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.

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.
