On a new build, old or new hardware
check if firmware updates need to happen
- BIOS, IDRAC, DISK/PERC
Determine the pxeboot-kickstart to use. There are many!
and we should agree on which one to use. I'd recommend we make that part
of the netdb record the way we do with some newer builds - I think it
helps. See for instance comet2
pxekickit: CentOS7/default.netboot.CentOS7.linux_desktop_2
Determine is there anything special about this machine that needs to be considered
If this is rhel[56] node with a taylor.opts take a look and see if there
is a one to one correstpondence between what taylor.opts is doing on the
node and what we can do in chef. For example, if pre-cheffed node is
using automounter a conversation needs to happen.
