How to Create a WAN Boot Configuration Image for Glance

The ldoms driver supports only WAN boot for network booting.

To use WAN boot to install a machine, you must create a WAN boot configuration image by using the mkwanbootcfg utility. This utility is included in the Nova driver package.

 /opt/openstack-ldoms/bin/mkwanbootcfg [-h] --output-file filename --url WANboot-file
  [--client-id WANboot-client-ID] [--hostname WANboot-hostname]
  [--http-proxy WANboot-proxy] [--tftp-retries WANboot-TFTP-retries]
  [--overwrite] [--version]

Only the –-output-file and –-output-file options are required.
