pushinitrd - queries your SoftLayer account and gets attributes for each server.
pushinitrd [-v | --verbose] [-w waittime] [noderange]
pushinitrd [-? | -h | --help]
The pushinitrd command copies the initrd, kernel, params, and static IP info to nodes, so they can be net installed even across vlans (w/o setting up pxe/dhcp broadcast relay). This assumes a working OS is on the nodes. Before running this command, you must run nodeset for these nodes. All of the nodes given to one invocation of pushinitrd must be using the same osimage.
Before using this command, if will be most convenient if you exchange the ssh keys using:
xdsh <noderange> -K
-w waittime
The number of seconds the initrd should wait before trying to communicate over the network. The default is 75. This translates into the netwait kernel parameter and is usually needed in a SoftLayer environment because it can take a while for a NIC to be active after changing state.
