=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 do run B<mknb> to add custom utilities to your boot root image, and you have an xCAT Hierarchical Cluster with service nodes that each have a local /tftpboot directory (site sharedtftp=0), you will also need to copy the generated root image to each service node.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Presently, only the arch x86_64 is supported.
