Are there links related to any upstream work be added to the BZ?

Thanks

I'm sorry I may have confused BZ's here... This work is about the be2iscsi driver? Not boot from volume, right ?

If so, why we need two BZs for it?

Hi Dmitry,

Could you please add 'Doc Text' describing this change, so that it can be included with the release notes?

Thank you!

Ramon, could you please do it? I think you have more actual experience with $subj.

Hi Charelle, the purpose of this RFE is to support booting a node from a SAN. Currently, we have a note saying it's not supported [1]:

"Booting an overcloud node from the SAN (FC-AL, FCoE, iSCSI) is not yet supported"

We intend to support boot from SAN over FC and over iSCSI, with iSCSI being a lower priority test, i.e. if QA proves there are limitations with iSCSI that require patches in the code then we'll plan it for a later release.

[1] https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_openstack_platform/11/html-single/director_installation_and_usage/#sect-Overcloud_Requirements

As for the the doc text, it would be something like "Support for booting Overcloud nodes from SAN over Fibre Channel". And if iSCSI passes the QA then we'll add iSCSI.

Yolanda worked on the iSCSI part and documented the process here: http://teknoarticles.blogspot.com.es/2017/10/customize-openstack-images-for-booting.html
