Subject: Re: [gpfsug-discuss] Adding client nodes using a shared NFS root image.

We use mmsdrrestore after the node boots. In our case these are diskless nodes 
provisioned by xCAT.  The post install script takes care of ensuring infiniband 
is lit up, and does the mmsdrrestore followed by mmstartup.

Hi everyone,

We want all of our compute nodes (bare metal) to directly participate in the 
cluster as client nodes; of course, they are sharing a common root image.

Adding nodes via the regular mmaddnode (with the dsh operation to replicate 
files to the clients) isn’t really viable, but if I short-circuit that, and 
simply generate the /var/mmfs/gen files and then manually copy those and the 
keyfiles to the shared root images, is that safe?

Am I going about this the entirely wrong way?
