Further work will be done to allow scheduling for both +virtualized and baremetal deployments. Most probably at that time discoverd +will be replaced by ironic-inspector. + +Post-deployment configuration +----------------------------- +Configuration based off upstream documentation_. + +Again, remember that enabling Ironic reconfigures nova compute (driver and +scheduler) as well as changes neutron network settings.
