xCAT does not support bit torrent now. Thanks.

SystemImager has a bit torrent mode available  (see chapter 4
http://www.systemimager.org/documentation/systemimager-manual-4.1.6.pdf).
I’ve never used it with xCAT, but if they can be used together, that could
speed up  parallel installs.



      We recently moved from rinstall to system imager to speed up imaging
      and
      ensure consistency, but there are few issues.

      1) Install is much faster for single node, but reimaging 100+ nodes
      at
      the same time is very slow over 1gig network.  Is it possible to
      change
      the IP of rsync server for images? I want to move to 10G interface on

      management server without changing dhcp interface. Also, is it
      possible
      to use 9000 MTU on genesis kernel. I added "option interface-mtu
      9000"
      to dhcp.conf and this works once the machine is re-imaged, but not
      during imaging process.
      [XQ]: compute nodes should use the ip address that got from
      management node to download files from management node. So compute
      nodes should use the dhcp interface to communicate with management
      node, but you do not want to change the dhcp interface. So currently,
      can not use the 10G interface directly. Currently, the genesis can
      not configure the mtu for interface.


      Cheers,
      Yuriy
