Jump Host / Bastian Host to replace KVM in Fusion HCI Rack

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

Fusion HCI has pre-requisites for a DNS server / DHCP server to support the build process for a HCI cluster. In addition to which AIR Gap Installations require a local server to provide the repository for the installation content for the cluster. By using the Rack Unit Space that was previously taken up by the KVM switch and replacing it with a custom 1RU server to act as a Jump host / Bastian host we can remove the need for customers to provide this external hardware /simplify the implementation process for the HCI cluster - this could also remove the need for the RU7VM virtual machine, by moving all those roles to the jump host.

    The 9155-B01 service node is supported beginning with Fusion HCI 2.9 and later builds. Note that the service node cannot be added to Fusion HCI racks built before 2.9
