We use two DNS/NFS-Server at installation time in our CLIC environment.
And the trick is, that we use two different network boot images
mknbi-linux $KSINSTROOT/ks-cd-img-6.2/misc/src/trees/boot/vmlinuz \
$KSINSTROOT/ks-cd-img-6.2/misc/src/trees/initrd-network.img \
--append="ks=nfs:192.168.250.253:$KSINSTROOT/ks-roots/ " \
> linux-6.2.nbi.192.168.250.253
bzw.
mknbi-linux $KSINSTROOT/ks-cd-img-6.2/misc/src/trees/boot/vmlinuz
$KSINSTROOT/ks-cd-img-6.2/misc/src/trees/initrd-network.img \
--append="ks=nfs:192.168.250.254:$KSINSTROOT/ks-roots/ " \
> linux-6.2.nbi.192.168.250.254
and the lines in ks-script to obtain the host information of the client is:
network --bootproto dhcp
If you want install many nodes in a short time you should change the
tftp line in /etc/inetd.conf on both servers
### /etc/inetd.conf
tftp dgram udp wait.120 root /usr/sbin/tcpd in.tftpd <boot image path>
### /etc/inetd.conf
and execute "killall -HUP inetd" to make sure that inetd get this
informations.
For more informations please consult (!!!sorry only in german!!!):
