Managing a Cluster |
If you want to install additional software on the Cluster Manager or node images, you can create your own custom images based on the default images provided by Aspera. To do that, you need to start the default images in a special mode that prevents running the firstboot scripts, perform your customizations, and finally create a new image.
If you are making simple modifications that do not involve lengthy software installations, use custom first-boot scripts instead. For more information, see Customizing Cluster Nodes Using First-boot Scripts.
