Hello,
can anyone give an example, how to do a fai-installation
with static ip-addresses for the clients? There are no dhcp-servers in
our subnets, where the servers are.
I have done this, though it was not the easiest task. My first step was
to create a bootable CD-ROM that uses GRUB to load the FAI kernel and
initrd (if you search the FAI archives I believe I posted the steps
previously). Next, I created some custom entries where I could specify
the IP address, similar to:
menuentry 'Wheezy 32 bit FAI using static IP' {
insmod part_msdos
echo 'Loading Linux 3.2.0-4-686-pae ...'
linux /wheezy/vmlinuz-3.2.0-4-686-pae
ip=192.168.1.222::192.168.1.1:255.255.255.0::eth0:off root=/dev/nfs
nfsroot=192.169.1.2:/srv/fai/nfsroot:vers=3 aufs boot=live
FAI_CONFIG_SRC=nfs://192.168.1.2/srv/fai/config
FAI_FLAGS=verbose,sshd,createvt FAI_ACTION=install
BOOT_IMAGE=vmlinuz-3.2.0-4-686-pae HOSTNAME=
echo 'Loading initial ramdisk ...'
initrd /wheezy/initrd.img-3.2.0-4-686-pae
}
I've obscured the IP addresses, for your reference:
192.168.1.222 is the IP address of the target system
192.168.1.1 is the network gateway
192.168.1.2 is the IP of the FAI server
and I have to fill-in the HOSTNAME= parameter so FAI will know what type
of installation to perform.
