Network configuration

Head nodes works as NAT for slave nodes

eth0 connects to outside world eth1 is internal

Internal network is 10.0.200.0/255.0.0.0

OS installation

Normal server Linux install with the following packages:

  • ssh server
  • tftpd-hpa
  • dhcp3-server
  • nfs-kernel-server
  • debootstrap

Grab pxelinux from the web

Netbooting

Setting up dhcp

Edit /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf as follows:

dhcpd.conf - note comma between dns servers

Edit /etc/default/dhcp3-server

INTERFACES=eth1

This will avoid dhcp serving on the outside network!

service dhcp3-server start


Setting up tftp

Edit /etc/default/tftpd-hpa

RUN_DAEMON="yes" #had problems with inetd in the past
OPTIONS="-l -a 10.0.200.1 -s /var/lib/tftpboot"


Setting up nfs

Testing

Scheduler installation
