boot order for instance
Currently, Nova supports disk, cdrom and floppy as boot device type
and the user can specify the boot order through the following command:
$ nova boot ... --block-device bootindex=integer
This blueprint aims to provide the possibility to define a boot order across devices , whether disk, nic or PCI assigned device.
In this way the instance can also boot from network interface bypassing the image/snapshot/
The blueprint also proposes to extend the Nova boot command in a way that the --block-
allow for an integer boot priority value to be specified per device and not only per device type.
Example
$ nova boot ... --block-device bootindex=integer ... --nic bootindex=integer
