Hello everyone,
I am new to this product and was hoping that someone
may be able to assist me with some questions. My
apologies in advance if this is documented but thus
far I have not been able to find what I'm looking for.
I have a Linux OS image that I've captured from
another machine in the form of a gzipped tar file
which I would like to use to image several other Linux
clients. I would like to use BitTorrent to do this.
As I understand it, when the clients PXE boots it
loads a RAMDISK which runs some shell scripts. In
those shell scripts, how does the client tell the
SystemImager server to bring over the gzipped tar
file? In other words, what command does the client
run?
Also, once the first client starts receiving the
gzipped tar file, how do the other clients manage to
get their image from the first client? Does the first
client have to have some bittorrent server running on
it and how do the other clients know to get the image
from the first client? And, again, what command do
the other clients use to get the image from the first
client who already has partial image?
Thank you.
Rigoberto
