+- finished minimal fai concepts
+- added some documentation for fai
+
*) 2004-12-07
- added fai directory including new rc_fai.sh script
------
./scripts/Create-FAI
+./fai/*
./doc/FAI
procedure
the install process. fai-server is actually the target you will
need as a running system to have pxeboot/nfsutils and stuff.
- ./scripts/Create-FAI
+ note: you might want to fetch hdw binaries from a mirror.
+ edit your /etc/hdw-get.conf file.
+
+ ./scripts/Create-FAI <nfsroot>
+
+ where <nfsroot> is the directory to install the fairoot.
2) edit the following files to match your needs, and restart services
(have a look at chapter "fai server configuration")
+ note: again you might want to use a mirror. edit hdw-get.conf, but make
+ sure it is the one from fairoot.
+
3) adapt configs in ./fai (see chapter "fai config files")
- 4) pxeboot your install candidates and watch installation
+ 4) pxeboot your install candidates. this is actually not fully
+ automated.
+
+ - type "fai" on pxeboot prompt
+ - after first bootup, use cfdisk to partition your harddisk
+ - touch a disk_ready file in configuration space
+ (after using cfdisk, sync to disk file!)
+ - reboot and finaly wathc your target system to get hdw'ed :)
+
+ 5) login, build a new kernel. copy new bzImage to /boot/vmlinuz_hdw
+ and run lilo again. reboot and enjoy! good luck.
fai config files
----------------
+ config files reside in 1) ./fai/config/<client_ip>/ and 2) ./fai/files/
+ directories.
+
+ config dir:
+
+ - the files reside in a subdirectory, which is simply the
+ clients ip address, as different clients may need different
+ config.
+ - files:
+ 1) disk
+ 2) packages
+
+ disk file is used to determine the partition layout and
+ used harddisk. the format: (example, its intuitive!)
+
+ # disk /dev/hda
+ # swap 7
+ 1 /boot ext3 format
+ 5 / ext3 format
+ 6 /home ext3 preserve
+
+ packages file contains packages to get installed. you
+ may use ./scripts/Helper -create_dist_files to create
+ one. make sure that all the packages are available on
+ the mirror, otherwise the fai install routine will
+ break. hint: switch the partitions to "preserve" and
+ hdw-get will not install already installed packages
+ again.
+
+ files dir:
+
+ - files called DEFAULT in a special directory will be copied to
+ every client to the file of its dirname.
+ - files named like a clients ip address will be only copied to
+ that client (again, the file will be the dirname)
+
+ example:
+
+ ./fai/files/etc/X11/XF86Config/DEFAULT will be copied to all
+ clients as /etc/X11/XF86Config file.
+
+
fai server configuration
------------------------
-[to be continued]
+there are several files you need to hack. here we go:
+
+ - dhcpd:
+
+ file: /etc/dhcpd.conf
+
+ examples rule, have a look at the configuration for my fai
+ client:
+
+ ...
+ option routers 192.168.10.10;
+ option domain-name-servers 192.168.10.50, 194.25.134.203;
+ host compaq {
+ fixed-address 192.168.10.80;
+ hardware ethernet 00:50:8b:cb:8e:d2;
+ allow booting;
+ allow bootp;
+ next-server hackstation; # the fai server
+ server-name hackstation;
+ filename "pxelinux.0";
+ }
+ ...
+
+ - tftpboot (you will need tftp-hpa as tftpserver)
+
+ the scripts prepared a working fai config file at
+ /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg, just add a symbolic link of your clients
+ ip address (in hex, use: gethostip) pointing to fai.
+ ofcourse you need to have the package syslinux installed.
+
+ - nfsd:
+
+ file: /etc/exports
+
+ the scripts added export entries. just substitute "foobar" to
+ the name or ip address of your fai clients.
+
+ - inetd
+
+ file: /etc/inetd.conf
+
+ make sure the tftpboot line is uncommented. if you have problems
+ of tftpd switching to user nobody google for solutions. if you
+ are too lazy substitute "nobody" by "root in inetd.conf. this
+ is dangerous though, you have been warned.
+
+note: restart all the mentioned services.
