To have FAI working smoothly, we'll need DNS under our control or with our entries. (Because the easiest way of assigning FAI classes is by DNS.) I did not fully understand, wether we can/have to setup our own DNS-server or if we'll have to use HUT's. Could you please clarify this in the meeting today ?! In case we'll have to use theirs, we won't need to change the configuration that often - we'll only have to let them set it up - which might become difficult as july 2nd+3rd are saturday+sunday and I expect them to leave somewhat earlier on friday, the 1st. An additional problem would be, if we would have to use their DHCP-servers. (As we dont have/know all servers -> MAC adresses yet.) But from what I've read, we'll run our own dhcp. Hmmm... if we (only) control dhcp, a static assignment of ip-addresses to names would work. We (/me..) could have this list ready by friday (july 1st) morning - so please ask "them" if they could+would update the DNS on friday... if we also control our dns, fine. This requirements are for installation and maintainance updates, that is I want the running servers to meet those requirements to be able to update their configuration with FAI while the servers are running. So this goes for smökki and otaz. If we have different network settings in the CSD (we're afaik only laptops will be operated), that's no problem. (Then we just wont be able to install and update the laptops there...) Thanks for your efforts! Oh and btw, I guess we'll have to give up the idea, that we tell participants to bring their own APs to setup a wireless network in the dorms ? So no wlan in the dorms or will the intel APs cover that or should we bring our own ?? :) regards, Holger P.S.: if all fails, we can assign FAI classes by MAC addresses... but that's a little ugly and more work...
