What I would like to see in the ! next version is pxe boot of the nodes.
Probably not easy to achieve because of dependency on dhcp.
Hi Joop,
can you please give a bit more information on the use case / how you
envision this?
current thinking around bare metal provisioning of hosts is to extend
the functionality around the foreman provider for this, but you may
have other suggestions?
I think Joop means to be able to add hosts (nodes) to a cluster by
adding their MAC address to the dhcp list for PXE boot into ovirt-node
and thus join the cluster. This would make it easy to add new physical
nodes without any spinning disks or other local storage requirements.
I suppose this may not be easy with complex network connections (bonds
on mgmt network, mgmt network on a tagged vlan, etc), but it should be
possible if the management network interface is plain and physical.

PS, Perhaps Joop can confirm this idea, we've talked about it IRL.
