Hi, For the vCenter driver is is done by booting an instance from an ISO. That is:
1. Upload your ISO to glance 2. Use that image when booting Then you can for example connect to the console and install from the ISO.

It is so simple in vcenter or virtual box or hyperv, but I could not find a good way with nova/neutron even in kilo. Closest I found is like this https://access.redhat.com/solutions/1225473<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__access.redhat.com_solutions_1225473&d=BQMFaQ&c=Sqcl0Ez6M0X8aeM67LKIiDJAXVeAw-YihVMNtXt-uEs&r=VlZxHpZBmzzkWT5jqz9JYBk8YTeq9N3-diTlNj4GyNc&m=Uw1xyqQ_JJv_UfrGSnnkS8fAa_EgoCkSwrEed9_zxYE&s=pqv9iKSgWDVMKx8sQyoKwhpTcKwW9kyE4dKeWDBe4PA&e=> The problem with that approach is you need a block device created from image to use the command mounting as /dev/vdb and minimum size of that block device is 20gb. Also it cannot be easily unmounted later. If there is a way to mount cdrom device type directly in nova boot. I am sure I am not the first person to think of this.
