Hi Daniel,
For now (IceHouse), it's not possible to boot from iso and attach volume
after boot. Libvirt present ISO disk via an IDE controller (/dev/hda)
and new volume try to be added as IDE too (/dev/hdb).
Do you mean that with the new block device mapping code, we will be able
to boot from

Hi Daniel,
Thanks for the feedback. I have two questions:
1. Is it available in Havana?
2. Is it possible to to say that the glance image should be fetched to a

Hi guys,
In the Hyper-V driver camp we waited to add the boot from ISO feature because
of this issue.
Booting from ISO w/o local storage is almost useless for most scenarios.
It'd be great if we could reach consensus on this and propose some consistent
BPs for all supported drivers in early
Vish,
Exactly. Snapshots is the main reason why I started to modify Nova.
There's a high probability that we will contribute our work to Nova nearest
time. Meanwhile I'm ready to participate in all the discussions.

Hi Vish!
Appreciate your feedback! Are there some significant pitfalls that forced
Nova team to decide that?
Currently I'm testing my local nova modifications to get real boot from ISO
functionality like described in the spec. I'm fetching ISO image from
glance into the separate file under the
