Yes, I meant two separate items - the VFD plus the ISO, just as is done
with RHEV today. Somehow that never got pushed to the Community. Rather
than duplicate work, somebody might want to simply push that code
upstream, assuming that's not a problem with RedHat.
Also note that since the Quick Start Guide is written to assume these
items are pre-populated, that should be considered a bug today. Either
the QSG should be updated to remove this note until the functionality is
actually present, or we can simply add the func to match the doc (which
would be less work in the long run) :)
As requested, I have opened a (separate) bug/rfe to track this:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1028489
I am not sure they need to be separate bugs, but I started it this way
and somebody can lump this in and close this as a dup if they like.
