==========
|
|
|
|
Linux systems are generally deployed using PXE and Kickstart. We use iPXE, which
|
|
can retrieve its configuration via HTTP(S) and therefore gives us a lot of
|
|
flexibility, because the iPXE configuration can be generated on the fly with the
|
|
specific settings needed by the booting client. In the same way the Kickstart
|
|
configuration for the RHEL installer is auto-generated.
|
|
|
|
The information used for generating the iPXE and Kickstart configurations is
|
|
stored in the sysdb (see below). The sysdb is accessible through a web api, and
|
|
a command line client is available.
|
|
|
|
When PXE boot is not an option, e.g. in restricted networks, it is possible to
|
|
start iPXE from a USB stick or other media.
