Re: Changing default network IP

Yes, this is possible, and not too hard to do. You just need to edit the configuration files, which are all in /usr/bin, and which have names that start with "pelican". To find the files that need to be changed, do

grep 10.11.12 /usr/bin/pelican

Then edit those files, replacing all occurrences of 10.11.12 with whatever you like.

Finally, you need to edit /var/lib/tftpboot/debian-live/$ARCH/boot-screens/menu.cfg to change 10.11.12.1 to the IP of the frontend node.

$ARCH here is either i386 or amd64, depending on whether it's the 32 or 64 bit version.

I'll probably try to add this as an option to the configuration scripts sometime in the future, certainly by next summer at the latest. For now I'll reference this post on the Pelican homepage. So, any refinements, improvements, or error corrections are welcome.

Cheers, Michael
