<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div><div><div><div>Hi<br></div>Recently i've been helping some customers in the boot from ISCSI feature. So far everything was working, but we had a problem when booting the deployment image.<br></div>It needed specifically a flag rd.iscsi.ibft=1 rd.iscsi.firmware=1 in the grub commands. But as the generated deployment image doesn't contain these flags, ISCSI was not booting properly. For other hardware setups, different flags may be needed.<br></div>The solution was to manually execute a virt-customize on the deployment image to hardcode these parameters.<br></div>I wonder if we can add some feature in Ironic to support it. We have discussed about kernel parameters several times. But at this time, it affects ISCSI booting. Not having a way in Ironic to customize these parameters forces to manual workarounds.<br></div>So can we reconsider the proposal to add kernel parameters there? It could be a settable argument (driver_info/kernel_args), and then the IPA could set the parameters properly on the image. Or any other option is welcome.<br></div>What are your thoughts there?<br></div><div><br></div><div>Thanks<br></div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><br>-- <br><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><p style="font-weight:bold;margin:0px;padding:0px;font-size:14px;text-transform:uppercase"><span>Yolanda</span> <span>Robla Mota</span></p>
