rinstall.8¶
Name¶
rinstall - Begin OS provision on a noderange
Synopsis¶
rinstall [-o|-*-osver*] [*-p*|*--profile*] [*-a*|*--arch*] [*-c*|*-**-console*] [noderange]
Description¶
rinstall is a convenience command that will change tables as requested for operating system version, profile, and architecture, call nodeset to modify the network boot configuration, call rsetboot net to set the next boot over network (only support nodes with “nodetype.mgt=ipmi”, for other nodes, make sure the correct boot order has been set before rinstall), and rpower to begin a boot cycle.
If [-O|–osimage] is specified or nodetype.provmethod=osimage is set, provision the noderange with the osimage specified/configured, ignore the table change options if specified.
If -c is specified, it will then run rcons on the node. This is allowed only if one node in the noderange. If need consoles on multiple nodes , see winstall(8)|winstall.8.
Options¶
-h | --help
Display usage message.
-v | --version
Display version.
-o | --osver
Specifies which os version to provision. If unspecified, the current node os setting is used. Will be ignored if [-O|–osimage] is specified or nodetype.provmethod=osimage.
-p | --profile
Specifies what profile should be used of the operating system. If not specified the current node profile setting is used. Will be ignored if [-O|–osimage] is specified or nodetype.provmethod=osimage.
-a | --arch
Specifies what architecture of the OS to provision. Typically this is unneeded, but if provisioning between x86_64 and x86 frequently, this may be a useful flag. Will be ignored if [-O|–osimage] is specified or nodetype.provmethod=osimage.
-O | --osimage
Specifies the osimage to provision.
-c | --console
Requests that rinstall runs rcons once the provision starts. This will only work if there is only one node in the noderange. See winstall(8)|winstall.8 for starting nsoles on multiple nodes.
Examples¶
rinstall node1-node20
Provison nodes 1 through 20, using their current configuration.
rinstall node1-node20 -o rhels5.1 -p compute
Provision nodes 1 through 20, forcing rhels5.1 and compute profile.
rinstall node1-node20 -O rhels6.4-ppc64-netboot-compute
Provision nodes 1 through 20 with the osimage rhels6.4-ppc64-netboot-compute.
rinstall node1 -c
Provisoon node1 and start a console to monitor the process.
