When compute nodes experience a hard reboot (e.g., when the compute node is reset by pushing the power button or after a power failure), they will reformat the root file system and reinstall their base operating environment. To disable this feature: • Login to the frontend • Create a file that will override the default: # cd /home/install # cp rocks-dist/enterprise/3/os/i386/build/nodes/auto-kickstart.xml \ site-profiles/3.3.0/nodes/replace-auto-kickstart.xml • Edit the file site-profiles/3.3.0/nodes/replace-auto-kickstart.xml • Remove the line: rocks-boot-auto • Rebuild the distribution: # cd /home/install # rocks-dist dist • Reinstall all your compute nodes Note An alternative to reinstalling all your compute nodes is to login to each compute node and execute: # /etc/rc.d/init.
