hardware group (Kurt)

• Order servers (keeps stock)
• Add ILO network interface to packet-fence (default role: office network)
• Add ILO hostname if provided in advance, otherwise controls needs to take care
• Keeps inventory up to date
• Sometimes equips with empty usb stick
• Install (power and network)

controls

• Update boot parameters to boot from usb
• Add network interface to boot from (e.g. eth0) to packet-fence
• Set role in packet-fence for ILO and boot network interfaces
• Prepare usb stick
• Add host to warewulf config nodes.conf
• Add host startup cfg
• Configure IOC's (e.g. shellbox)

prepare boot usb stick

# copy EFI folder to usb stick
cp -r /afs/psi.ch/group/8211/anicic/iPXE/warewulf-ipxe/USBstick/EFI  /path/to/your/usbstick

add server to warewulf nodes.conf

Add server to warewulf config (easiest to edit directly in gitlab page): https://git.psi.ch/controls-ci/warewulf-node-config/-/blob/master/nodes.conf

NOTE: The simplest is to copy another host and update the needed data.

NOTE: Always specify the MAC with lower case letters.

NOTE: Configure only the boot network interface in nodes.conf. EtherCAT interfaces are configured in ETHERCATDRVR (see README.md)

WARNING: No tabs are allowed, make sure the indention is made with spaces.

After the file has been updated, make sure that the pipelines passes: https://git.psi.ch/controls-ci/warewulf-node-config/-/pipelines
