[Users] Booting oVirt CentOS nodes from PXE ?

Hi All, I'm wondering if it's possible to PXE boot nodes so we don't need to install every server on local disks. I have read something in the docs about a Fedora ISO, but how does this work and will it be possible with CentOS ? Thanks! Cheers, Matt

Hi Matt, Are you willing to share some information ? How do you build that CentOS version and so on ? Would be nice to now! Thanks, Matt 2013/6/17 Matt Curry <mcurry@skopos.us>

Hi Matt, As far as the oVirt developers have told me they are still busy building this ISO and will be released soon. How have you done this in the time between ? I think you are installing using PXE rather than booting from it ? Cheers, Matt 2013/6/17 Matt . <yamakasi.014@gmail.com>
