autoinst_windows.templ
The template autoinst_windows.templ is delivered with the rpm
cmu-windows-moonshot-addon-7.2.1-1.noarch
. This rpm is available on the HP
Insight CMU CD. This template is supported on specific Moonshot cartridges only.
In the templates provided by HP Insight CMU, special CMU keywords are automatically substituted
by the autoinstall process. All HP Insight CMU keywords begin with CMU_. HP Insight CMU locates
the correct values for these variables and makes the substitutions.
The following example is from the autoinst_rh6.templ template:
nfs --server=CMU_MGT_IP --dir=CMU_REPOSITORY_PATH
will be substituted as:
nfs --server=10.0.0.1 --dir=/data/repositories/rh6u4_x86_64
In the example above, HP Insight CMU retrieves the IP address of the management node to substitute
for CMU_MGT_IP. CMU_REPOSITORY_PATH is replaced with the value provided when the autoinstall
logical group is created.
Some keywords are customizable. For details, see the autoinstall section of /opt/cmu/etc/
cmuserver.conf
.
In addition, any customer provided template file is supported, provided that:
•
It is compatible with the software release being autoinstalled.
•
The NFS server and repository information is correctly configured.
5.2.3 Autoinstall calling methods
Autoinstall commands for creating an autoinstall logical group and autoinstalling a compute node
are available from the GUI window and from the CLI interface. You can choose to autoinstall any
number of nodes registered in HP Insight CMU.
The number of nodes that can be autoinstalled simultaneously is determined by the variable
CMU_AUTOINST_PIPELINE_SIZE
in /opt/cmu/etc/cmuserver.conf. The default value is
16. However, this value can be modified by the user.
5.2.4 Using autoinstall from GUI
