Introduction

The installation on the preferred hardware is done by booting the system over network. The preferred hardware for a uMEC node is a Raspberry Pi (3B+ or 4B).

There are instructions on how to prepare a MicroMEC cluster for network boot.

In a netboot setup the uMEC nodes load the Linux kernel image and initramfs via TFTP from the netboot server. The root file system of each node is a separate iscsi target on the netboot server. The uMEC nodes login to the iscsi target during boot up.
