Re: [sisuite-users] SystemImager next generation BIG progress: CentOS-6 and Open SuSE-42.3 support!
Amazing Olivier thanks! On 3/21/2018 10:12 AM, LAHAYE Olivier wrote: Systemimager is still progressing a lot! New change since last announce: - Support for CentOS-6 (finaly!) - Support for Open SuSE-42.3 - Support For CentOS-7 - Support for Fedora-27 - Install script is not mandatory any-more (big change). You can still add one though. deployment process is the following: pre-install / format disks / mount partitions / run main install script / download/install image / install overrides / create config (mdadm, lvm, fstab, initramfs, ...) / bootloader / post install - many cmdline parameters to control systemimager imaging process (no more option 140 DHCP parameters to configure (still supported)). parameters can be set at multiple places (DHCP, local.cfg, PXE-cmdline, /var/lib/systemimager/scripts/configs/.conf) - disk layout is set in xml format and stored in /var/lib/systemimager/scripts/disks-layouts/.xml this permits to have a single image deployed to different nodes with different disks. No more one image per disk layout. - Now protocols are splitted in dracut sub modules (systemimager-xmit) * For now, only rsync works. * Planned: systemimager-xmit-docker: build your image on a docker server (must be complete), install it on deployed hardware! systemimager-xmit-flamethrower systemimager-xmit-nfs: mount your image tree thru NFS and rsync locally from NFS mount point systemimager-xmit-rsync: as usual systemimager-xmit-ssh: using scp systemimager-xmit-template: a template file for adding more protocols systemimager-xmit-torrent: torrent deployment - SSH tunnel is not considered any-more a protocol for systemimager image deployment. SSH tunnel is something running aside like a network layer. It was used for rsync, but IMHO could also be used for other protocols like NFS, docker, ... - systemimager parameters (set as shell variables in local.cfg or /var/lib/systemimager/scripts/configs/.conf or set as cmdline parameter in PXE) are the following: - si.debug / $DEBUG: values: y|n => Enable debug messages - si.config / $SIS_CONFIG: name of file containing config (uses less cmdline). File is stored in /var/lib/systemimager/scripts/configs/. Name is given without its PATH - si.image-name / $IMAGENAME: name of the image (looks for imagename|imagename.master) - si.script-name / $SCRIPTNAME: name of main script (looks for scriptname|scriptname.sh|scriptname.master) - si.disk-layout / $DISKS_LAYOUT: name of file containing disks layout in xml format (see man autoinstallscript.conf for now) (looks for filename|filename.xml) - si.dl-protocol / $DL_PROTOCOL: protocolname as seen in dracut module systemimager-xmit-.sh. defaults to rsync except if other parameter let think otherwise. - si.monitor-server / $MONITOR_SERVER: name or ip for monitor server - si.monitor-port / $MONITOR_PORT: monitor server port (defaults to 8181. min:100, max:32000) - si.monitor-console / $MONITOR_CONSOLE: y|n|0|1|yes|no (enable/disable log reported to monitor console) - si.skip-local-cfg / SKIP_LOCAL_CFG: y|n|0|1|yes|no (default:n) if yes, try to read local.cfg from old disks or floppy (USB planed of course but not yet implemented) - si.image-server / $IMAGESERVER: name or ip for the image server - si.log-server-port / $LOG_SERVER_PORT: the log server port (default is 514, min:100, max:32000) - si.ssh-client / $SSH: y|n|0|1|yes|no (dfault "n"). - si.ssh-download-url / $SSH_DOWNLOAD_URL: ssh download URL => sets DL_PROTOCOL to "ssh" - si.ssh-server / $SSHD: y|n|0|1|yes|no (enable / disable sshd access while imaging) (default "n") - si.flamethrower-directory-portbase: $FLAMETHROWER_DIRECTORY_PORTBASE: path - si.tmpfs-staging / $TMPFS_STAGING: path to staging dir. - si.term / $TERM: terminal type to use. defaults to "linux" - si.selinux-relabel / $SEL_RELABEL: y-n|0|1|yes|no: Request a SELinux files relabel after imaging disks - si.post-action / $SIS_POST_ACTION: what to do after imaging. defaults to reboot. Possible values: kexec, shell, reboot, shutdown, poweroff (and soon continue) continue will boot the imaged system without reboot. This is possible as initramfs is simply mounting OS filesystems in /sysroot and calls swaproot. We are in the same situatiuon after imaging. We only need to check that imaging kernel (uname -r) has modules available in /sysroot/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/, then we exit the dracut hook initqueue and dracut finishes the boot for us. - Parameters in DHCP are still possible and supported even in wickedd-dhcp4 dhcp client in SuSE distros. - option-140: IMAGESERVER - option-141: LOG_SERVER_PORT - option-142: SSH_DOWNLOAD_URL - option-143: FLAMETHROWER_DIRECTORY_PORTBASE - option-144: TMPFS_STAGING IMPORTANT: - si_mkautoinstallscript is DEPRECATED and shouldn't be used (useless though) - disk layout has changed. main scripts are now stored in

I appreciate your efforts, and would like to grant you both commit privileges to the SVN repository, so that you can commit your patches directly. Bas, Franck, the same goes for you two if you wish. Regarding a fork, that is generally necessary because one does not have the ability to modify the upstream original. I will happily grant you this access, as I think it would be better for the community to improve the main code stream rather than to have a fork. I know that SALI has special circumstances that made a fork appropriate for them, at least previously, but I would also be happy to allow that fork to merge into the mainstream if SALI considers that desirable. Lastly, with regard to SystemConfigurator, it is no longer being maintained, and we should work to eliminate our dependency on it. With modern Linuxes this should be very feasible through the use of SystemImager postscripts for setup of boot manager (Grub) and networking (if desirable).

The only console they have were I can see the progress or lack there-of is a serial console. Also the only installation method is via pxe boot. I have passed the console=ttyS0,9600n8 to the kernel in the pxelinux.cfg boot config file and as a result I see the kernel boot messages on the serial console. Once the kernel is done booting however I do not see any further messages except for any rsync bits which are normally quiet other than three or four small rsync status messages at the end. If I use the --listing option when I pull the image from the golden client that is running RHEL6.1 I do indeed see the whole list of files being rsync'ed fly by but this really slows the install down to a crawl. I do not see ANY of the customary boel progress messages at all. I see where initramfs is detected and init called. Then it talks about how init is started with BusyBox v1.9.1 (2011-04-21 16:31:21 PDT), then the disk controller modules are loaded. The last messages I see are: NET: Registered protocal family 10 lo: Disabled Privacy Extensions and then just before the node reboots after rsyncing over all the files are three or four rsnc connect messages and then the node reboots. My basic problem is after the node reboots from the install, it does not boot up to the OS. It just sits there after accessing the default file that tells it to boot from the local disk and goes no further. My suspicion is that some part of the grub execution or something else at the end of the install is not proceeding correctly. But since I cannot see any of the boel or other progress log messages I am not sure what is failing. BTW, I also have a basic RHEL6.1 kickstart environment setup and the same nodes will pxe boot and install just fine from the redhat kickstart environment that also uses the console=ttyS0,9600n8 in the kernel append line. Any thoughts?

The only console they have were I can see the progress or lack there-of is a serial console. Also the only installation method is via pxe boot. I have passed the console=ttyS0,9600n8 to the kernel in the pxelinux.cfg boot config file and as a result I see the kernel boot messages on the serial console. Once the kernel is done booting however I do not see any further messages except for any rsync bits which are normally quiet other than three or four small rsync status messages at the end. If I use the --listing option when I pull the image from the golden client that is running RHEL6.1 I do indeed see the whole list of files being rsync'ed fly by but this really slows the install down to a crawl. I do not see ANY of the customary boel progress messages at all. I see where initramfs is detected and init called. Then it talks about how init is started with BusyBox v1.9.1 (2011-04-21 16:31:21 PDT), then the disk controller modules are loaded. The last messages I see are: NET: Registered protocal family 10 lo: Disabled Privacy Extensions and then just before the node reboots after rsyncing over all the files are three or four rsnc connect messages and then the node reboots. My basic problem is after the node reboots from the install, it does not boot up to the OS. It just sits there after accessing the default file that tells it to boot from the local disk and goes no further. My suspicion is that some part of the grub execution or something else at the end of the install is not proceeding correctly. But since I cannot see any of the boel or other progress log messages I am not sure what is failing. BTW, I

So I retried to install a new node with UYOK with success after run all SI
commands without some options,
but :
kernel panic at reboot (even with option --post-install reboot), sorry I
forgot my camera, I saw errors like nosemaphores etc.. I suspect this time
the kernel itself since I use RT prempt patched kernel, what do you think ?
suggestion . if run si_mkbootserver but cancel or interrupt it all the files
but default are deleted, so
if I run it again it complains that syslinux.cfg and other are missing,
which is a little ennoying. maybe delete the file
once it's installed ?
Anyway, Great job as usual and thank you very much Bernard, Brian, Dann,

I think SI doesn't identify correctly the nice since it fails back to
something like socket fallback and
after there's DHCPDISCOVERY lo port 67 interval xx
I tried also eth0 with same result.
weird since the nic (intel 1000e) are the same of the previous node I installed

Re: [sisuite-users] SystemImager + LTSP
Hi - Original Message - From: Àlex Magaz Graça al...@asic.udl.cat To: sisuite-users@lists.sourceforge.net Sent: Friday, August 14, 2009 4:50 AM Subject: [sisuite-users] SystemImager + LTSP Hi, Some months ago I was working on integrating SystemImager into LTSP. The idea was to run the installation scripts from an LTSP environment instead of running them from a custom initrd. Why do this? Well, right now, if you want to modify some of this scripts, you have to regenerate the initrd and put it into the right place. As you usually make mistakes you have to repeat the process several times, which is a bit tedious. Things become worse when you need to regenerate the BOEL binaries tar ball, for example to update some of its utilities. It also a pain when something fails in the middle of an installation and you have to find out what happened from a so limited busy box environment. So, what do we get from this? With LTSP we get a chroot of a standard distribution mounted through NFS, which means we can modify any file and install/upgrade any package in a really easy way. This makes it easier to test new functionality and debug problems. With the attached patch I've succeeded doing installations with both rsync and BitTorrent, but there's still a lot of work do. I've not tested multicast and SSH installations, support for all installation parameters is incomplete and some other things don't work as they should. As I don't think I'll be able to work on this anymore, I drop it here in the hope someone finds it useful. Apart from the patch, I've also attached the instructions on how to integrate the SystemImager scripts into the LTSP chroot. Cheers, Àlex -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Re: [sisuite-users] incorrect client hostname
Maybe a problem with one of your nic that interrupts sometimes Franck - Original Message - From: y...@ed.ac.uk To: sisuite-us...@lists.sf.net Sent: Wednesday, June 03, 2009 6:24 AM Subject: [sisuite-users] incorrect client hostname I'm using SystemImager to image nodes of my cluster. It works well in most times, but SystemImager will get an incorrect hostname occationally. Since each of my cluster node has two NIC, corresponding to seperate hostnames: i.e. eth0 node123 eth1 eddie123 Both interfaces' IP address and hostname are defined in DHCP I am using eth1 to image nodes and I want the hostname to be eddiexxx. So I name all the install scripts as eddiexxx.sh and link them to the master script. SystemImager does recognise the nodes as eddiexxx after booting the nodes in most times, however, occationally, the nodes are recognised as nodexxx by SystemImager and the booting will fail due to the lack of install scrpt nodexxx.sh. If I reboot this client node, it will be recognized as eddiexxx again. Anyone can explain the reason of my problem? How SystemImage get the hostname of client node?
