From abe1db6f88a6fb58586d4ed8d272cf7acb57b588 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mikyung Kang Date: Sat, 10 Nov 2012 08:07:13 +0900 Subject: PXE bare-metal provisioning helper server a part of blueprint general-bare-metal-provisioning-framework. Implement nova-baremetal-deploy-helper. This service listens for HTTP requests from baremetal deploy ramdisk, formats the remote disk and writes an image to it, as part of baremetal PXE provisioning. blueprint improve-baremetal-pxe-deploy shows how we plan to improve this process.
