Title: [Sisuite-users] systemimager via pxe
webmail, sorry for my format.  Because I found it so useful (and hard to find!) I am mirroring the NIFLHEIM paper on how to get PXE working with systemimager.  I tried to put the link in WIKI but I am very unfamiliar with it, so maybe it is not easy to get to.  Here is the link: http://world.anarchy.com/~peter/systemimager/2002.09.18_NIFLHEIM_Cluster_Uses_SystemImager.pdf
 
Regards,

Subject: [Sisuite-users] systemimager via pxe

Hi,
i am trying to get something working using systemimager, but I don't if
I can make this with this software.
Well, I want to configure a machine as an image serveur with many
clients images stored on it. The clients update the remote image daily
or weekly. If a client crash, we just have to reboot the machine, boot
via the pxe, receive an IP from the Image/DHCP server, and download the
last remote image (selecting the good one) via tfpft or something else,
and finally boot normaly with local kernel and datas.

>From now, i have installed systemimager server and client, create a
remote image, and I have just succeed to boot correctly via pxe, but
using the remote kernel from the image.

The getimage script has correctly made my client image on the server,
generating a /var/lib/systemimager/scripts/GX150.master script. I
supposed this script may be used to restore the image on the client but
I don't if I'm right, and how to do this.

Most help I have found on the official systemimager website, and also
from many others websites, are showing documentation for booting from a
diskette, CD or a lilo bootloader. But almost nothing describing how to
get systemimager working from a pxe boot.

thanks a lot for helping me.

john

Ps: sorry for my poor english...
