Introspecting a Single Node =========================== In addition to bulk introspetion, you can also introspect nodes one by one. When doing so, you must take care to set the correct node states manually. Use ``ironic node-show UUID`` command to figure out whether nodes are in ``manageable`` or ``available`` state. For all nodes in ``available`` state, start with putting a node to ``manageable`` state:: ironic node-set-provision-state UUID manage Then you can run introspection:: openstack baremetal introspection start UUID This command won't poll for the introspection result, use the following command to check the current introspection state:: openstack baremetal introspection status UUID Repeat it for every node until you see ``True`` in the ``finished`` field. The ``error`` field will contain an error message if introspection failed, or ``None`` if introspection succeeded for this node. Do not forget to make nodes available for deployment afterwards:: ironic node-set-provision-state UUID provide
