Hi Everybody.<br>This is my first mail to fai mailing list.<br>I want to setup a cluster using FAI. <br><ul><li>I have install debian (squeeze) on master node and same on a slave node.</li><li> We have a local debian repository using loop-mounted debian images on another machine. Lets name it as deb_repo_machine. <br>
</li><li>The master node is directly connected using ethernet card to deb_repo_machine (master ip : 196.20.1.12, deb_repo_machine ip = 196.20.1.3). <br></li><li>The master has infiniband network and is connected to another 16 slave machines using infiniband network. <br>
</li><li>I have configured the slave node 1 (master infiniband ip : 196.168.1.1 slave_1 infiniband ip : 196.168.1.2) such as it can directly ping and update from deb_repo_machine. <br></li><li>Master's home is nfs mounted as home on slave-1. <br>
</li><li>NIS server is established on master for user accounts and groups. </li></ul>I want to use FAI so that I can replicate the configuration of slave-1 on each other slave nodes (15 more on number, total 16 slave nodes I have). I want to use the same sources.list file that is available in salve-1 (which is basically same as master's sources.list). <br>
I have installed fai-server, fai-doc . I am unable to understand the fai guide available in debian repo. What to do next.<br>Kindly guide me. <br><br>-- <br>Alind Sharma<br>Scientist 'C'<br>CAIR,DRDO.<br>
