After everything is working, go into the web admin for the MD and<br /> * Remove the MAC address<br /> * Modify the IP address to point to the new external IP address<br /> <br /> = Problems =<br /> == DNS, DHCP, PXE and TFTPBOOT ==<br /> A infrastructure to supply the correct information to the PXE booting MD needs to exist outside the internal network. Best bet is to copy the pxelinux.cfg file manually to a server on the outside.<br /> <br /> == Network ==<br /> Make sure you disable the LinuxMCE firewall, and make sure you have a route to 192.168.80.0 from your external network pointing to the dcerouter. Make sure, the host name dcerouter gets resolved.<br /> <br /> == MySQL ==<br /> The user root only has access to the MySQL databases from the internal network. This need to be changed:<br /> mysql -e &quot;GRANT ALL ON *.* TO &#039;root&#039;@&#039;&lt;ip-address-of-external-md&gt;&#039;;&quot;<br /> <br /> == NFS ==<br /> As is with MySQL, the NFS server only allows access from the inside. To remedy, the file /etc/exports has to be modified. Either after each reload, by replacing 192.168.80.0/255.255.255.0 with 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0 or by modifying the file /usr/pluto/templates/exports.tmpl<br /> <br /> Make sure to do restart the NFS service after modifying the exports file.<br /> service nfs-kernel-server restart<br /> <br /> = Conclusion =<br /> Things work, but there are many pitfalls, and there is a reason WHY you should let LinuxMCE be the center of your network.</div>
