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. _______________________________________________ Users mailing list Users(a)ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users
