From: Paulo Vital <pvital@linux.vnet.ibm.com> This patchset adds support in backend to create templates and guests to netboot without setting a cdrom path or URL as image to install. Once created a guest to boot via network, the guest will request DHCP/TFTP/(NFS/HTTP/FTP) network installation servers to download the configured images and start the install. To test, use the curl commands: curl -k -u test -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H \ "Accept: application/json" 'https://localhost:8001/plugins/kimchi/templates' \ -X POST -d '{"name": "test-netboot"}' Enter host password for user 'test': { "cpu_info":{ "maxvcpus":1, "vcpus":1 }, "graphics":{ "type":"vnc", "listen":"127.0.0.1" }, "cdrom":"netboot", "networks":[ "default" ], "icon":"plugins/kimchi/images/icon-vm.png", "os_distro":"unknown", "name":"test-netboot", "disks":[ { "index":0, "format":"qcow2", "pool":{ "type":"dir", "name":"/plugins/kimchi/storagepools/default" }, "size":10 } ], "invalid":{}, "os_version":"unknown", "memory":1024, "folder":[] } curl -k -u test -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H \ "Accept: application/json" 'https://localhost:8001/plugins/kimchi/vms' -X POST \ -d '{"name":"1netboot-test","template":"/plugins/kimchi/templates/test-netboot"}' Enter host password for user 'test': { "status":"running", "message":"OK", "id":"1", "target_uri":"/plugins/kimchi/vms/1netboot-test" } Paulo Vital (3): Add support to create templates without ISO image.
