Re: [Moosefs-users] MFS Chunk DHCP

Thank you for your reply.
Now it is clear that the idea using DHCP is a bad idea.

But it is not completely clear what is "chunkserver awareness".
You write "...master server would inform about it".
Inform who ?

At this moment it is possible to assign (any) IP address to chunk server via
DHCP.

But we think about introducing "chunkserver awareness" so that the master
server remembers which chunkservers got connected to it and in case any of
them gets disconnected, the master server would inform about it. 
Then, we would need to know IP addresses of the chunkservers and the IP
addresses should not be changed when chunkserver is restarted. In such a
case you could configure DHCP that it gives the same IP address to the
machine based on its MAC address.

If you need any further assistance please let us know.

Subject: [Moosefs-users] MFS Chunk DHCP

I wonder if it is possible to assign IP address to
chunk servers via DHCP ?
Will it be in result of data loss while chunk servers
at next boot gets a different address ?
