Mikyung Kang abe1db6f88 PXE bare-metal provisioning helper server 
a part of blueprint general-bare-metal-provisioning-framework.

Implement nova-baremetal-deploy-helper.

This service listens for HTTP requests from baremetal deploy ramdisk,
formats the remote disk and writes an image to it, as part of baremetal
PXE provisioning.

blueprint improve-baremetal-pxe-deploy shows how we plan to improve this
process.

SYNOPSIS

nova-baremetal-deploy-helper

DESCRIPTION

This is a service which should run on nova-compute host when using the baremetal driver. During a baremetal node's first boot, nova-baremetal-deploy-helper works in conjunction with diskimage-builder's "deploy" ramdisk to write an image from glance onto the baremetal node's disks using iSCSI. After that is complete, nova-baremetal-deploy-helper switches the PXE config to reference the kernel and ramdisk which correspond to the running image.
