Probably too late, but will write my opinion anyway: I would set up netboot environment that each server is configured to boot from automatically (falling back to harddisk boot). The DHCP configuration is defined to include netboot configuration for servers that are scheduled for reinstallation.
Netboot system will automatically reinstall the server using specified image, notify DHCP on success and reboot. -- Arie On Thu, Mar 11, 2010 at 02:41, Amos Shapira <[email protected]> wrote: > On 11 March 2010 00:11, Ira Abramov <[email protected]> > wrote: > > On the short list are: > > * OpenQRM (an overkill, and I think avoiding full wipe is not easy) > > * G4L (I know nothing about it) > > * Partimage/PING (donno it, and it seems unmaintained) > > * Clonezilla (seems like the best candidate ATM) > > * FOG (aka freeghost - seems pretty good as well) > > I haven't tried all the options in the list but as far as my experience > goes: > 1.
