Components ========== `disk-image-create [-a i386|amd64|armhf] -o filename {element} [{element} ...]` Create an image of element {element}, optionally mixing in other elements. Element dependencies are automatically included. Support for other architectures depends on your environment being able to run binaries of that platform. For instance, to enable armhf on Ubuntu install the qemu-user-static package. The default output format from disk-image-create is qcow2. To instead output a tarball pass in "-t tar". This tarball could then be used as an image for a linux container(see docs/docker.md). `ramdisk-image-create -o filename {element} [{element} ...]` Create a kernel+ ramdisk pair for running maintenance on bare metal machines (deployment, inventory, burnin etc). To generate kernel+ramdisk pair for use with nova-baremetal, use:: ramdisk-image-create -o deploy.ramdisk deploy-baremetal To generate kernel+ramdisk pair for use with ironic, use:: ramdisk-image-create -o deploy.ramdisk deploy-ironic `disk-image-get-kernel filename` **DEPRECATED** Extract the appropriate kernel and ramdisk to use when doing PXE boot using filename as the image for a machine. Consider using the :ref:`baremetal` element, rather than this tool. `element-info` Extract information about elements. elements can be found in the top level elements directory.
