| 13:15 Winkie | hello Mrfai, if you remember a while ago you sent me a copy of an existing patch against fai-chboot or similar to support mac addresses. Do you still have that patch / what is your email address so i can search my offensively large collection of emails? |

| 14:31 Joelio | Hi all, I'm thinking of using fai within a KVM virtual machine |
| 14:31 Joelio | do people here use it that way at all? |
| 14:31 Joelio | I take it dhcp/tftp will pass over the virtual bridge? |
| 14:33 sts | Winkie: it's on the FAI homepage: http://www.informatik.uni-koeln.de/fai/contact/ |
| 14:34 Winkie | sts: it's ok thanks, Mrfai sent me a PM :) |
| 14:35 sts | Joelio: bridges are usually layer 2 devices, which don't limit broadcast domains. |
| 14:35 sts | Joelio: so as long as you didn't firewall anything it should work. |
| 14:36 Joelio | cool, it's still hypothetical at the moment. I've been designing an automated install and central config management solution using FAI/Chef/GIt etc.. |
| 14:37 Joelio | I've got all of the other services in a ganeti KVM cluster, which works great |
| 14:37 sts | Joelio: nice. blog about it. :-) |
| 14:37 Joelio | FAI would be the last part to move into ganeti |
| 14:37 Joelio | yea, will do!! |
| 14:37 Joelio | I've got swathes of docs for $WORK, so will be easy to blog it :) |
| 14:42 Mrfai | Using FAI for virtual machine can be done in two ways. First, you are booting (PXE) an virtual host with an empty hard disk and run FAI the usual way. |
| 14:43 Mrfai | The second method is to setup a chroot environment (using fai dirinstall), then boot the virual machine using this chroot a the file system |
| 14:43 Winkie | the only issues i had with FAI in virtual machines was using OpenVZ and getting the device to pass DHCP etc. I suspect this was a configuration issue though. |
| 14:44 Winkie | but that was the server running inside one, which is probably not recommended :) |
| 14:44 Joelio | Mrfai: Yes, I saw some docs that Henning wrote on Ganeti with FAI using dirinstall |
| 14:46 Joelio | Cool, well I'll get this blogged up.. it's a culmination of about 6 month work, with a lot of help from the community, pretty happy with it! |
| 14:46 Winkie | i wish i could devote that amount of time to a particular project :( |
| 15:02 Joelio | Winkie: This has been at the same time as doing my regular sysadmin work.. and a lot of late nights! :) |
| 15:05 Winkie | Joelio: haha i can imagine, our deployment system is quite hacked together and using git is probably a better way to go for some aspects |
| 15:08 Joelio | All good though, it's been an invaluable learning experience that's forced us to think about our systems and processes |
| 15:08 Joelio | Just be happy when it's over, haha |
| 15:19 Winkie | haha i know that feeling |
