HP Insight Cluster Management Utility - Manual (Page 117)

-n <nodename>
The hostname of the target node to boot.
-i <IP address>
The IP address of the target node to boot.
-m <MAC address>
The MAC address of the target node to boot.
-e <eth device>
The active Ethernet device of the target node to boot.
The boot_node program is typically a subset of the configure_node program, and ensures
that the given node is ready to be PXE-booted. It may call
/opt/cmu/tools/cmu_add_node_to_dhcp
again, and may check that the correct PXE-boot
file is in place for the given node.
7.2.6 Diskless check
The diskless_check program is called before the configure_node, unconfigure_node,
or boot_node programs are called. This program is called with the following arguments:
-l <CMU diskless logical group name>
The name of the diskless logical group.
The diskless_check program is intended to contain any sanity checks that should be performed
before the configure_node, unconfigure_node, or boot_node programs are called. It can
also be called directly by the build_image program, to ensure that any prerequisites are met
before the diskless image is created. For example, the system-config-netboot implementation
requires that the system-config-netboot rpm provided by HP Insight CMU be installed on
the HP Insight CMU management server. A check for the existence of this rpm is performed by the
cmu_system-config-netboot_diskless_check
program.
After these programs are created, tested, and installed in the /opt/cmu/
diskless/
<DISKLESS>/ directory, then you are ready to add this implementation "toolkit"
to HP Insight CMU. To do this, add the <DISKLESS> implementation type to the
CMU_VALID_DISKLESS_TOOLKITS
variable in /opt/cmu/etc/cmuserver.conf.
NOTE: If more than one valid diskless type will be available in HP Insight CMU, this variable
must be comma-separated.
7.3 HP Insight CMU remote hardware control API
As of version 5.0, HP Insight CMU supports a remote hardware control API. This hardware API
makes it possible to integrate HP Insight CMU power and UID control with any computer that has
remote power control capability. The /opt/cmu/bin/cmu_power command interacts with this
API to provide remote power and UID control for HP Insight CMU.
As of CMU v7.1 the existing hardware APIs are:
ILO
The most common method of interacting with HP BL/DL/SL servers.
lo100i
The legacy method of interacting with low-end HP servers.
None
The fallback method of interacting with workstations and other servers that do not provide
remote power control.
IPMI
The industry standard method, useful with non-HP (or non-iLO HP) hardware.
