HP Insight Cluster Management Utility - Manual (Page 46)

NOTE: Autoinstall files and pxelinux files are created only if they do not already exist. This
enables parameters to be customized for a node or group of nodes. For example, if you modified
pxelinux-node1
, successive launches of autoinstall will not modify your settings in that file.
After creating the files previously described, HP Insight CMU network boots the requested compute
node(s) and autoinstall functions as a normal Red Hat kickstart, SLES autoyast, or Debian preseed
operation. During the operation, the autoinstall log is displayed on an X Window.
