Would net booting a minimal discovery image work? You usually can dump ipmi network information from the host.

The ultimate ipmitool command is going to be exactly the same whether it comes from Cobbler or Ironic, and all we need to do is feed information to the appropriate utility when it comes to power management. If it's the same command, it doesn't matter who does it. Ironic of course is a better option, but I'm not sure where we are with discovering ipmi IP addresses or prompting admins to enter this data for every node. Without this step, neither Cobbler nor Ironic is capable of handling this task.
