(hatestlab1) - DHCP seems to be all managed by CST; only one example at
atedf3: /etc/dhcpd.conf~
- Install nfs-utils, tftp-server, syslinux-tftpboot, syslinux
- Download
centos7_dist
androot, tftp
tgz files to the data disk for both VME and VTP - VME boot set up
- 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
- 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.
- Modify the configuration file
- 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 ubootenv.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
- Enable and start the NFS server and TFTP server
- Boot the VME/VTP
- First login: set up
daq
