[ydl-gen] headless configuration

[Wujciak, James (US SSA)]

Automagic:

If you purchased Y-HPC- "yinstaller" is used to propagate a configured
OS from the head node onto the other nodes. 

Otherwise systeminstaller (www.systeminstaller.org
<http://www.systeminstaller.org/> ) could be used, in the same way, to
install YDL from a head node to the other nodes. Either way, the
headless nodes have to be set to netboot the first time and then run off
of their hard drives.

Subject: [ydl-gen] headless configuration

 

I have a couple apple Xserves running with a 2 Ghz single G5 processor.
I've installed  YDL on one of them.  I had to install a video card in
the machine to be able to install the OS.  I am unable to set the second
machine up in a headless configuration(using a serial connection for a
console).  On the YDL webpage under platforms supported it lists Xserve
and under that there is a note that implies that to run headless, there
are 2 options Y-HPC or manual configuration.  Does anyone know what the
manual configuration steps are or where they are documented.  I've tried
quite a few different things that have been posted in the forums as well
as all over the web with no luck.  

Thanks!
Chris
