rinstall - Begin OS provision on a noderange
rinstall noderange [boot | shell | runcmd=command] [-c|--console] [-V|--verbose]
rinstall noderange osimage[=imagename] [--noupdateinitrd][--ignorekernelchk] [-c|--console] [-u|--uefimode] [-V|--verbose]

rinstall is a convenience command to begin OS provision on a noderange.
If osimage=imagename is specified or osimage is specified and nodetype.provmethod=osimage is set, provision the noderange with the osimage specified/configured.
If -c is specified, it will then run rcons on the node. This is allowed only if one node is in the noderange. If consoles are needed on multiple nodes, see winstall(8).
Instruct network boot loader to be skipped, generally meaning boot to hard disk
Prepare server for installing a node using the specified OS image. The OS image is defined in the osimage table and linuximage table. If the imagename is omitted, the OS image name will be obtained from nodetype.provmethod for the node.
Skip the kernel version checking when injecting drivers from osimage.driverupdatesrc. That means all drivers from osimage.driverupdatesrc will be injected to initrd for the specific target kernel.
If you would like to run a task after deployment, you can define that task with this attribute.
This instructs the node to boot to the xCAT genesis environment and specified command to be executed.
This instructs the node to boot to the xCAT genesis environment, and present a shell prompt on console. The node will also be able to be sshed into and have utilities such as wget, tftp, scp, nfs, and cifs. It will have storage drivers available for many common systems.
Display usage message.
Display version.
For BMC-based servers, to specify the next boot mode to be "UEFI Mode".
Verbose output.
Requests that rinstall runs rcons once the provision starts. This will only work if there is only one node in the noderange. See winstall(8) for starting consoles on multiple nodes.
