What I would like to see in the ! next version is pxe boot of the nodes. Probably not easy to achieve because of dependency on dhcp.
Hi Joop,
can you please give a bit more information on the use case / how you envision this?
current thinking around bare metal provisioning of hosts is to extend the functionality around the foreman provider for this, but you may have other suggestions?
I think Joop means to be able to add hosts (nodes) to a cluster by adding their MAC address to the dhcp list for PXE boot into ovirt-node and thus join the cluster. This would make it easy to add new physical nodes without any spinning disks or other local storage requirements. I suppose this may not be easy with complex network connections (bonds on mgmt network, mgmt network on a tagged vlan, etc), but it should be possible if the management network interface is plain and physical. /Simon PS, Perhaps Joop can confirm this idea, we've talked about it IRL.
