Comment 2 for bug 1553083

Jim Rollenhagen:

My idea is to add a new proxy, says ironic-ipmiproxy, into Ironic scope. The proxy stands between nova-serialproxy and the bare metals. I plan to use python lib pyghmi to help the proxy talk to the bare metals. For serving nova-serialproxy, the proxy will start a TCP socket server, with an admin port and each port for each active bare metal.

I also plan to add support for the proxy into the existing console driver (IPMIShellinaboxConsole), so all the vendors that use the console will not need to update their drivers to get the feature work.
