It is my understanding that memory is of not bit deal if it skews up by few 
numbers. So I would recommend going to 65535 and disk should always be in GiB. 
The pxe_root_gb refers to the size of the root partition where the OS will 
reside.

Subject: [Openstack] [Ironic] Questions about ironic deployment

Hello all,

I've been working at getting an ironic setup going (following the installation 
guide http://docs.openstack.org/developer/ironic/deploy/install-guide.html).

I'm up to the node creation step and have some questions

1) In regards to the baremetal flavor, how closely do the extra-specs need to 
match the physical node?
         a) The node I'm working with has a strange amount of memory,
65952964 KiB which does not evenly map to the MiB units requested by ironic 
(65952964 KiB / 1024 = 64407.1914063 MiB). What kind of rounding should I do?
         b) Should the 'local_gb' property of the node be the size (in
GiB) of the partition where the os will be installed or should it be the sum of 
the partitions?

2) Does pxe_root_gb refer to the size of the partition where the OS will be 
installed or is it something else?

I appreciate any insight, thanks for the help!

-Mike
