Gentlemen 

Thank you I've been beating my head against the wall on this for several
days it worked perfectly.

after image load.

 

We had a similar problem (but had different headnode software) and
copying the modprobe.conf file for the nodes into the image's /etc/
directory allowed us to boot up.  

Since your headnode is the same as the compute nodes, you can probably
just copy /etc/modprobe.conf to the image directory (something like
/var/lib/systemimager/images/<image_name>/etc/ ). 

Hopefully this helps.

Dell uses SATA drivers which are not recognized well by Systemimager.
I installed OSCAR on some Dell PowerEdge servers and ran into similar
problems at node reboots.  If you look at my notes
(http://svn.oscar.openclustergroup.org/trac/oscar/wiki/TipLDAP) it
should lead you in the right direction.
 
In your case I would use the drivers mentioned in the
/etc/modprobe.conf instead of the ones I used for the PowerEdge
servers.

        Hi Michael,
         
        BTW, most oscarsamples have xorg-* by default and they would be
        installed on the client nodes, right?
        So, there may be some x related dependency problems if Jilin
needs to
        install Xwindows program but it won't be a big problem.
         
        But as Michael mentioned, I would like to confirm how this
affects the
        performance of the cluster.
        Basically I would like to use the gui access/controls of the
client
        nodes if the performance is not badly affected.
         
        Regards,

                The earliest Fedora distribution which is supported by
OSCAR 5.0 is
                      

        FC4.
            

                That being said, all you would need to do is come up
with a fairly
                complete RPM list for what you consider to be a "full
installation" of
                FC3 and use that in place of the sample one.  The sample
list is
                fairly simple and does not include Xwindows.
                 
                If there is a particular Xwindows program you need on
your nodes, you
                may be able to just add that rpm to the list and it
might pick up the
                rest as dependencies.  I am not sure that is a great
idea though.
                 
                Also, just as a note, OSCAR is not really designed for
interactive use
                of the nodes, which is why we left Xwindows off the node
images to
                begin with.

                        hi
                        I want to use OSCAR5.0 to manage our cluster.
But I donot know how to
                        implement the full installation of FC3 in
nodes.
