It is possible to install 6.2 on NFS?

Hello

We need to install 6.2 on NFS share and only boot volume on local
(iSCSI) disk. How to do it the easiest way?

gPXE + NFS would be how you wanna go.

Load the kernel with the following:
root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=pathtoyournfs

But I kind of feel like, if you have to ask, you probably shouldn't be
doing it...


Regardless though, PXE/DHCP/NFS/pxelinux/GRUB will be all the various
tools you need to accomplish it. It's up to you to make them all play
nice in your environment. Keep in mind, you'll need some type of local
overlay of sorts to allow for specific node configuration
aufs/unionfs/btrfs(preseed) should work...
