Evening All,
Having digested the problem and undesirability of moving the DHCP services
for SystemImager onto a different server than the images and the rest of the
operation (internal politics, ugh!), I have been thinking of alternate
configurations to address my real problem, which is the need to be able to
completely reimage our testbed cluster (including the head node) with one of
several different environments. After some uffish thought, I had the idea of
setting up a SystemImager server that functions entirely independently of the
cluster head node, as in:
---------------------------------------------------- External Routed LAN
| |
+--------------------+ +---------------------+
| Cluster Head Node | | SystemImager Server |
+--------------------+ +---------------------+
| |
---------------------------------------------------- Private Cluster LAN
| | |
Compute Node Compute Node Compute Node
Is there any reason that this should present a problem? I know that I will
probably want to mask the external interface of the head node from the
enterprise DHCP servers to make sure that it doesn't get a reply that breaks
reimaging it. Am I missing anything else dreadfully obvious, and has anyone
else made a setup like this work before?
Thanks,
Andy
