=head1 NAME
|

|
|
|
||
|
|
B<mknb> - creates a network boot root image for node discovery and flashing
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
=head1 SYNOPSIS
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
B<mknb> I<arch>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The B<mknb> command is run by xCAT automatically, when xCAT is installed on the management node.
|
||
|
|
It creates a network boot root image (used for node discovery, BMC programming, and flashing)
|
||
|
|
for the same architecture that the management node is. So you normally do not need to run the B<mknb>
|
||
|
|
command yourself. If you have nodes of a different architecture
|
||
|
|
than the management node (e.g. ppc), you can run B<mknb> to create an additional network boot image for
|
||
|
|
that architecture.
