=head1 Name B<rinstall> - Begin installation on a noderange =head1 B<Synopsis> B<rinstall> [I<-o>|I<--osver>] [I<-p>|I<--profile>] [I<-a>|I<--arch>] [I<-c>|I<--console>] [I<noderange>] =head1 B<Description> B<rinstall> is a convience command that will change tables as requested for operating system version, profile, and architecture, call nodeset to modify the network boot configuration, and rpower to begin a boot cycle. If -c is specified, it will then become the text console of the node. If wanting consoles on multiple nodes with a similar command, see L<winstall(8)|winstall.8>. =head1 B<Options> =over 7 =item B<-o>|B<--osver> Specifies which os version to install. If unspecified, the current table values are used. =item B<-p>|B<--profile> Specifies what profile should be used of the operating system. If not specified the tables are used as is. =item B<-a>|B<--arch> Specifies what architecture of the OS to install. Typically this is unneeded, but if provisioning betweer x86_64 and x86 frequently, this may be a useful flag. =item B<-c>|B<--console> Requests that rinstall become rcons once the install commences. This will only work if there is only one node in the noderange. See L<winstall(8)|winstall.8> for consoles on multiple systems. =back =head1 B<Examples> B<rinstall> I<node1-node20> Install nodes 1 through 20, using configuration as is from tables. B<rinstall> -o rhels5.1 -p compute I<node1-node20> Install nodes 1 through 20, forcing rhels5.1 and compute profile. B<rinstall> -c I<node1> Install node1 and start a console to monitor the process =head1 B<Author> Jarrod B Johnson <jbjohnso@us.ibm.com> =head1 B<See> B<Also> L<noderange(3)|noderange.3>, L<winstall(8)|winstall.8>, L<rcons(1)|rcons.1>
