We're switching from having a variety of system management tools to managing
our hardware with xCAT. We're looking to upgrade to a newer version of
SystemImager and to finally retire our current (old) SI box (It even has "old"
in the hostname!).
I'd like to have SystemImager and xCAT live peacefully together on the same
network, using xCAT's commands to be able to remotely powercycle and
automatically provision systems. I'm looking for a good resource to do this
integration.
Currently, SystemImager controls DHCP, but I'd like that control to be given to
xCAT, with xCAT triggering a system to netboot the SI installer image.
I am also looking to take optimizations from Twitter's Murder
(https://github.com/lg/murder) and apply them to SI for blasting images out in
a more efficient manner. I can start helping out with this once I have a newer
SI install running.
