Hi Chris, I haven't tested whether it works but theoretically it should be possible imo. I don't see why you would want to do this though, but would like to understand your reasons. Why not just create OpenStack images and let OpenStack take care?
Some stuff that you need to care off if you would use PXE server in VM and boot other VMs via PXE: - ARP spoofing protection. Neutron by default(maybe not all drivers) has ARP spoofing protection, you will have to either make sure that your PXE server assigns the IP via DHCP that neutron has assigned to the instance. Alternatively you can disable ARP spoofing for a specific neutron port with `neutron port-update $port_id --allowed_address_pairs list=true type=dict ip_address=0.0.0.0/0` - Enabling cloud-init in your images that you're booting via PXE server. (May be optional but recommended) Regards, Sam Stoelinga On Sun, Aug 9, 2015 at 1:47 PM, Chris Friesen <chris.frie...@windriver.com> wrote: > Hi, > > I'm wondering if it's possible to set up one instance as a DHCP/tftp > server, and netboot another instance from it (using PXE or similar). > > Has anyone tried something like this?
