Hi Folks,

Could someone please share his experience with Nova "Boot from ISO" feature
[1].

We test it on Havana + KVM, uploaded the image with DISK_FORMAT set to
'iso'. Windows deployment does not happen. The VM has two volumes: one is
config-2 (CDFS, ~400Kb, don't know what that is); and the second one is
our flavor volume (80Gb). The windows ISO contents (about 500Mb) for some
reason are inside a flavor volume instead of separate CD drive.

So far I found only two patches for nova: vmware [2] and Xen [3].
Does it work with KVM? Maybe some specific nova configuration required for
KVM.
