1. Repeatedly press "s" when powering on the QS2x or PXCAB.
   
   
2. To conduct a Kickstart installation:

   boot net ks=[http://[url]/kickstart.cfg [ENTER]

	install 
	url --url http://192.168.100.1/ydl6installer 
	lang en_US.UTF-8 
	network --device eth0 --bootproto dhcp --hostname qs21 a
 	rootpw --iscrypted $1$xuUUbIfg$TbI79vvXXfpkAC3FmaeYZ/ 
	firewall --enabled –port=22:tcp 
	authconfig --enableshadow –enablemd5 
	selinux –disabled 
	timezone --utc America/New_York 
	bootloader –location=none 
	nfsroot --server 192.168.100.1 --path /srv/nfsroot/ 
	%packages 
	@editors 
	@text-internet 
	@core 
	@base 
	@development-libs 
	@development-tools
	

service xinetd restart [ENTER]

1. On the installed blade, edit /etc/fstab to point to the new location and then create a new boot image:

   mknfszimage [ENTER]

2. A file will be placed within the /{MAC ADDRESS}/boot directory within the specified NFS path of the new YDL installation on the Server. For example, if the NFS directory was /srv/nfsroot, the file will be placed in /srv/nfsroot/{MAC ADDRESS}/boot. The file will be named "$hostname-nfsroot-$uname.img" where $hostname is the manually configured hostname of the QS2x/PXCAB and $uname is the kernel version.
   
   Copy this file to the /tftpboot directory. The file may need to be renamed to match the image name configured on your DHCPD server during the DHCPD Server Setup. For example, it may need to be renamed {HOSTNAME}.img if this is what you set the "filename" to in the dhcpd.conf file.
   
   
3. Restart XINETD:

   service xinetd restart [ENTER]

1. To specify a root-path, edit /etc/dhcpd.conf on the Server and add a root-path option:

      host qs21a { 
       hardware ethernet	00:04:ac:00:00:aa; 
       filename		"qs21a.img"; 
       fixed-address	192.168.100.100; 
       option root-path	"192.168.100.1:/srv/nfsroots/00:04:AC:00:00:AA”
      } 
   

2. Restart DHCPD:

   service dhcpd restart [ENTER]

3. Reboot the blade in order to use the new root-path.

1. Once the first installation is complete, copy the installation for other QS2x's or PXCAB's:
   

   cp [/path/to/AA:BB:CC:00:00:AA] [/path/to/AA:BB:CC:00:00:BB] [ENTER]

   ... where AA:BB:CC:00:00:AA is the existing installation/MAC address of the first blade, and AA:BB:CC:00:00:BB is the new installation/MAC address of the second blade.
   
   
2. Edit [/path/to/AA:BB:CC:00:00:BB/]etc/fstab to point to /path/to/AA:BB:CC:00:00:BB instead of /path/to/AA:BB:CC:00:00:AA
   
   
3. Edit [/path/to/AA:BB:CC:00:00:BB/]etc/sysconfig/network to specify the correct hostname and [/path/to/AA:BB:CC:00:00:BB/]etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 and ifcfg-eth1 to specify the correct the Ethernet MAC addresses for the new blade.
   
   
4. Follow the steps in the Installation section to configure net booting for the new blade.
