I hope this is the right place to ask - If not I would greatly
appreciate a hint where this should be posted.
Thank you for your time.
I'm booting successful via pxeboot a live ubuntu 12.04 remix. I want to
set the host name via dhcp because I'm booting several instances of the
same image.
Right now I'm using a hook line in
/etc/dhcp/dhclient-enter-hooks.d/pinhostname that works quite well.
RUN="yes"
if [ "$RUN" = "yes" ]; then
var=`/sbin/ifconfig eth0 | /usr/bin/awk '/inet addr/ {print $2}' |
/usr/bin/cut -f2 -d:`
var=`/usr/bin/dig -x $var +short`
var=`echo $var | /usr/bin/awk -F. '{print $1}'`
/bin/hostname $var
fi
But the dhcp server comes to late for munin etc and the hostname is not
set in time. In the Casper log it shows me it receives the host name
much earlier:
IP-Config: eth0 hardware address 08:00:27:86:3e:84 mtu 1500 DHCP RARP
IP-Config: eth0 complete (from 10.1.1.1):
address: 10.1.1.10 broadcast: 10.1.1.255 netmask:
255.255.255.0
gateway: 10.1.1.1 dns0 : 10.1.1.1 dns1 : 0.0.0.0
host : storage1
domain : domain.com
rootserver: 10.1.1.1 rootpath:
filename : pxelinux.0
How can I set that host name. I think I need to put a script in /scripts
before I pack the initrd. There a loads of different scripts where would
I put mine?
