5.1.1. Using genome-replace-self
The first step is to install the genome-replace-self RPM. You can do this by running one of the following commands:
rpm -Uvh --force http://brenton.fedorapeople.org/genome/yum/Fedora-9-genome-noarch/genome-replace-self-1.0.0-2.fc9.noarch.rpm
If you want to install the RPM from your local Genome server, the format would be:
rpm -Uvh --force http://$GENOME_MACHINE/cobbler/repo_mirror/Fedora-9-genome-noarch/genome-replace-self-1.0.0-2.fc9.noarch.rpm
Cloud Appliances use genome-replace-self to get up and running quickly. The key to using genome-replace-self to provision a Cloud Appliance is to:
Use a Cloud profile.
Set the -m (metadata) flag appropriately.
The value for this flag varies depending if it is the certmaster or a minion in func parlance.
For the master set -m to certmaster=localhost
For the minion set -m to certmaster=[Any previously created Cloud master]
