Clients with different disk layouts

[Samuel Vange]

Platform: SIMP 5.2.0-0 on RedHat

I'd like to spin up some (selected) clients with different disk configurations. Currently, on clients, /opt does not have its own logical volume mounted. I'd like to (ideally) have /dev/sdb configured in its own volume group and have VolGroup01-OptVol  consume all of /dev/sdb, and mounted on /opt, upon building the clients. I've looked at the diskbuild.sh script provided. Can different scripts be served to different clients (based on FQDN or some other variable)? If so, how?

Thank you!

Hey,

You certainly can serve up different scripts.  Best way I can think of is to delineate machines based on MAC.  Using puppet:

tftpboot::linux_model { 'some_profile':

  kernel => foo

  initrd => bar

  ks => /path/to/ks/for/some_profile

  ...

}

tftpboot::linux_model {'some_other_profile':

  kernel => foo

  initrd => bar

  ks => /path/to/ks/for/some_other_profile

  ...

}

::tftpboot::assign_host { 'default': model => 'some_profile' }

::tftpboot::assign_host { 'DE:AD:BE:EF:00:01': model => 'some_other_profile' }

In the some_other_profile ks file, you can reference a re-created diskdetect to do what you need.

Hope that helps!

This is perfect! This is exactly what I'm looking for. Thank you!
