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.
