 +
 +<code>
 +What it appears you'll need to do initially is build out a chroot
 +directory. For example, for a Scientific Linux 6.x install, you'd do:
 +
 +    # wwmkchroot sl-6 /var/chroots/sl-6     (or whatever path you want
 +to store them at -- run wwmkchroot -h for the help)
 +
 +  That will give the base chroot for the VNFS at /var/chroots/sl-6.
 +You'll then set the environment variable CHROOTDIR when you execute
 +wwinit.
 +
 +    # CHROOTDIR=/var/chroots/sl-6 wwinit VNFS
 +
 +  I know when you use the 'icr' wwinit functions, it creates a base
 +chroot based upon the host OS. But none of the other wwinit scripts,
 +by default, create one; So you will need to build the chroot and
 +specify where the directory is. Then when the VNFS part of wwinit is
 +ran, it will build the VNFS and import it into the datastore at that
 +time, setting the one specified as the default VNFS in the
 +configuration.
 +</code>
  
 So we start by making the chroot directories, first we'll build a generic centos-6. Then we initialize the warewulf environment. So we start by making the chroot directories, first we'll build a generic centos-6. Then we initialize the warewulf environment.

 +
 +Next build a hybrid VNFS, this is the way to add packages to the nodes.  For example NTP.
 +
 +<code>
 +
 +cd /var/chroots/centos-6/
 +mkdir vnfs
 +
 +vi etc/fstab (inside of chroot area, edit)
 +192.168.1.217:/var/chroots/centos-6 /vnfs nfs defaults 0 0
 +
 +wwvnfs --chroot /var/chroots/centos-6 --hybridpath=/vnfs
 +Overwrite original: y
 +
 +# reboot node, observe mount, then add NTP to chgroot
 +
 +yum --tolerant --installroot /var/chroots/centos-6 -y install ntp
 +
 +vi etc/init.d/ntpd (inside of chroot, edit)
 +# chkconfig: 35 58 74
 +
 +# then make the following links in etc/rc[3|5].d/S58ntpd pointing to ../init.d/ntpd
 +
 +vi etc/ntp.conf (inside of chroot, sole contents are, IP is master on private network)
 +restrict default ignore
 +restrict 127.0.0.0
 +server 192.168.1.217
 +restrict 192.168.1.217 nomodify
 +
 +wwvnfs --chroot /var/chroots/centos-6 --hybridpath=/vnfs -y
 +VNFS 'centos-6 has been imported
 +
 +# reboot node
 +
 +</code>
 +
 +Then build the node up:
 +
 +  * use yum to install the openlava 2.2.1 RPM (pulls in tcl)
 +    * copy the openlava config files into the centos-6 are
 +  * use yum to install postfix 
 +    * add links in rc3.d and rc5.d
 +    * remove sendmail links
 +  * yum install perl
 +  * yum install munge
 +    * build RPMs from tar ball
 +  * rebuild the VNFS and reboot
 +
 +Sometimes you can edit the files in the chroot directly, sometimes you must modify the installtoot directly.  It's easiest to just do the latter all the time.
 +
 +<code>
 +
 +[root@petaltail ~]# cd /var/chroots
 +[root@petaltail chroots]# chroot centos-6
 +[root@petaltail /]# pwd                  
 +/                          <--- inside of installroot              
 +[root@petaltail /]# mkdir /var/log/munge 
 +[root@petaltail /]# chown munge:munge /var/log/munge
 +[root@petaltail /]# mkdir /var/log/slurm
 +[root@petaltail /]# chown slurm:munge /var/log/slurm
 +chown: invalid user: `slurm:munge'
 +
 +# since the passwd|shadow|group files come from database you need to create the relevant lines
 +
 +[root@petaltail /]# chown slurm:munge /var/log/slurm
 +[root@petaltail /]# exit
 +exit
 +[root@petaltail chroots]# ls
 +centos-6
 +
 +# outside edit commenting out rc.local directives making these dirs etc
 +[root@petaltail chroots]# vi centos-6/etc/rc.local
 +
 +# and don't forget
 +[root@petaltail chroots]# wwvnfs --chroot /var/chroots/centos-6 --hybridpath=/vnfs  -y
 +
 +# reboot node
 +</code>
 +
 +
 +To build short hostnames you can create a template inside of the chroot environment.
 +
 +<code>
 +
 +#--- build file CHROOT/root/wwtemplates/network.ww
 + NETWORKING=yes
 + HOSTNAME=%{NODENAME}
 +#--- end 
 +
 +# add that file (using wwsh provision) to the nodes.
 +
 +[root@]# wwsh file import /var/chroot/centos-6/root/wwtemplates/network.ww \
 + --path=/etc/sysconfig/network --name=network.ww
 +
 +[root@]# wwsh provision set n[00-15] --fileadd=network.ww
 +
 +</code>
 +
 +Second interface: create a template inside of the chroot environment.
 +
 +<code>
 +
 +wwsh node set b49 --netdev=eth1 \
 +--hwaddr=00:00:00:00:00:00 --ipaddr=10.10.1.55 \
 +--netmask=255.255.0.0  --network=255.255.0.0
 +
 +#--- build file CHROOT/root/wwtemplates/ifcfg-eth1.ww
 +DEVICE=eth1
 +BOOTPROTO=static
 +ONBOOT=yes
 +HWADDR=%{NETDEVS::ETH1::HWADDR}
 +IPADDR=%{NETDEVS::ETH1::IPADDR}
 +NETMASK=%{NETDEVS::ETH1::NETMASK}
 +NETWORK=%{NETDEVS::ETH1::NETWORK}
 +#--- end 
 +
 +# add that file (using wwsh provision) to the nodes.
 +
 +[root@]# wwsh file import /var/chroot/centos-6/root/wwtemplates/ifcfg-eth1.ww \
 + --path=/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1 --name=ifcfg-eth1.ww
 +
 +[root@]# wwsh provision set n[00-15] --fileadd=ifcfg-eth1.ww
 +
 +</code>
 +
 +Now, lets put it all together which can form the basis for a script.
 +
 +<code>
 +
 +# make sure it boots across network, alter BIOS settings
 +
 +wwsh node new b6 --netdev=eth0 \
 +--hwaddr=00:00:00:00:00:00 --ipaddr=192.168.1.12 \
 +--netmask=255.255.0.0  --network=255.255.0.0
 +--groups=wwnodes
 +
 +wwsh node set b6 --netdev=eth1 \
 +--hwaddr=00:00:00:00:00:00 --ipaddr=10.10.100.12 \
 +--netmask=255.255.0.0  --network=255.255.0.0
 +
 +wwsh provision set b6 --fileadd passwd,shadow,group
 +wwsh provision set b6 --fileadd hosts,bashrc,profile
 +wwsh provision set b6 --fileadd network.ww,ifcfg-eth1.ww

 +
