Hello, I checked into OSCAR trunk a new version of netbootmgr. It is supposed to fix some bugs (#214, #213) and help solving #207 for multi-architecture installs.
I've also uploaded netbootmgr to sourceforge.net and made it a sf.net project (http://sf.net/projects/netbootmgr). This decouples netbootmgr from OSCAR development and should make it useful for people outside OSCAR, too. The latest version is downloadable there. The most significant changes to netbootmgr: - a command line interface has been added (netbootmgr-cmd). This can be used to list and set manually the "next boot actions". It will be used to set the NBA for multi-arch installs. - a set of commands have been added for gathering status information which is displayed in the netbootmgr panel. Currently checking actively: - ganglia status (is the host active by means of ganglia heartbeat?) - systemimager status (checking systemimager status XML file, for normal hosts this will just show that the host was installed and rebooted) - torque status (is the host free, busy?) - there is an interface hidden inside netbootmgr for cluster power control by using cpower, a tool which will become open source in a short while. The interface becomes visible when cpower is detected to be available and configured. Next plans for netbootmgr: * make the status collection stand-alone, i.e. detach it from netbootmgr into a separate daemon. * add reaction capabilities to the status daemon: do something if a particular state change is detected. * make a web GUI for netbootmgr, some day get rid of the perl-Qt dependency. Comments, help, etc... is always welcome!
