For example:

cmu> autoinstall "rh5u5_autoinst" node1

or

/opt/cmu/bin/cmu_autoinstall_node -1 rh5u5_autoinst -f nodes.txtWhere nodes.txt is the list of nodes to autoinstall.4.2.6 Customization

The /opt/cmu/etc/cmuserver.conf file includes an autoinstall section with several groups of variables. A brief description follows. For a full description of the autoinstall configuration variables, see cmuserver.conf.

autoinstall	This is a “read only” section that lists the variables HP Insight CMU can substitute, if
template files	present, in autoinstall templates.
variables	For example, a Red Hat kickstart file normally has a keyword “nfs –server” followed
	by the IP address of the server exporting the Red Hat repository. When running HP
	Insight CMU autoinstall for Red Hat kickstart, replace the IP address with CMU_MGT_IP.
	HP Insight CMU makes the substitution.
	For another example, you normally specify the default gateway to configure on the
	node in the autoinstall template files. With HP Insight CMU autoinstall, you can replace
	the real IP address of the default gateway with the variable CMU_MGT_GW. HP Insight
	CMU replaces the variable. If you do not want HP Insight CMU to make the replacement,
	do not use the variable in your template. Instead, use the real value.
customized title	The variable CMU_CLUSTER_NAME can be changed to an arbitrary string (or left unset)
bars	to provide GUI and CLI title customization.
pxelinux	Variables in this section contain the HP Insight CMU default parameter list for pxelinux.
parameters	Change the pxelinux parameters by editing variables in this section.
	For example, if your compute nodes use ttyS1 as the console port for a Red Hat
	autoinstall, change the value of CMU_KS_KERNEL_PARMS by replacing “console=ttyS0”
	with “console=ttyS1”. For all subsequent creations of Red Hat autoinstall logical groups,
	ttyS1 is used as the default value for the console port instead of ttyS0. To change
	pxelinux parameters for a single compute node, edit the
	pxelinux-[compute_node_hostname]file in the autoinstall logical group directory.
	The changes are permanent because this file is not overwritten by subsequent
	autoinstalls. To change pxelinux parameters for a single autoinstall logical group, edit
	the pxelinux_template file in the autoinstall logical group directory.
timeout	Allow modification of timeout values for different phases of the autoinstall process. For
parameters	example, if disk formatting takes a long time due to large disk size, you may need to
	increase CMU_AUTOINST_INSTALL_TIMEOUT.
