Adding New Roll In Rocks-5.3

The Rocks way of installing the roll is as usual to reinstall your frontend and compute nodes, but you can also use the chain of commands to install a new roll on an existing frontend (with or without a previous version of the roll):

# rocks add roll /path/to/demo/roll.iso
# rocks enable roll demo
# rocks create distro
# rocks run roll demo | sh
# reboot

After the the frontend comes back up you should do the following to populate the node list:

# rocks sync config

then kickstart all your nodes

# tentakel /boot/kickstart/cluster-kickstart

After the nodes are reinstalled they should automatically pop up in the queueing system.
