FlexBoot linux IBoIP

Dear community.

Trying to figure out how to use FlexBoot for our IB only server nodes.

Reading the documents

http://www.mellanox.com/related-docs/prod_software/Mellanox_PXE_User_Guide.pdf

http://www.mellanox.com/related-docs/prod_software/FlexBoot_User_Manual_v1.4.pdf

and using the download area

Mellanox Products: Mellanox FlexBoot

 

So basically I find for download: customized versions of initrd  and vmlinuz  to be used in the PXE server

to netboot the nodes to be installed.

RHEL 5.6 and Centos 5.6 are the latest versions to be downloaded.

 

Question: What do I have to do in order to remote install a later version like RH/Centos 6.4 or 6.5 ?

1) are there any plans to produce newer version of initrd and vmlinuz for these later version

2) is it possible to modify the initrd  following the 7.1.1 example adding IB driver to initrd (linux)in the document FlexBoot_User_Manual, but if so, what needs to be done with the vmlinuz file?


Regards, Ingvar
