Automated cluster installs...

[Carlos O'Donell <carlos@baldric.uwo.ca>]

d-beowulf,

Out of curiosity, what install methodology have people
employed in the field?

I have a smalish, 50 node PARISC cluster and we wrote
our own tools for doing dead-simple automated installs
( nfs install root, unpacks root-fs tarball onto disk ).

Are people using FAI?
Are you dd'ing disks?
Manually installing all the nodes?

I can elaborate more on our install methods if people
really want to hear a quick-n-dirty install method.

c.
