| | 6 | If the daemon works and you want to install/reinstall a node, a link must be placed in the ''/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg'' directory. This can be done with the 'pxeconfig' utility. This utility will ask some questions and will make the links for you. The utility requires the following setup: |
| | 7 | * All the pxe configuration files must start with the keyword ''default.'' N.B.: yes, the dot after 'default' is part and parcel of the keyword! In this distribution two examples are included. Pxeconfig lets the user decide which ''default.'' config file to use. |
| | 8 | |
| | 9 | * If default is a symbolic link to for example {{{default.harddisk}}}, then default.harddisk is not included in the list where the user can choose from. |
| | 10 | |
| | 11 | * You can give a command line switch to specify where the pxe config files reside: |
| | 12 | {{{ |
| | 13 | pxeconfig -d /<some>/<other>/<place> |
| | 14 | }}} |
| | 15 | |
| | 16 | The last utility is ''hexls''. This utility will display the hex pxe config file with the corresponding ip-addresses and hostnames |
| | 17 | |
| | 18 | |
| | 19 | == Systemimager activation == |
| | 20 | To activate this on a client you must add the following line to the ''systemimageer master'' script of the node. It will remove the pxe config file for the node from the pxe bootserver. I personally place the line just before the umount commands. See below which command to use for which systemimager version. |
| | 21 | |
| | 22 | Telnet is not included in the 3.X versions: |
| | 23 | {{{ |
| | 24 | # Remove the <hex_ipaddr> file from the pxelinux.cfg directory. |
| | 25 | # So the client will boot from disk |
| | 26 | # |
| | 27 | 3.X) chroot /a telnet $IMAGESERVER 6611 |
| | 28 | 2.X) telnet $IMAGESERVER 6611 |
| | 29 | }}} |
