Creating a Node CD

If you plan to boot the compute nodes from CD-ROM, you may use BeoSetup to create node CDs (recommended 1 disc per node). The following procedure creates an ISO image on the hard drive; you can then burn this image to a CD.

  1. Click the Node CD button in the BeoSetup main window to open the Create PXE Boot CD Image dialog box.

  2. If the correct ISO does not appear in the dialog box, then use the Browse option to locate it.

  3. Click OK to write the ISO image to your hard drive.

  4. Writing the ISO image from your hard drive to a CD-ROM would normally be performed by the cdrecord command.
