Sledgehammer is the component of OpenCrowbar that we use as a

bootstrapping | tool to perform initial node discovery and to register its discovered | state within the OpenCrowbar node provisioning framework. After it has been | discovered Sledehammer can be controlled to prepare the hardward and to | lay down the operating system and to assure correct node configuration. | It consists of a slightly modified Centos 6.5 live environment. To build | Sledgehammer you need:

A CentOS 6.5 install DVD from bittorrent or your favorite CentOS

mirror.

To create Sledgehammer, run the tools\build_sledgehammersh script

in the main | OpenCrowbar core checkout.
