- Accessing the nodes via ssh
# access the nodes, do this from the boot node:
sudo su -
(password)
dev ssh
ssh <IP> # ip from the dashboard, access the private address of the nodes- Reinstall a system without a full reboot
# on the boot node and as root
# edit the conf file
vi /mnt/flash/conf/pentos.conf.used
# then :
dev reinit- Check status via CLI (if you can access the web interface)
# on boot node
