Dear list,
our wiki has got some instructions at
http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/HowTo/LtspDisklessWorkstation
(thanks, Nigel, for your confirmation). The howto leave some questions
to me:
At some point, a combo server is mentioned to be apt for diskless
clients. According to (7.), those are connected to eth0 (10.0.2.0/23).
- If we install LTSP/Diskless client server on a different machine, we
obviously need to configure DHCP servers on _two_ machines. Is this a
real problem?
no you only need 1 dhcp server, the one on the main server. But you need
to add the next-server and the filename to that dhcp config. the ip
address you specify will be the diskless server.
the dhcp range will use one next-server ip address. And by specifying
mac addresses in dhcpd.conf, you can have each of those clients use a
separate diskless server.
You can only have 1 dhcp server for a given subnet. The howto expects a
separate main server and thin client server(diskless server), but it
will work with a combined server too.
- Within the backbone net, now our diskless client server's DHCP
competes with tjener. But diskless clients will request for PXE/tftp
while normal workstations just go for DHCP. Is this distinction enough
to serve both type of clients on the backbone? Or is it compulsary to
make both servers ignore unknown MAC addresses?
again: one 1 dhcp server in a giver subnet. but the dhcp server points
the client to the correct tftp server using next-server
