Open Stack

Just brainstorming....

Would it be possible to set up a couple of VMs as iscsi LIO gateways by hand while this feature is being developed and using that end point to boot an Ironic node? You may also be on a late enough version of Ceph to do it using http://docs.ceph.com/docs/mimic/rbd/iscsi-overview/.

Not self-service but could work for a few cases..

Subject: Re: topic: ironic boot from cinder volume(the cinder volume backend is ceph storage)

    This is going to require being able to export Ceph volumes via iSCSI.  
    The Ironic team communicated the importance of this feature to the 
    Cinder team a few months ago.
    
    We are working on getting this support in place soon but it probably 
    will not be until the U release.
    
    Thanks!
