[Sisuite-users] Error with si_prepareclient

[B. Erdelyi]

Hi,   I am using SI 3.6.2 on a HP Proliant DL360 with two 73G SCSI drives running RHLE 3.1.  The client preparation is started by issuing the command while logged in as root:   “si_prepapre client –server <server’s IP addr>”   The process starts OK up to the following point:   >>> tar –C /tmp/.systemimager.0 –cf - .  |   tar –C /tmp/.systemimager.1 –xf  - tar: ./dev/gpmctl:  socket  ignored tar: ./dev/log:  socket  ignored tar: ./linuxrc:  Wrote only 4096 of 10240 bytes tar: Unexpected EOF in archive tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now   then unsuccessfully attempts to remove both .systemimager.0 and .systemimager.1 directories and stops.   Does anyone have an idea on what is going on and how to go about fixing this problem?  It is my first attempt at using SystemImager.   Thanks, Bela
