Hello all, I have a customer that insists of using upstream vendor's diskless (system-config-netboot) rather than LTSP. The reason is that he wants to use a 100% packages from the vendor, not from LTSP or any other party. I try the vendor's diskless system, and although it's very simple to setup, it lacks the support and/or documentation whereas LTSP is very good in it. Another

Hello all, I have observed a problem with a diskless PXE client I am attempting to configure. PXE/NFS/DHCP/TFTPd server is running CentOS5.1 and the Diskless workstation's root and kernel was extracted from a CentOS5.1 (custom kernel due to setting to enable Root File System support). Problem: When the diskless client boots and logs in I notice that my root user is being squashed, even if I

Apologies to the OP and all, I got my wires crossed and replied in the wrong thread.

Hello. We are using pxelinux for years to boot Linux via PXE since years. Since EFI is spreading, I changed configuration to be able to boot EFI systems.

Hi, I am working on the diskless booting over Infiniband networks. At the moment we have created and implemented architecture which allow diskless booting of Linux nodes on x86, x86_64 and Itanium platforms. The system works by booting first small custom made Linux kernel of the Infiniband adapter ROM. The kernel has enough of infiniband stack to setup TCP/IP networking over infiniband. Then it

Hi folks, I've followed a set of instructions I found on http://www.linuxtopia.org/online_books/centos_linux_guides/centos_enterprise_linux_sysadmin_guide/ch-diskless.htmli which describes using system-config-netboot to set up PXE booting. I used a CentOS-4.3 install (custom, all options de-selected, then anaconda-busybox installed after the fact) as a reference/base. I followed the

Hi We like to build Diskless clusters. Where should we go to know how to build Diskless X server running in Centos6.2? Y.Nishimura

I'm trying to boot RedHat 9.0 on a diskless PC from a head machine running Redhat 9.0. The network appears to be setup correctly. I can boot the installation disk image fine using pxelinux. What I am trying to setup is a number of different Linux systems each with its own root directory on the head machine. I am hoping that I don't have to modify the kernel for any of these systems.

Im trying to get a diskless boot set up under CentOS 5.2, and having no luck at all. I am to the point of running system-config-netboot, and whatever information I put in, I get an error message. Responding to the 2nd button on the first popup, which asks for NFS info, I put in the IP address of the current machine (the machine that will hold the boot images for the diskless machine) and the

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi guys, Someone on the list today was asking about diskless clients. I have a guide written for doing diskless clients across NFS and PXE. I noticed there was nothing existing on the wiki for such a thing. I wanted to ask before I created the main category "Diskless Clients" under the How To page. Any objections to that there? Or suggest

Using Centos 5.2 upgraded from 5.0 using yum on a couple of old Dells in a lab environment. I don't think hardware is part of the problem, just need configuration help. 1: I can boot the diskless client and it come up, but when I do a "mount" command on the client, the output is indistinguishable from the output of the mount command on the server. Currently the fstab in

Hi. I wanted to set diskless win95 but I read the list archives and I decided not to do it diskless. So I tried diskless windows but I got a problem. I do this. 1.- I did booting images with bootware proms. 2.- I managed to install DOS clients from microsoft. That was painfull because the one I downloaded from MS didn't connected to my samba server. I used a dos clients that creates a NT

Does anyone have any good how-to's or documentation on setting up read only root NFS for pxe booting diskless computers? A few months ago I stumbled upon an official Redhat doc through a google search(not hosted by redhat and I cannot find it anywhere on the Redhat site) written by Dave Kline named "Configuring diskless clients with Red Hat Enterprise Linux" from 2011. It seemed to

Hi all, Sorry, this might be a bit off topic, but I'm not sure of the best place to ask. I'm booting a diskless PC with PXELinux, and the kernel loads successfully and I can log in and use the system as you'd expect. I have done this before, however this time I decided to try using ClusterNFS so that the diskless clients can share the boot server's filesystem. Unfortunately

Hello everyone, I have a problem with setting up a diskless system on CentOS. Currently I have successfully set up a small cluster of diskless clients following the following available HowTos: http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/DisklessClients https://coda.jlab.org/wiki/index.php/CentOS6_Linux_Diskless_Setup The client system is CentOS 5.10 and the system is read-only. It has been working fine for a

Hi all! We have just released new updates for the yum channel of the open-sharedroot software for CentOS4 and CentOS5. With the open-sharedroot software package, you can build up a NFS or GFS based diskless sharedroot cluster with CentOS4 and CentOS5. It also contains a toolset to clone or backup entire diskless sharedroot clusters. Open Sharedroot homepage: http://open-sharedroot.org/
