[AusNOG] PXE boot with custom on the fly builds

[Peter Childs]

PXE + RedHat Kickstart scripts + cfengine in a prior life... when you have large qtys of boxes and need reproducible builds from bare metal in reasonable periods of time

That was several years ago so another configuration management tool/tools may now exist (puppy?)

Hi Noggers,

Even though this isn't exactly a network related question, I was wondering...

Have any of you had experience with using PXE to image linux and or windows servers on the fly but also including parameters like root / admin password + trigger latest updates + IP assignment ?

I am thinking of setting up another little lab to try and test out doing a PXE imaging environment for bettering the deployment of servers and what not.

Just want to know some "best practice" stuff with it.


Cheers!
