in rocks when you run the shoot-node command it reboots the box to PXE,
even if PXE is not first in the boot order it seems, does anyone know
how that is achieved? Is it in the grub config and if so how?
thanks
Back to the original poster, are you looking for a way to rebuild the
nodes automatically, remotely, and completely hands off, or just
merely to rebuild them quickly? I only deal with a couple of dozen
nodes (not hundreds), and using kickstart and storing the config files
on the server allows me to rebuild a node in about 15 minutes, of
which only the first minute or two requires my attention and physical
presence. I wrote a simple Perl script that generates the kickstart
file for each node.
thanks for the reply's - the main issue i have is that when i build a
new box currently my kix has to go something like
./addnewbox 'mac-yada-yada-yada' <hostname> <ip> <image name>
then walk away - yes i know thats not that hard and requires minimum
effort - I do however have to find mac's out first etc which on a lot of
boxes at once can be a pain.
i like the idea in rocks to be able to go next mac you see install with
x image so that i can just power up the boxes in order.
I guess id'd also like to be able to select a bunch of already running
boxes and have them rebuild to where they were last install just like
rocks can also do so i guess i'm after a mix of what i have now and some
features that rocks has. I would also like to be able to force a pix
boot next reboot just like the 'shoot-node' command in rocks but i dont
seem to be able to figure out how that works!!
thanks
