MAC Based booting

Installing with PXE and FAI MAC Address based.

With this hooks and some small changes in dhcpd.conf (based on FAI-CD) every computer that boots fai gets a MAC based config file installed in the pxelinux.cfg/ dir. May be in the future a GUI can use/change this information.

File dhcpd.conf

....
# deny unknown-clients
....
subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0
{
  range 192.168.1.200 192.168.1.249;
  ....

If you press <shift> key during pxe booting you can get a prompt.

Possible commands are:

mkboot HOST=local  
mkboot HOST=remove 
.....
mkboot HOST=demohost
.....

Hook mkboot

#! /bin/bash 
# hook mkboot for fai.
# If you start this script on a fai client it copy, create or delete a pxe bootfile. It use the ethernet mac
# address of the fai client. 

cd /tmp 
TFTPCONFDIR="/boot/fai/pxelinux.cfg"
SSHUSER=fai
TFTPSERVER=faiserver

HOSTNAME="default"
if [ "$HOST" != "" ]; then HOSTNAME=$HOST; fi ;
BOOTMAC=`/sbin/ifconfig "$netdevices_up" |grep HWaddr|cut -d " " -f11|tr ':' '-'|tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]'`
BOOTMAC="01-"$BOOTMAC
echo Next Boot will boot or install: $HOSTNAME on $BOOTMAC.
echo "!!! OK - Press ctrl-c to interrupt FAI and to get a shell"

case $HOSTNAME in
    disable)
        ssh $SSHUSER@$TFTPSERVER "mv $TFTPCONFDIR/$BOOTMAC $TFTPCONFDIR/$BOOTMAC\.disable" ;;

        ssh $SSHUSER@$TFTPSERVER "mv $TFTPCONFDIR/$BOOTMAC $TFTPCONFDIR/$BOOTMAC\.disable ; cp $TFTPCONFDIR/local $TFTPCONFDIR/$BOOTMAC " ;;

    remove)
        ssh $SSHUSER@$TFTPSERVER "rm $TFTPCONFDIR/$BOOTMAC" ;;
    *)
        ssh $SSHUSER@$TFTPSERVER "cp $TFTPCONFDIR/$HOSTNAME $TFTPCONFDIR/$BOOTMAC" ;;
