ABSTRACT:
A method and system for repurposing a plurality of machines communicatively coupled together. A disk image is transferred to a first machine in the plurality of machines via a network. The disk image repurposes the first one of the plurality of machines to execute a new task. The disk image is then transferred from the first machine to a second machine in the plurality of machines. The first machine is boot on the disk image. The second machine is boot on the disk image received from the first machine.
