Hi, 

I have a number of dell servers geographically distributed throughout Pennsylvania which I need to re-image with the latest perfSONAR toolkit. To avoid having to physically visit each server I am looking to boot the toolkit installer remotely from the ISO hosted on another server on my network. 

Has anyone in the community had success in installing the toolkit in this fashion? I know technologies exist to network boot a server, but (a) I didn't know if the toolkit installer plays well with these technologies and (b) I'm not very familiar with the process of setting up a network boot.

 If anyone has any tips or can point me to some good online resources, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks,
