Jessica Tomechak commented on CLOUDSTACK-1478:
----------------------------------------------
I have some text written for this. However, now I notice that bare metal hosts
are not otherwise documented at all. Is it right to add this without any other
mention of bare metal in the docs? Is this, alone, enough to get someone
started with bare metal hosts?
CloudStack supports the kickstart installation method for RPM-based Linux
operating systems on baremetal hosts in basic zones. Users can provision a
baremetal host managed by CloudStack as long as they have the kickstart file
and corresponding OS installation ISO ready.
Supported Features of Kickstart Baremetal Install
Security groups, as long as the baremetal security group agent is installed by
the kickstart file.
Userdata
Binding IP address allocated to VM to host when adding host. Then VM starting
on that host will be assigned to fixed IP.
Limitations of Kickstart Baremetal Install
When this feature is used, the following are not supported:
Use in advanced zones
CloudStack storage concepts: primary storage, secondary storage, volume,
snapshot
System VMs: SSVM, CPVM, VR
Template copy or template download
VM migration
Multiple NICs
Using host tag for allocating host, capacity (cpu, memory) specifying in
service offering
A stopped VM (the OS running on host) can only start on the host it was most
recently on
