Host Files

When a system is provisioned, a subdirectory is created under the /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg directory on the BMI server. The name of the subdirectory is the MAC address of the provisioned host. The //BMI-system/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/MAC-address/ directory contains the kickstart and netboot host files. A host file contains the same lines that are in the template file, but the macro is replaced with host-specific data. A host file also has a post-install section that must not be changed.

Host files are refreshed whenever a host is reprovisioned.
