I committed a small patch to the systemconfigurator source tree. It is not yet
in OSCAR. It is a modification needed for Kerrighed. Kerrighed needs
_per_host_ IDs appended to the kernel boot parameters.
This patch leads to the replacement of the string <HOSTID> in the global
APPEND variable of the [BOOT] block in the systemconfig.conf file.
<HOSTID> is replaced with the concatenation of all digits in the $HOSTNAME.
So now we can define the global APPEND block inside an image's
/etc/systemconfig/systemconfig.conf file to be
APPEND = "nodeid=<HOSTID>"
The kernel specific append blocks are not touched!
This is of course only a small part of the way we need to go. Next step is to
find a place where to enter and manage these global APPEND variables. The
choices are:
- packages/sis/configurator.html and per image configuration options
(advantage: the systemconfig.conf in the image is created by
systeminstaller, therefore this is the natural location).
- packages/kernel_picker/configurator.html
(if set here, it will need to invoke systeminstaller lib routines).
As you can guess, I'm more for setting this variable inside the SIS package
and let kernel_picker do what it was made for: pick a kernel. This, by the
way, needs to be possible on a per-image basis, too.
Regards,
Erich
