hi,
in our environment we 'd like to use kvm to test our pxe installs since
all of our system is installed via pxe, so the kickstart files and all
other part of the installation should have to be checked.
it's currently not possible to use virt-manager to install from a PXE
netboot. in qemu since 0.9 it has a boot option 'n' to boot from
network. it'd useful to add such an option in virt-manager install
settings (just one checkbox:-). is it require a big changes?
thanks in advance.
It is a fairly simple change & one we're planning to make in the near future
libvirt already supports configuring a guest to boot from network so we just
need UI to enable that choice, and a fix to virt-install to allow that as an
install source
Dan.
Just throwing a few more ideas out there -- if you're wanting to deploy
Linux, in either Xen (paravirt), or qemu/kvm ... this is what koan
was written for. (We don't do Xen fullvirt yet since it wants an ISO to
boot.)
See http://cobbler.et.redhat.com
However I do agree that real PXE for virt guests would be quite
useful... (and you could still
use Cobbler to manage that PXE config in that case).
