 Prior to 2018, we didn't have [[services:FOG]] and testnodes would need to be reimaged every so often using [[services:cobbler]] when the OS would get too mangled to re-use.  The [[services:dhcp]] server is configured to point smithi and mira to the [[services:FOG]] PXE server.  All other machine types can use Cobbler. Prior to 2018, we didn't have [[services:FOG]] and testnodes would need to be reimaged every so often using [[services:cobbler]] when the OS would get too mangled to re-use.  The [[services:dhcp]] server is configured to point smithi and mira to the [[services:FOG]] PXE server.  All other machine types can use Cobbler.

 For machines that typically use FOG, you will need to tell the DHCP server to point whatever machine you're reimaging to Cobbler's PXE server instead of FOG's. You can do this with [[https://github.com/ceph/ceph-cm-ansible/blob/main/tools/set-next-server-local.sh|set-next-server-local.sh]]. e.g.,<code> For machines that typically use FOG, you will need to tell the DHCP server to point whatever machine you're reimaging to Cobbler's PXE server instead of FOG's.
