Hi Donal, hi all,<br>
<br>
I'm trying to test the Boot From ISO feature. So I've set a
XenServer host and installed a Ubuntu 11.10 PV DomU in it.<br>
<br>
Then I used the following commands but, as you can see in the
attached nova-compute log excerpt, there was a problem.<br>
<br>
glance add name=fedora_iso disk_format=iso <
../Fedora-16-x86_64-Live-LXDE.iso<br>
ID: 4<br>
nova boot test_iso --flavor 2 --image 4<br>
<br>
I can see the ISO images using "nova list" but not using "glance
index".<br>
<br>
The error seems to be: 'Cannot find SR of content-type ISO'.
However, I've set a NFS ISO Library using XenCenter, so that there
is an actual ISO content-typed SR. How to tell OpenStack to use this
SR for the ISO images I post using glance?<br>
<br>
Any clue? I feel I'm rather close to make it work.<br>
<br>
<br>
thanks,<br>
<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi all,<br>
<br>
I'm very interested in the "Boot From ISO" feature described
here: <a moz-do-not-send="true"
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 moz-do-not-send="true"
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>
