin, we kind of have that problem in the Foreman community, plugins are not as visible as they should and they can contain key features.
