v90 v91 234 234 235 235 If you've modified the baseline, or even installed your own OS on a node, you can take a snapshot of the node's disk. The resulting image can be used on other nodes during your experiment and reused during other slots. To save a node's disk as an image issue the following command on the experiment console (**NOT THE NODE'S SERIAL CONSOLE**): 236 {{{ 237 238 }}} 236 237 * user@console.domain: omf save -n nodeX-Y.domain 238 239 239 240 240 where X and Y are the node's coordinates. The image will be named in the form username-node-fqdn-date.ndz and will be displayed in a status message during the save process. Please keep track of the image name as you will need to supply it during imaging. 241 241 242 242 ORBIT keeps your images on the machine named repository1 in the /export/omf/omf-images directory. They are considered temporary images unless you claim them by moving them to image repository with: 243 {{{ 244 mv username-node-fqdn-date.ndz ../your-active-image-name.ndz245 }}} 243 244 * mv username-node-fqdn-date.ndz ../your-active-image-name.ndz 245 246 246 247 247 Please bear in mind that the ORBIT software components (i.e. nodehandler/nodeagent, libmac, otr/otg, oml, and wireless drivers) are under constant development. The baseline image is continually updated with the latest stable releases of these components. If you are going to use your own derivative of the baseline and you use these components, may need to update these packages manually. Please watch the orbit-user mail list for development related news. … … 252 252 253 253 You can image the nodes you need with your image using the following command from the "console" machine 254 {{{ 255 user@console.domain: omf load -t topology -i imagename.ndz 256 }}} 254 255 * user@console.domain: omf load -t topology -i imagename.ndz 257 256 258 257 Loading images is covered the the tutorial on node images located ...
