There are however some limitations for different hardware interfaces:

use the following command::

Apart from that, because of the way the agent deploy method works, image
hrefs can use only HTTP(S) protocol.
* :ref:`direct-deploy` requires the instance image be accessible through a
HTTP(s) URL.
* If you're using ``iscsi_ilo`` or ``agent_ilo`` driver, Object Storage service
is required, as these drivers need to store floppy image that is used to pass
parameters to deployment iso. For this method also only HTTP(S) hrefs are
acceptable, as HP iLO servers cannot attach other types of hrefs as virtual
media.
* Other drivers use PXE deploy method and there are no special requirements
in this case.
* Some :doc:`boot interfaces </admin/interfaces/boot>` (for example,

nova boot command, you also need to specify some fields in ``instance_info``.
For PXE deployment, they are ``image_source``, ``kernel``, ``ramdisk``,

#. You also need to specify some fields in the node's ``instance_info``:
* ``image_source`` - URL of the whole disk or root partition image,
mandatory. For :ref:`direct-deploy` only HTTP(s) links are accepted,
while :ref:`iscsi-deploy` also accepts links to local files (prefixed
with ``file://``).
* ``root_gb`` - size of the root partition, mandatory.
.. TODO(dtantsur): root_gb should not be mandatory for whole disk images,
but it seems to be.
* ``image_checksum`` - MD5 checksum of the image specified by
``image_source``, only required for :ref:`direct-deploy`.
* ``kernel``, ``ramdisk`` - HTTP(s) or file URLs of the kernel and
initramfs of the target OS, only required for partition images.

Here $IMG, $KERNEL, $RAMDISK can also be HTTP(S) or file hrefs. For agent

instance image is required::
openstack baremetal node set $NODE_UUID --instance-info image_checksum=$MD5HASH
