Re: [xcat-user] xCAT post install Configurations

That's what postscripts are for... post installation customization of
"stuff". Take a look at "hardeths" in /install/postscripts. You should be
able to extend that to add a GATEWAY=.

Hi All,





Context: xCAT v2.5.1;





I have installed RHEL5 compute nodes using xCAT. Installation went through
fine. Also I can SSH to the compute nodes from the management nodes.





Here is my difficulty for which I need your help!





Q1. How to assign default gateway to the installed compute nodes? As of now
they point to the management node, which I don’t want it to be.





Q2. All of the computed nodes are installed off the NIC eth1, and the NIC
eth0 is designated for public access. How do I setup my installation xCAT
tables and/or Kickstart files to configure NIC eth0 to get a public IP from
our public dhcp server(not the Management sever, which only provides
private ip for compute nodes.).





Q3. If I were to configure other applications or files on the installed
compute node, what is the best way to do that using xCAT.





Please advise!





Thank you,


Amit
