Hey Hui, Arkady is on a well-deserved vacation for a couple weeks.
Crowbar is designed to have bare metal servers PXE boot directly from it. It really doesn't support deploying to non-bare metal servers at this point in time. That said, if you're feeling ambitious, it may be possible to make this happen. I would discover and allocate a node using the supported PXE method. Once you have this system up, the breadcrumb trail starts at /etc/init.d/crowbar_join.sh. You could try copying this file to your non-bare metal server into the same location and running /etc/init.d/crowbar_join.sh start as root. At that point you would have to start resolving issues that pop up due to missing dependencies. If you eventually get it working, you of course would need to set up the appropriate sym links to crowbar_join.sh in /etc/rc*.d. I honestly have no idea how difficult it will be to resolve all of the dependencies or even if it will work when you do, but it may be worth a try. Just as a note, RHEL support is being added to Crowbar 1.7, but is not in yet. Crowbar 1.7 is currently under active development, so will be less stable than our last shipped release. Good luck!

I installed CentOS 6.4 and chef-client on a new node manually(not via PXE and crowbar), then I can see the node and clinet on the Chef UI after modified the configuration of chef-client on the node, but crowbar webUI couldn't show and manage the new node. I tried to use the chef UI to deploy apps on the new node , it can work successfully. since i need to deploy openstack via crowbar, would you please shed some light on this issue? Thanks in advance.

After i get a pre-built Crowbar ISO from http://sourceforge.net/projects/crowbar/files/openstack/ , i find this ISO deploys Openstack on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, but i would like to deploy Openstack Grizzly on CentOS 6.4. Does crowbar support this? Is there a way to deploy Openstack Grizzly + CentOS via crowbar? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Best Regards, Hui Wu
