Hi Chris,
Thanks for your reply. I made an attempt based on your comments, but still
got the same issue, Chef UI of admin node could deploy apps on non-bare metal
server well, and crowbar UI cannot identify and show the node.
Here are my operation steps on non-bare metal node:
a) Build up crowbar admin node
b) Allocate a PXE node, and copy /etc/init.d/crowbar_join.sh to non-bare
metal node
c) Modify yum repository
d) Install secreen,ntpdate,ntp pkgs
e) Modify network configuration to meet crowbar settings
f) Set the desired hostname and fqdn
g) Run /etc/init.d/crowbar_join.sh, Chef UI can work successfully on admin
node
I am not quite clear how crowbar communitcates with chef so far, if i
missed something important to configļ¼please help me to point out.
Best Regards,
Hui Wu
