Just an idea for the future.
One of the very nice features of Virtual Iron was that you ran the hypervisors completely disk less. They had a management server which would act as a DHCP/PXE server over a managed network. So when you wanted a new node to run VM's you simply PXE booted a physical machine and it would boot up the whole hypervisor in memory and then writing all node specific configurations to a database on the management server.
This would be an awesome feature to have for Proxmox. Simply bundle a dhcp/pxe server to the main install and create a boot image to use for PXE booted servers.
Then a data center setup would look something like.
1 or 2 master nodes that where to have physical disk and that would require install from media to disk. These nodes should always keep the data in sync regarding all other nodes and you should be able to tell which one who is the active dhcp/pxe server that serves the pxe boot. All other nodes would simply PXE boot from one of these servers.
This of course would require a management network for the nodes but it is cheap to add nic's in servers.
