2.0.0
- Fixed a bug in -r/--remove option. Do not display
pxe filemame menu.
Author: Bas van der Vlies
- pxeconfigd.xinetd in the example directory is created by
configure.
Implemented by : Bas van der Vlies & Ole Holm Nielsen
- Fixed some spell errors
Author: Bas van der Vlies & Ole Holm Nielsen
- Add new optione -w/--equal-width, eg:
* pxeconfig -w --basename gb-r40n -s 9 -e 10 --filename default.install
Will create links to default.install for hosts:
gb-r40n09
gb-r40n10
Suggested by : Ole Holm Nielsen
Implemented by : Bas van der Vlies
- Various bugs fixed with setting pxeconfig directory in pxeconfig.conf:
- Setting of the pxeconfig directory in config file did not have any effect
- Convert pxeconfig directory to realpath else os.chdir fails
Author: Bas van der Vlies
- Fixed a bug in short option '-b' (basename) must have an argument.
Author: Bas van der Vlies
- In analogue with systemimager we have the option:
-H,--host-range <number>-<number>
It must be used in combinatiion with -b,--basebane, eg:
pxeconfig --basename gb-r1n --host-range 1-2 -f default.memtest
will produce links to file default.memtest for these hosts
- gb-r1n1
- gb-r1n2
If leading zeros are used, then host names will be padded with zeros.
pxeconfig --basename gb-r1n --host-range 01-02 -f default.memtest
will produce links to file default.memtest for these hosts
- gb-r1n01
- gb-r1n02
Suggested by : Ole Holm Nielsen
Implemented by : Bas van der Vlies
- We do need the check for a C-compiler so remove it from the configure.in
and made a new configure
Author: Bas van der Vlies
- Added -R,--rack and -N,--node option, eg:
pxeconfig --basename gb- --rack r1-r2 --node n1-n2 -f default.memtest
will produce links to file defaul.memtest for these hosts:
- gb-r1n1
- gb-r1n2
- gb-r2n1
- gb-r2n2
If leading zeros are used, then rack and/or node names will be
padded with zeros, eg:
pxeconfig --basename gb- --rack r01-r02 --node n01-n02 -f default.memtest
will produce links to file defaul.memtest for these hosts:
- gb-r01n01
- gb-r01n02
- gb-r02n01
- gb-r02n02
Author: Bas van der Vlies
- Added --dry-run mode

=====================================================================
PXE-utilities
-------------
This is a release of the SARA package of utilities that we use to boot
our nodes with PXE-enabled network cards. This was developed because we
always want to use the PXE-enabled network card as our first boot
device. With pxelinux, which is a derivative of syslinux, you can
specify with a PXE configuration file how the node must boot. This
configuration is placed in, e.g. '/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg' directory.
The PXE-menu tools are used to control the booting of networked computers
directly from the computer's console at the BIOS level before any operating
system has been loaded. This is extremely useful for diagnostic purposes,
or for selecting an operating system installation method, of an individual
computer. For further information please read the files README-pxemenu and
INSTALL-pxemenu.
In our setup we have a default setup. The default setup is to boot from
harddisk. When a node boots it fetches the default configuration file
and the configuration file tells the node to boot from the harddisk.
This setup is used for nodes that have already been installed by
systemimager.
At SARA we have developed the following strategy how to install a fresh
node.
1) The ip-address in our setup is known for the new node. So
we make a link in the '/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg' directory to a
pxe config file which tells that it has to fetch the kernel en
root filesystem from our bootserver, eg:
0A000A02 ---> default.node_install (10.0.10.2)
2) The client starts and uses the systemimager software to install
the node. The last line of installation script connects to a
daemon on the bootserver. This daemon will remove the PXE config
filefor this node.
3) The node reboots and will use the default pxe config file which
will instruct the node to boot from harddisk.
This release contains the following utilities:
pxeconfigd)
This is daemon that removes the pxe configuration file of a node.
pxeconfig)
With this program we can specify which pxe config file
a node or nodes must use. This utility will create the links
in '/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg'
hexls)
Is a utility that diplays a directory, and, if in this directory
contains HEX files, it will convert them to IP-numbers.
