Revision as of 01:04, 27 October 2007

The following Variables do exist in FAI (example values included):

Please do not edit that much, without contacting Mrfai. Currently it's my private list of variable and comments.

type: int = internal use only; CS used in config space (often defined by *.var)

Which variables are needed inside the nfsroot, so the install clients can use them? (maybe write them into fai-client.var or nfsroot.var). Then do not copy fai.conf into the nfsroot any more.

name type example value created by used by comments
BROADCAST 192.168.0.127 get-boot-info scripts/FAIBASE/30-interface

FAI_LOCATION faiserver:/srv/fai/config make-fai-nfsroot get_bootp_info() get_fai_dir() get_fai_cvs() replaced by FAI_CONFIG_SRC
FAI_LOGPROTO ftp fai.conf fai-setup, save_log_remote() replaces FAI_REMOVECP and FAI_REMOTESH, may be removed from fai.conf, should be defined in class/*.var, but fai-setup needs this too, maybe add option to fai-setup that determines if ssh/rsh should be set up
FAI_ROOT const /target bin/fai almost every script $target has the same value
fai_rundate int 20060123_163824 task_setup() fai-savelog

FAI_CONFIGDIR int /srv/fai/config fai.conf *.postinst, fai-setup, fai-cd, fai-mirror, make-fai-nfsroot
HOSTNAME demohost very often may the hostname change during installtion? Is the hostname FQDN in some cases? numeric hostname if host-decl-name off in dhcpd.conf
HOSTTYPE int x86_64 bash variable prcopyleft
FAI_ALLOW_UNSIGNED *.var prepareapt allow installation of packages from unsigned repositories
LOGDIR /tmp/fai fai very often

LOGUSER fai fai.conf fai-setup, fai-savelog, fai-savelog-ftp,task_chboot() default: LOGUSER= will disable logging
MNTPOINT /media/mirror make-fai-nfsroot, fai-mirror, task_mirror() influences entries in sources.list, may become a fixed path

nfsroot int /srv/fai/nfsroot/ fai-chboot via kernel append parameter kernel may contain server's IP address, may contain nfs parameters like: v2,rsize=32768,wsize=32768
renewclass int boolean task_defclass() on softupdate recalculate the list of classes, unset after use
romountopt int -o async,noatime,ro unset after use
sndhostname task_confdir() sndmon() sndhostname=$HOSTNAME; client's hostname, do not replace with $HOSTNAME, since HOSTNAME may change during installation
