Description Perry Myers 2011-11-11 20:46:44 UTC 
Description of problem:
Original oVirt Node when used with the older oVirt Server (written as a Ruby on Rails mgmt application) would grab configuration information dynamically on boot, meaning that we never needed to 'install oVirt Node to a hard disk'

We'd like to bring this stateless mode of operation back to oVirt Node when used in conjunction with vdsm and oVirt Engine.

This will involve having a 'Config Server' that can be accessed by each Node's management interface.  Details on this feature will be posted on the wiki and a link posted in this bz.

Comment 2 Doron Fediuck 2014-03-10 15:56:03 UTC 
Some support already in place (using stateless as kernel parameter).
Should be working once bug 875088 is resolved.

Closing old bugs. If this issue is still relevant/important in current version, please re-open the bug.
