After running the first few commands, I have /tftpboot/confluent/x86_64/ipxe*
and /var/lib/confluent/public/{os, distribution}/ubuntu* present, along with
genesis-x86_64/.
However the contents of the RHEL/CentOS /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf are such that
“filename” is “xcat/xnba.*”, so that’s what gets loaded.
Do I need to tweak the dhcpd.conf just for the test system I’m playing with, or
should a completely new dhcpd.conf file be put in place for using Confluent?
(Moving the current one out of the way, perhaps temporarily until I get an
understanding of Confluent so I can revert to xCat if need-be.)
