I'm trying to install Oscar 5.0 (FC5). 1. Can make partitions
I got to the point where my node client PXE booted, and started running all the install stuff. But it errored at the disk partitioning stage, with some message such as PARTITION NOT FOUND or something like that. My hard disk is properly installed. I had used the default scsi.disk in the installer -- I noticed it had partition lines like this: sda1 /boot sda5 swap sda6 / What is up with the 5 and 6??? Shouldn't that be 2 & 3??? 2. Can't remake image I thought I would try again, make my own sata.disk file (using sda1,2,3). When I got to the AddClients, I ran into problems. I want to *recreate* the images for my first 2 clients, since I have not succesfully installed them. But there doesn't seem to be a way to delete clients that haven't been successfully installed yet. I tried resetting the parameters in the AddClients to the starting ones, but I just got an error msg when I pressed the button. How do I delete the client images I haven't installed yet, and redefine them? (Note the instructions mention a "Delete client image" button on the wizard, but there is no such button -- maybe that is because the nodes never actually got installed? 3. Question about interfaces I have two NICs in my nodes. Maybe this is too complicated??? The mobo nic is an Intel G lan on PCIE. I also added a Glan on the PCI slot -- the idea was that the mobo NIC on fast PCIE would be used exclusively for MPI, and the other NIC would be used for normal network stuff. Some snags: a. PXE is only available on the mobo nic b. the PCI nic ends up being eth0, whereas the mobo nic ends up being eth1 It would seem "natural" in my plan to try to boot/install onto the PCI nic, but that doesn't have PXE. Any tips or feedback on my approach???
