Description Lucy Bopf 2018-07-25 04:37:26 UTC 
From the dev BZ:

"The new boot_hostdev hook allows virtual machines to boot from passed through host devices such as NIC VF's, PCI-E SAS/RAID Cards, SCSI devices for example without requiring a normal bootable disk from a Red Hat Virtualization storage domain or direct LUN."

The new hook and its usage must be documented.
Comment 1 Lucy Bopf 2018-07-25 04:39:00 UTC 
The new hook is documented in a README here:

Comment 2 Lucy Bopf 2018-07-25 04:47:12 UTC 
Accepting as a late entry to the 4.2.5 program, and assigning to Tahlia for review.

Tahlia, please work this one for 4.2.5 as your other commitments allow.

Hi Michal, 

From https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1511234#c5 it looks like we don't want to officially support this hook in RHV, and only a KCS is required. Can you confirm that this is still the case?
Comment 4 Michal Skrivanek 2018-07-26 06:47:36 UTC 
correct, KCS is enough
Comment 5 Tahlia Richardson 2018-07-30 06:27:18 UTC 
Thanks, Michal. Closing this bug.
