I completely agree! That's the very best approach! > Do you think it'd be possible to have a > distributed network of hosts in the inventory?

That's a very good question, actually :) I don't believe it's needed for these boxes to be on the same network at all. But it will be some communication between the scheduler, inventory and the test boxes. Each local site might need to have a local inventory, I'm not sure how that really works. Anyway it must exist some kind of serial port console which is accessible over the network somehow as well. But I believe the IPMI SOL access can be used in most cases, for the hardware which supports that ... Remember that the box is scratch installed on each test run, to provide a predictable testing environment. kind regards, David Sommerseth -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAksmN+QACgkQDC186MBRfrqbuQCgrS0L2vRxvjW/sEASuB7d1ak4 Pw4AoJAghuewPSgI5UIUzsTmANzUnonT =/EGN -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
