Here is how you work with NetReg.

Contents

Register the machine in NetReg.

Login in as cl0x or your own Andrew user.

Virtual machine: Make a Netreg entry with an empty MAC and save it. Make it in the Computer Club subnet. The only thing you need to change is the hostname. Then generate the MAC address from the IP that is assigned to the machine.

printf "0000%x%x%x%x\n" 128 237 157 XXX

Update that record with that MAC address.

(This correspond to Cray ethernet hardware, which will never be in B6 anyway)

Physical machine: Make a Netreg entry with the MAC address of the physical hardware.

Once the machine is registered, NetReg will take you to the machine's main page.

Click the "View Advanced Options" link.

Scroll down to the "DHCP Options" section and click the "Add DHCP Option" link.

Use this to add two options:

filename

"/netinstall-wheezy/debian-installer/amd64/pxelinux.0"

next-server

storage-2.club.cc.cmu.edu

Wait for the change to propagate to the Andrew DHCP servers. NetReg will tell you when the next DHCP server update happens on the signout page.
