Hi, I am a happy user of SI-Suite. I have used the software to administrate our linux/beowulf-type cluster since around 2003. Presently, we are in an updating-procedure, which means that we also change to newest stable release of SI-Suite.
I have a few questions, that I hope you can briefly answer. 1. Is it correct that SI-suite presently do not come/work with SystemInstaller? SystemInstaller is mentioned at the Wiki main page and briefly in the pdf-docs as well, but several of the tools seem to have moved, e.g. mksimachine (SystemInstaller) is now replaced by e.g. si_addclients and si_mkdhcpstatic (SystemImager). 2. Does new (v.4) SystemImager keep a database of corresponding nodenames, mac-addresses, IP-addresses, image-names etc, as available from "old" mksimachine (without arguments)? I would like to get information about the "present state" like the "old" mksimachine output. 3. Can I enter MAC-address information into SystemImager without going through the si_mkdhcpstatic script? Often, we may have the MAC-information on hand. Maybe it is as simple, as just adding lines to dhcpd.conf manually (if the info is not stored anywhere else)? Finally, let me thank you for a truly great piece of software. I does a great deal to simplify the otherwise daunting task for setup and maintainace of clusters.
