# PXE boot nodes into a live image
|
|
|
|
|
|
## current attempt
|
|
|
- installed dnsmasq on storagenode (yes storage)
|
|
|
- downloaded CentOS 6.5 netboot image to storagenode:/root
|
|
|
- mounted image to storagenode:/mnt/liveiso
|
|
|
- configured dnsmasq to act as dhcp server with address space 10.1.1.: .8-.10, .13-16
|
|
|
- configured dnsmasq to provide network boot information that is pointing to /mnt/liveiso
|
|
|
- started computenode08 via IMPI
|
|
|
- waited for something awesome to happen
|
|
|
- pinged around for new hosts
|
|
|
- stopped computenode08 again
