Hi all,<br>
<br>
I'm very interested in the "Boot From ISO" feature described here:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://wiki.openstack.org/bootFromISO">http://wiki.openstack.org/bootFromISO</a><br>
<br>
In a few words, it's about the ability to boot a VM from the CDROM
with an ISO image attached. A blank hard disk being attached to
install the OS files in it.<br>
<br>
I've got some questions about this:<br>
1. Is the feature available today using a standard Diablo install?
I've seen the code about this feature is stored under nova/tests and
glance/tests. Does this mean it isn't finished yet and could only be
tested under specific conditions? Which ones?<br>
2. the spec tells about a Windows use case. Why just Windows? What
should I do to test with a Linux distribution?<br>
3. I can see <a
href="http://bazaar.launchpad.net/%7Ehudson-openstack/nova/trunk/revision/1433?start_revid=1433">here</a>
that the Xen hypervisor only has been impacted by the source code
changes. Are KVM and VMWare planned to be supported in the future?
May I help/be helped to develop KVM and VMWare support for this
'Boot From Iso' feature?<br>
<br>
Any help appreaciated<br>
<br>
thank you,<br>
<br>
