If there is an existing DB, there were race conditions in loading the
restore. Fix by clearing the existing DB once the viability of the
restore dataset has been established
While we cannot get serial number and model number in a PXE request,
if there is a matching uuid, fill in the data from the match. Also
provide info on the related macs so that info can be correlated in more
complex ways (e.g. which mac is pxe, which mac is BMC, which IP goes
where, etc.)
Some things on update are active immediately, others are pending reboot.
Documentation needs to use this to let users know what they need to do
or not need to do after the firmware update.
Lay groundwork for pulling this sort of data in on discovery. The plan is that *if* serial numbers will
be used as a cue for discovery, it would be in the context of a nodediscover command.
Often times, a pyghmi update carries the substance of
a patch. Instead of a person having to remember to
manually restart, try to trigger an update to restart
confluent automatically.
If a node is deleted, act similar to if it were defined with no console.method, to avoid
superfluous trace output. In the future, it may make sense to filter out nodes with no
console.method earlier, since a fair amount of startup work is done that is ultimately ignored
for situations where console is not enabled.
The data length of a log entry must not exceed 65k. If an attempt is
made to log that much, break it up and duplicate the records. It may make
sense to indicate a continuation explicitly, but for now just extend.
str will tend to present a more normal looking error string. Use
that so that a user does not have the impression there is a code
issue on expected errors.
The bay number can be opportunisticly grabbed, provide
that info in the discovery api. In future, should add 'by-bay'
once we have enclosure data as well.
The data length of a log entry must not exceed 65k. If an attempt is
made to log that much, break it up and duplicate the records. It may make

If an administrator clears the cert fingerprint, they will
likely set it to ''. In such a case, go down the 'no fingerprint'
path rather than reject it.
enclosure.bay is integer rather than string now. Fix the filter
to use format, which is more robust in numeric versus string anyway.
Also, consistently make the underlying data integer rather than
sometimes string.
