Reinstalling CSM on a node

The procedure for reinstalling a CSM node is different, depending on whether you want to reinstall CSM only, or if you want to reinstall CSM and the operating system.

Reinstalling CSM only

To reinstall CSM, do the following:

See the man pages or the commands chapter of the CSM for Linux: Administration Guide for more information about the updatenode and definenode commands.

Reinstalling CSM and Linux

To reinstall both CSM and the operating system, do the following:

  1. If you need to change one or more of the node attributes, such as InstallDistributionVersion (operating system version), use the chnode command. For example, to change the operating system version from Red Hat 7.1 to 7.2, you would use the command like this:
    chnode -N MangagedNodes InstallDistributionVersion='7.2'
    

    For more information about the chnode command, see the man page or the commands chapter of CSM for Linux: Administration Guide

  2. Run the csmsetupks command to reconfigure Red Hat Kickstart and create the Kickstart configuration files.
  3. Run the installnode command to reinstall the nodes with the new operating system level.
