For the first box in a cluster, have the network team use ip helpers on the switches. Then you pxe from a box somewhere that you already have cobbler. If that isn't an option but you already have 1 linux box up, install isc dhcpd on it. Then set the next-server directive (for tftp) to a cobbler server over the wan with the servers you want to build registered. This is assuming you have sane out of band management such as sun ILOMS or hp ILOS. Am I missing anything here? I 'spose for that server you need to do ip helpers to it could be a desktop that you install fedora and cobbler on :) -- Jeff Schroeder Don't drink and derive, alcohol and analysis don't mix. http://www.digitalprognosis.com _______________________________________________ cobbler mailing list [email protected] https://fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/cobbler
