You will need to consider OOB access to the servers via serial console, or perhaps iLo2 / DRAC (HP and Dell); having a way to remotely powercycle the boxes is also a pretty neat feature, so APC Masterswitch PDUs, or iLo2 / DRAC? Next step is to setup DHCP as your boxes need to grab a valid lease; their BIOSes need to be configure to boot off the network interface, then you can get a PXE menu built. You'll login via the serial console, or iLo2/DRAC to 'interface' with the network boot environment :) Go read, there's plenty about all this on the web. -- gentoo-cluster@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
