Server

  • Name: hatestlab1.jlab.org (procured on 2024 April)
  • Roles:
  1. The DHCP server for all the single board computers (SBCs)
  2. The TFTP server for SBCs
  3. The NFS server for computers under same LAN
  1. Install DHCP and Configure DHCP with two parameters:
    • next-server IP --- IP address of the TFTP server to boot from
    • filename --- path to boot file relative to TFTP root directory
      Suggested parameters:
      filename "pxelinux.0";
      next-server 129.57.xxx.xxx; (hatestlab1)
    • DHCP seems to be all managed by CST; only one example at atedf3: /etc/dhcpd.conf~
  2. Install nfs-utils, tftp-server, syslinux-tftpboot, syslinux
  3. Download centos7_dist and root, tftp tgz files to the data disk for both VME and VTP
  4. VME boot set up
    1. Modify the configuration file centos7_dist/walkthrough_example.cfg
      • NFS path should be under /data. ---- this is where the centos7 x86_64 filesystem will be unpacked
    2. Run the installation under centos7_dist/:
      • ./diskless_ROOTOS.sh walkthrough_example.cfg
        This one generates a number of config files for the client OS and provides the installation commands to be run in sequence using sudo or as the root user.
      • ./diskless_NFSexports.sh walkthrough_example.cfg
        This script generates the exports files needed for NFS.
      • ./diskless_PXE-TFTP.sh walkthrough_example.cfg
        This script generates the configuration and installation commands for PXE and TFTP.
  5. VTP boot set up
    • The configuration file is similar to VME boot set up, mostly swapping x86_64 with armv7.
    • ./diskless_UBOOT.sh walkthrough_vtp_example.cfg
      This script generates the uboot env.bin that needs to be loaded onto the microSD used by the VTP
    • Copy the resulting file output/env.bin to the VTPs microSD FAT partition.
    • VTP modules we received usually have SD card that is already set up
  6. Enable and start the NFS server and TFTP server
  7. Boot the VME/VTP
    • First login: set up daq account
