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><br>michaël<br><br><br><br><o:p></o:p></p><pre>-- <o:p></o:p></pre><pre>Michaël Van de Borne<o:p></o:p></pre><pre>R&D Engineer, SOA team, CETIC<o:p></o:p></pre><pre>Phone: +32 (0)71 49 07 45 Mobile: +32 (0)472 69 57 16, Skype: mikemowgli<o:p></o:p></pre><pre><a href="http://www.cetic.be">www.cetic.be</a>, rue des Frères Wright, 29/3, B-6041 Charleroi<o:p></o:p></pre><p class=MsoNormal><br><br><br><o:p></o:p></p><pre>_______________________________________________<o:p></o:p></pre><pre>Mailing list: <a href="https://launchpad.net/~openstack">https://launchpad.net/~openstack</a><o:p></o:p></pre><pre>Post to : <a href="mailto:openstack@lists.launchpad.net">openstack@lists.launchpad.net</a><o:p></o:p></pre><pre>Unsubscribe : <a href="https://launchpad.net/~openstack">https://launchpad.net/~openstack</a><o:p></o:p></pre><pre>More help : <a href="https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp">https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp</a><o:p></o:p></pre></div></div></body></html>
