Both drivers (in case of idrac - its wsman implementation) has been unmaintained for years, same for their underlying libraries ibmcclient [1] and dracclient [2]. Ironic has deprecated them in the 2024.1 cycle. Dell users should use idrac-redfish:// and idrac-virtualmedia:// instead. iBMC users should try using the generic Redfish drivers and report any bugs to the Ironic team and any standard compatibility problems directly to Huawei.

Wouldn't any deprecation notice needed to be in previous release already? |
|
I hoped that my ML thread would serve as a deprecation notice. Given the state of the drivers, I did not want to make the process too long. |
