[Octa-list] Octa Deployment Documentation and hypervisor support

[Aron Parsons]

This should fairly simple to implement:
UI:
- list system profiles instead of kickstart profiles

Backend:
- have Cobbler update the system profile you selected with the MAC from the VM you just created
- create a config option to toggle between behaviors?

I'd be happy to commit any patches that implement this.

Well that unfortunate... what I'm looking for is something to handle the
fact that my definition of the systems is readily defined in cobbler, and
on RHEL+Xen all we had to do was use koan and it would pull the profile.
Now despite having the profile defined in Cobbler, I have to manually
define things like CPU, memory, and disk space in RHEV.  I was pointed to
this project as a possibility.

I've already got cobbler doing the DHCP and the on demand building... its
that integration piece I need so I dont have to make people input data in
multiple places.
