<p class="MsoNormal">Hi all,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m looking into modifying the host add endpoint for personal use, and wanted to ask a few clarifying questions:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If I understand it correctly, the POST v1/ihosts endpoint is how hosts are added, and corresponds to the post/ _do_post commands in this file:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><a href="https://github.com/starlingx-staging/stx-config/blob/master/sysinv/sysinv/sysinv/sysinv/api/controllers/v1/host.py">https://github.com/starlingx-staging/stx-config/blob/master/sysinv/sysinv/sysinv/sysinv/api/controllers/v1/host.py</a><o:p></o:p></p>

<ul style="margin-top:0in" type="disc">
<li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">When the host is set to action state HAS_REINSTALLING, is this to reinstall the base .iso (unconfigured, but of the correct kind)? If not, what is this responsible for doing? If so,
when does this trigger on the added host?<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">Where can I find this file/other API related files in the filesystem?<o:p></o:p></li></ul>

<ul style="margin-top:0in" type="disc">
<li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">If I’m adding controller-1 on an edge cloud, the pxeboot step handles both unconfigured .iso installation, followed immediately by the bootstrap (using the same overrides as controller-0(?)).
Are these two separate in any way, or handled by a single config? Is this different from the central cloud, since the bootstrap override file isn’t ever present on an edge cloud machine<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">Is there a mechanism to avoid pxe-booting while still having a host as part of the inventory (is this just host-add)?<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">Is there a way to run the bootstrap on the second host without pxebooting/ reinstalling the base .iso in the process?<o:p></o:p></li></ul>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m aware that this is not supported/ tested, but any help on any of the above questions would be greatly appreciated.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">(I am also aware of the INSTALL_UUID potentially presenting an issue, but if any of the above are possible that would be great to know.)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks!
