Delayed boot of nodes - possible?

[Crispin Proctor]

I have the ClusterCTRL stack (the big one with 5 x big-boy PIs)

One of them is a storage device and the other 4 mount this device. I would like P1 to boot first and P2-5 to wait 10 or 20 seconds before they get a signal to boot. 

Is this possible?

Hi,

If you're using the auto power on from the ClusterCTRL Stack itself then you'd need to change the firmware (old post on that here https://groups.google.com/g/clusterhat/c/6Jue4tsKnQg/m/POgiIiSEBQAJ ).

Or if you've disabled the auto start from the ClusterCTRL Stack t you could add a crontab to start the other nodes ( https://groups.google.com/g/clusterhat/c/PZq3_jGdJ_s/m/ksNKYy7EAAAJ ).
