They do this so they can create fake baremetal instances that are actually VMs that ironic manages. But a similar setup will probably work for your use cases if PXE is what you are starting with.

Hi,

Thanks Clark for your answer.

I've read the script a little bit, and I have to admit I do not
understand what it does... :(

If some Ironic falks can explain, that'd be great!

Cheers,
