While we're extremely happy with the pxeconfig utilities for SI 2.X,
I wonder why you would opt to use them with SI 3.X which has its own
utilities for automatic installation. Would you care to describe the
pros and cons of using either method with SI 3.X ?

Subject: [Sisuite-users] ANNOUNCE: New version of pxeconfig utilities
0.4.2
Minor change to pxeconfig/pxeconfigd utiltites. Added '-V/--version'
flag for printing version info.
Updated the INSTALL instructions. Howto use it for systemimager 3.X
versions
First of all we are used to our own pxeconfig tools ;-)
Here are the main differences between the systemimager 3 approach and ours:
- ) In the systemimager 3 setup there is a link for every succesful
installed host. If you have a huge cluster then there are a lot
of links. Try to find which host did not installed properly or
to reinstall a node you have to scan the directory and remove
the link.
- ) With our tools you can select which pxe config file to use, eg:
install a node, boot from hardisk or perform a memtest ... with
systemimager 3 there are two options install or boot from hardisk.
- ) Our tools manage the pxelinux.cfg directory you can select what to
do. In systemimager 3 there is automatic imstallation method, but
there are no tools that manage the directory. You have to write
your own tools to eg. remove the links.
PS) I am also porting the tools to the IA64 platform.
