(i have the mac > address already) You can use the -f flag to the addhost program. addhost is responsible for adding/removing nodes to your cluster. The -f command line options accepts a text file containing the mac addresses as an argument. You also need to specify the nodegroup to add the nodes to, the network interface to use and the rack (if necessary) all on the command line. For example: # cat macs 0a:1b:3c:5d:6d:4b 0a:1b:3c:5d:6d:4c # addhost -f macs -n compute-rhel-5-x86_64 -j eth0 -r 0 Adding Node: compute-00-01, 0a:1b:3c:5d:6d:4b Adding Node: compute-00-02, 0a:1b:3c:5d:6d:4c Shutting down dhcpd: [ OK ] Starting dhcpd: [ OK ] Setting up automount maps for cfm: [ OK ] > 2. How do I extend the base install of a compute node. You can customize the base install of all nodes in a nodegroup using the ngedit tool. Some of the screens allow you to add packages to install on each of the nodes, add components provided by kits, etc. For more information on kits, see our kits documentation[3][4]. > 3. How do I add additional node types? The ngedit tool allows you to make copies of existing nodegroups (which describe a node type) and then customize it to your needs. Hope that helps!
