Configuring diskless clients with Red Hat Enterprise Linux
Updated -
Beginning with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.1, Red Hat has supported booting Linux via NFSROOT. This allows clients to mount root filesystems remotely on NFS servers. Combined with PXE (Preboot eXecution Environment), clients can boot and operate without local storage of any kind. Additionally, when using storage snapshots, many clients can operate from a single filesystem.
