Provisioning Server ideas
|
|
|
|
- bootup kernel on target host via TFTP/PXE
|
|
- start our code that
|
|
- enables networking (dhcp)
|
|
- enables sshd
|
|
|
|
Requires:
|
|
- Program that creates our blob that needs to be started
|
|
- for Linux: initrd
|
|
- Including ssh keys -> known!
|
|
- startup sshd
|
|
|
|
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
Setup for installation server:
|
|
|
|
- have dhcpd available
|
|
- install tftpd server
|
|
- configure dhcp to tell clients to boot from tftp server
|
|
- have a kernel
|
|
|
|

Ideas on how to create "blob"
|
|
|
|
- Use tools from system?
|
|
-> requires same arch on destination!
|
|
- Use debian|...| base?
|
|
-> works with cuni!
|
|
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
tftp via cuni:
|
|
debian pxelinux.0 pxelinux.cfg
|
|
|
|
[19:44] kr:tftp% ln -s /usr/lib/syslinux/
|
|
|
|
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
How to create the initrd?
|
|
Base from ...
|
|
arch?
|
|
debian?
|
|
|
|
- needs many hardware support / in kernel?
|
|
- fit to kernel?
|
|
|

Initramfs general:
|
|
|
|
- need /init
|
|
|
|
Test in Debian:
|
|
root@kr:/# ln -s /sbin/init init
|
|
|
|
Create initramfs:
|
|
[22:47] kr:debian-squeeze% sudo find . -print0 | sudo cpio --null -ov --format=newc | gzip -9 > ../pre-os/initrd.gz
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
Gentoo: http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Initramfs
|
|
|
|
It is possible to specify multiple initramfs to be extracted during boot. This can be useful if you want to create a generic initramfs (for example one that does mdadm) and then add modifications in separate files (for example a custom /etc/mdadm.conf for every machine).
|
|
|
|
http://syslinux.zytor.com/wiki/index.php/SYSLINUX#INITRD_initrd_file
|
|
It supports multiple filenames separated by commas. This is mostly useful for initramfs, which can be composed of multiple separate cpio or cpio.gz archives. Note: all files except the last one are zero-padded to a 4K page boundary. This should not affect initramfs.

Multiple initrds, #1:
|
|
|
|
LABEL preos
|
|
MENU LABEL Pre OS (Debian Squeeze)
|
|
KERNEL debian-squeeze/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-5-686
|
|
INITRD debian-squeeze/boot/initrd.img-2.6.32-5-686,pre-os/initrd.gz

Debug in rootfs:
|

Enter new UNIX password:
|

Retype new UNIX password:

passwd: password updated successfully
