Here's what I want to do (all machines are running 'etch') ...
I have two labs on which I want to install systems. The first lab has
machines la1, la2, and la3 (with la0 being the "golden" machine), and
the second lab has machines lb1 and lb2 (with lb0 being its "golden"
machine).
Say I now create two "images" -- 'latest' (copy of la0) and 'lbtest'
(copy of lb0) -- and place them on the SI server via si_getimage.
Questions:
* How can I define *two* different sets of machines (i.e., the la?
machines *and* the lb? machines) with si_addclients? By running
it twice? Where does the "client info" get written (that way I
can check for myself!).
* Can I "mix and match" the images and machine groups? In other
words, am I able to put the 'latest' image on one or more of the
lb? machines? Can I also put the 'lbtest' image on a machine in
either group as well?
* Would I have to create two different "autoinstalling bootable
floppies" (I can't do a network install), one for each set of
machines and/or images?
I guess what's confusing me is this: is SI only allowed to work on one
group of machines (e.g, m1, m2, ...) and a set of images (e.g. i1, i2,
...).
As you can tell, I want to use *one* SI server host to (flexibly)
maintain two separate labs and multiple images.
Sorry if this isn't clear ... but I'm confused! ;-)
Thanks for your help,
