developed at Cisco.
We have developed an alternative mechanism that allows a user to install OpenStack for DFA software from
pre-built/cloned images used for build server, OpenStack controller and compute nodes in the COI installation
and deployment model. The target UCS needs to have a minimum of 500.1G hard disk space.
