Hi,
I have being devoted to investigating linux network installation via UUID(Universal Unique Identifier), unique for each IBM xSeries server.
As I know, syslinux 2.07 has provided support of sending a dhcp request containing UUID infomation, which can be recogonized by dhcpd3.0. Do you have any idea of how to make dhcp client in anaconda send request with additional UUID infomation.
[dhcpd.conf]
authoritative;
ddns-update-style none;
option client-guid code 97 = { unsigned integer 8, string };
shared-network eth0 {
subnet 172.20.0.0 netmask 255.255.0.0 {
filename "/pxelinux.0";
next-server 172.20.3.2;
default-lease-time -1;
class "l2" {
match if substring(option client-guid,1,16) = c0:2f:86:a1:0a:b4:4a:12:b8:23:b0:84:18:17:91:cb;
}
pool {
allow members of "l2";
option host-name "l2";
option root-path "/RHEL3/QU3";
range 172.20.3.25;
}
} #172.20.0.0/255.255.0.0 subnet_end#
} #eth0 network_end#
Yours Sincerely,
