Description
What would you like to be added:
I would like to discuss if we can add an option to boot from virtual-media instead of network boot.
Why is this needed:
This would decouple the server from any and all boot related network requirements (DHCP relay etc.)
Pro's:
- no more network dependency for booting
- less blackbox as the mount is an api call which can be verified
Con's:
- might be vendor specific
- more bandwidth on oob connection needed
