Hi,
It seems that the new repository and trunk version codes work fine with CentOS
6.3 X86_64. :-) I have not fully gone through the deployment steps because I do
not have the test client nodes but I believe that it would work. I have
actually deployed my image on ubuntu 12.04 a few weeks ago. (I spent several
weeks in making the right initrd image.)
I do not really care about the step 7 and step 8 in oscar_wizard because the
cluster is deployed with my image and I have all the tools to manage them as I
wish.
Usually I spend most times in deploying my oscar image to the client nodes
because there are several issues of configuring the SIS image.
- hard to inject the missing kernel module to the generated initrd image (e.g.,
especially network kernel module is not loaded and a client node can not get
the oscar image after pxeboot).
- the firmware place where a kernel module look at is not correct
- ext4 fs is not supported
- a file with the hexdecimal file name representing the client's IP address is
not automatically generated on /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/ as soon as a client node
is imaged. If the hexdecimal file is generated, the client node whose IP
address is related to the hexdecimal would not be re-imaged when it is rebooted.
I know that this is not a pure oscar issue but more like the SIS issues.
If we want to make OSCAR more reliable and useful, I think we'd better spend
more time on the deployment solutions but not too much on the particular OSCAR
packages.
Once we have a solid deployment solutions, we can expand anything as we wish.
Thanks Olivier for his hard work.
BTW, would it work if i update the OSCAR repository only with your opkg-munge?
Regards,
