Hi Douglas, Thanks for the link. However I can't quite tell if this is pxeboot installation or a truly stateless pxeboot that you not only suck in the configurations from the server but also NFS mount the final RHEV-H root fs from the same server. Mike has mentioned oVirt Node 2.3 can only do the install but not the stateless boot. I wonder if this is the same case with RHEV-H. David

Since oVirt node doesn’t support pxeboot in the current release, does anyone know if I can use RHEV-H to pxeboot and nfs mout the rootfs? Where does it say that ovirt-node doesn't support pxe boot? I use PXE in my testing. I haven't heard of any issues with PXE either.
The livecd-iso-to-pxeboot script in livecd-tools will create the initrd and vmlinuz files for you to import into your PXE server.
