Re: [sisuite-users] issue with 3.8.2 on sarge using kernel 2.4

Thu, 04 Oct 2007 08:07:33 -0700

As far as I have looked to the source, it seems that function sub collect_disks in si_prepareclient is not compliant to what happen on our servers:

sistest4:~# cat /proc/partitions
major minor  #blocks  name     rio rmerge rsect ruse wio wmerge wsect wuse running use aveq

 104    32   71126640 cciss/disc2/disc 5 11 32 20 0 0 0 0 0 20 20

There is no match in ths function, so may the issue be here ?? Find the other answer below inline.

Hi all,

I compiled 3.8.2 on debian sarge as client:
- do the client install
- do the si_prepareclient
- do si_getimage on server
no issue noticed.
When trying to restore image on same server, it was unable to create
disk structure.

I investigate and found that /etc/systemimager/autoinstallscript.conf
was lacking all disk information:
   <disk dev="/dev/cciss/c0d0" label_type="msdos" unit_of_measurement="MB">
     <!--
       This disk's output was brought to you by the partition tool "sfdisk",
       and by the numbers 4 and 5 and the letter Q.
     -->
     <part  num="1"  size="179"  p_type="primary"  p_name="-"  flags="-" />
     <part  num="2"  size="5453"  p_type="primary"  p_name="-" 
flags="swap" />
     <part  num="3"  size="*"  p_type="primary"  p_name="-"  flags="lvm"
lvm_group="vg00" />
   </disk>
    

Do you mean that this configuration is not present in autoinstallscript.conf
(and you defined it manually) or that the <fsinfo></fsinfo> section is missing?
Yes it was lacking in autoinstall script, I copy it from a sister setup using a 2.6 kernel

In any case could you post the output of the following commands (from your
golden client):

# sfdisk -l -uM /dev/cciss/c0d0
sistest4:~# sfdisk -l -uM /dev/cciss/c0d0

This is on a HP DL380G4 with netraid (cciss driver).
It works Well with same setup but using 2.6 kernel of sarge and also I
do not have this problem on a ia64 with sarge+kernel2.4 (but no netraid
driver)

Any help welcome.
    

  

  

Which distribution are you using with the 2.6 kernel?
  



We are still using debian sarge (also rhel4, rhel5)
