Installing a hardware testing controller

• Write the hwtest image to a USB key
• Boot the controller system from the USB key
• Login as root (no password)
• Do:

   gnome-hwtest-install --controller

• Confirm the drive you want to install on - ALL DATA WILL BE ERASED
• Reboot
• Login as root (still no password)

• Determine the MAC addresses of your public and private network interfaces. (ifconfig -a to list the interfaces; ifconfig <ifname> up, look at /sys/class/net/<ifname>/carrier to see if it's plugged in or not. Is adding ethtool to the hwtest image worthwhile?)

• In /srv/gnome-hwtest edit the file controller.conf to have the right public and private MAC addresses.

[controller]
private_hwaddr=<private_hwaddr>
public_hwaddr=<public_hwaddr>

• Reboot the machine.

• Add a target system or systems - see Adding a target to a controller
