| 18:52.43 | Quanticles | hi |
| 18:53.09 | Quanticles | i've read a bunch of tutorials on PXE, but it's still not very clear how certain things work |
| 18:53.56 | Quanticles | mostly, how the OS is set up for the clients |
| 18:54.24 | Quanticles | for my application our research group is buying 20 servers |
| 18:54.54 | Quanticles | i'd like to set things up so i install the OS on 1 machine, then use PXE to load the OS from that 1 machine for the other 19 |
| 18:55.12 | Quanticles | but all 20 servers are still available for use by our researchers |
| 18:56.03 | Quanticles | is this possible to do? |
| 18:56.25 | Quanticles | some tutorials make it seem like i would need to use a disk image that gets loaded on boot |
| 18:56.40 | Quanticles | but then i'd have to update server 1, then create a new image for servers 2 through 20 to use |
| 18:58.45 | Quanticles | and it's not clear how much tweaking the OS needs - we'll be running RHEL5.2 |
| 18:58.58 | Quanticles | any suggestions would be helpful |
| 18:58.59 | Quanticles | thanks |
| 21:00.51 | Quanticles | i'll bbl |
