Title: Would like to install a DM without DHCP setup
Post by: gbraad on December 26, 2007, 12:35:01 am
Hello,


Is there any possibility to use a LinuxMCE core with a Media Director... without using the core as a network DHCP?!
What I mean is; there is supposed to be an option to install an additional MD during the install of a new install to be slave of the core (or hybrid) as long as it obtained an IP address from the core's dhcp server. In my current setup that is not possible to allow. How can I install a DM which connects to the dcerouter... Help would be appreciated...

greets,


Gerard

in short, there is no way to do what you're asking.

In short: There might be a way ;).

My current way of thinking is this:


Tell us your results.

What I did was slightly different.
I kept the DHCP server running, but made the dhcp addresses for anonymous dhcp-hosts overlap. dhcp3.conf was configured for those addresses omn the core. During the installation of the MD I still didn't get the expected result... so I continued and later tried to make a MD of the Hybrid install...

changed the hostname after install...
and then allowed it to connect to the core with root as username...
that worked to connect, but failed to launch the orbiter since the ID was not in the database...

i will try to see what more I can do :P
