clusterctl boot set

Set the boot configuration of a node set

Synopsis

Point the PXE service at a boot configuration for each node.

Without a path, the boot path rules of the cluster decide, which is what makes a reinstall a one-liner. A node matched by two rules is an error rather than a silent first match. A rule marked static writes a persistent link, as –persistent does; both need services.pxesrv.staticSuffix.

Before it asks, the command resolves every address, checks that each boot path exists on the PXE host, and refuses a one-shot path for a node that has a persistent one. The question lists each boot path with its nodes.

Every node is tried, and each one’s result is listed; a node that failed or was not reported fails the command.

clusterctl boot set -n exe[1-4] clusterctl boot set -n exe0001 /srv/pxesrv/boot/cluster/1.0/exe/ipxe.net2

  -h, --help         help for set
      --persistent   keep the boot path after the first request (needs services.pxesrv.staticSuffix)

Options inherited from parent commands

      --config strings      configuration file or directory to read, repeatable (default: CLUSTERCTL_CONFIG or the search path)

      --dry-run             report what would be done and change nothing
      --fanout int          how many hosts to work on at once, at least 1 (default: from the configuration)
      --force               allow protected hosts, and nodes the inventory does not know, to be touched
  -n, --nodes stringArray   node set to act on, for example 'exe[1-10],@rack:R02' (default: CLUSTERCTL_NODES)
  -o, --output string       output format: table, wide, json, yaml, nodeset, name, jsonpath=, jq= (default "table")
      --set stringArray     override one configuration value as PATH=VALUE, repeatable
  -y, --yes                 answer the confirmation prompts with yes
