zoo.FreeBSD.org is the front-end build and management - system. All netperf cluster users are provided with accounts on this - box, typically using the same account name and SSH keys as used to - access the FreeBSD.org central cluster. Connected to zoo's second - network interface is a gigabit link to the internal management - network. Zoo provides DHCP, tftp, and NFS services to boxes in the - cluster, as well as having serial access to the remote power system - and serial console access to the test boxes. Test kernels and - software will typically be built and configured on zoo, then exported - to the cluster via NFS. Zoo exports its /zoo file system to the - cluster, and cluster users will have a directory, /zoo/username, in - which they can place any files to export. Each machine has a - /zoo/hostname directory, which consists of the root of an NFS root - file system, as well as the tree from which tftp exports pxeboot - loaders. By substituting kernels and configuration files in these - trees, most aspects of the test systems may be directly managed. - This system was donated by Sentex Communications.
