Re: [Users] How to pxeboot ovrit node into memory automatically?
Hi Fabian,
That kernel option worked for me! The node is booted up in RAM. Thanks!
My next question is:
How do I specify the root login and passwd as boot parameters?

is to use pxeboot (iPXE) to boot the node entirely into RAM with rootfs. What I
got now is an installation screen which requires a local storage. My system has
no disk and this doesn't quite work for me.

Hey David,
the stateless mode is currently not completely working with oVirt
Engine. That means a Node needs to be approved each time it boots into
the stateless mode.
The stateless mode can be entered by appending stateless to the default
kernel arguments.
