Hi- Thanks a lot for the reply... This helped me understand a bit more.
I have this kind of setup in mind. [ ESSEX-1] <---------------> [ ESSEX-2 ] <---------------> [<--- TILERA HW--->] x_86 HW x_86 HW NON x_86 HW Nova-Compute Proxy-Nova-Compute New Hardware Device. So, change the config in nova.conf in ESSEX-2 server to bare-metal and tilera specific config makes the nova-compute to proxy-nova-compute. I have a doubt here, I have an idea on using Nova-compute to bringing up VM's in ESSEX-2 when its another Nova-compute. But not we have Proxy-Nova-compute in the ESSEX-2 and we have no VM's here rather we have new Hardware board to bootup. How will the Commands from Nova-compute in ESSEX-1 differ to bring up TILERA HW board using the Proxy-Nova-compute in ESSEX-2 ? Please kindly help me understand this scenario. Thanks a lot for the reply... -- Trinath S.
