Description

Hi,

For a customer who wants to deploy a big number of dedicated servers on OVH I am researching automating the process, and I am interested in taking advantage of the BYOI feature. Sadly, I have not been able to find any documentation on how to create those images, or even what are the technical specifications.

I would like to be able to control exactly how the servers are installed, ideally including disk partitioning. But I have no clue how to even start.

Thank you.

Start by locating the existing BYOI documentation and the material describing image creation for OVH dedicated servers. Document the required image specifications, creation process, and whether disk partitioning is supported; done means a newcomer can follow the documented process without needing information from the issue thread.
