[Xen-users] Is it possible "xen domU PXE boot" ??

["Ji-Hyoung Lee" <neomark4@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi everyone,

I want to know whether domain-U can boot PXE.

I read relative article from here mailing list or many web sites already, but I don't understand clearly.

I concluded it is impossible, but Virtual Iron support VM's(domU) pxe boot. I am confused.

If it is possible, in my opinion, it needs a boot-loader support PXE ( for example, pygrub support pxe boot - of course I know it is not support PXE currently ) 

Actually I want this.

[my_vm]
name = "my_vm"
memory = 256
disk = [ 'file:/xxx/xxx/xx.img, sda1,w' ]           <== I don't care correct or not 
vif=['mac=00:16:3e:11:22:33']
root="/dev/sda1 ro"
bootloader="/usr/bin/pygrub-with-pxe"
boot_way = "PXE"                                               <== this is key point

I configure the file and I input command like this

[root@xxx] xm create my_vm

Then pygrub-with-pxe broadcasts my MAC address to  DHCP server, following process is the same as PXE boot process

Is it possilble? Anyone succeed like this way?  

Any relative advice thanks for me.

 
Thank you for reading and sorry my poor english :)
