winstall.8¶

Name¶

winstall - Begin OS provision on a noderange

Synopsis¶

winstall [-o|-*-osver*] [*-p*|*--profile*] [*-a*|*-**-arch*] [noderange]

winstall [-O|-***-osimage*] [noderange]

Description¶

winstall is a convenience tool that will change attributes 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 winstall), 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.

It will then run wcons on the nodes.

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.

Examples¶

winstall node1-node20

Provison nodes 1 through 20, using their current configuration.

winstall node1-node20 -o rhels5.1 -p compute

Provision nodes 1 through 20, forcing rhels5.1 and compute profile.

winstall node1-node20 -O rhels6.4-ppc64-netboot-compute

Provision nodes 1 through 20 with the osimage rhels6.4-ppc64-netboot-compute.
