EXAMPLES

This tool is used internally by the scyld-install tool to populate the initial (or cleared) database with the objects necessary to boot compute nodes. When run on a database with no attribute groups defined and passed the --auto-first argument this script will not ask the user any questions and will use default values. This should not be necessary for an administrator to run unless they have manually cleared the database using the managedb clear command:

scyld-add-boot-config --make-defaults

Rebuild the DefaultImage and DefaultBoot.

scyld-add-boot-config --iso Rocky-9.5-x86_64-dvd.iso

Use the named ISO file to build a distro and repo named Rocky-9.5-x86_64-dvd, and manually accept defaults that create a boot image and boot configuration, all named Rocky-9.5-x86_64-dvd.

scyld-add-boot-config --iso Rocky-9.5-x86_64-dvd.iso \
     --image Rocky-9.5-Image --boot-config Rocky-9.5-boot --batch

Use the named ISO file in hands-off batch mode to build a repo and distro, both named Rocky-9.5-x86_64-dvd, a boot image named Rocky-9.5-Image and a boot config named Rocky-9.5-boot.

RETURN VALUES

Upon successful completion, scyld-add-boot-config returns 0. On failure, an error message is printed to stderr and scyld-add-boot-config returns 1.
