Note that we only support BFV in the form of booting from a cinder volume officially. We haven't looked into iBFV in depth.<span class=""><br></span></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I have been testing that on the context of booting from SAN. It is at deploy time, in the context of TripleO, in the undercloud. At that point no cinder is there. We have been deploying with some ISCSI targets, and ironic consuming those instead of booting from local hard disk. I guess it is a different context. <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><span class="">

This has been discussed several times, and every time the idea of making it a generic feature was rejected. There is an option to configure kernel parameters for PXE boot. However, apparently, you cannot add rd.iscsi.firmware=1 if you don't use iSCSI, it will fail to boot (Derek told me that, I did not check). If your deployment only uses iSCSI - you can modify [pxe]pxe_append_params in your ironic.conf to include it.<span class=""><br></span></blockquote><div><br></div><div>No PXE boot possible. As it is in the context of TripleO, we use the boot_option=local. I know that it is possible to customize with pxe boot, but we cannot rely on it, but have the kernel parameter on local boot. <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><span class="">

Well, we could probably do that *for IPA only*. Something like driver_info/deploy_image_appen<wbr>d_params. This is less controversial than doing that for user instances, as we fully control the IPA boot. If you want to work on it, let's start with a detailed RFE please.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>IPA boot works fine. Some time ago I added some patches on the ironic-agent element, to force the modprobe of several modules (including ibft, fcoe, etc...) That is because IPA image is not based on dracut, so it doesn't rely on parsing the cmdline from kernel boot and dracut hooks. The problem with kernel parameters is only happening now on the deployment image, and so far, the only working solution i could find, is execute a virt-customize on the image to add those.<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
