Re: [Sisuite-users] Can System Imager deal with LVM yet?

2006-03-06 Thread Brian Elliott Finley

I tagged 3.7.2 as a development release from trunk last night.  Turns
out, it looks like the disk type independence patches are already in
there. :-)

However, I haven't yet looked into the details of what it takes to make
it work, or if it "just works".

Cheers, -Brian


Thus spake Drew Weaver ([EMAIL PROTECTED]):

Brian, thanks for finally clearing that up.

I went ahead and came up with my own solution to this problem; however
this is a single hangup that I cant seem to get past; if anyone has ANY
suggestions I would be forever in their debt as I have spent so much
time trying to make this thing work:

I am using SystemImager to auto-install about 500 different
machines, some of them are CentOS; as you can Imagine I want to automate
the installation of the bootloader; so I wrote a 2 scripts to accomplish
this task. Why two? Because some of the machines are IDE, and some of
them are SATA, and I need to be able to use the same disk image on both
of the drive types. Here is the first bash script:

if grep -q sda /proc/diskstats
then
  TYPE="sda1"
  MOUNT1="/dev/sda1 /a/boot"
  MOUNT2="/dev/sda3 /a"
else
  TYPE="hda1"
  MOUNT1="/dev/hda1 /a/boot"
  MOUNT2="/dev/hda3 /a"
fi
  mount $MOUNT2
  mount $MOUNT1
  MOUNT3="proc /a/proc -t proc -o defaults"
  mount $MOUNT3
  MKSYS="-p /a/sys"
  MOUNT4="sysfs /a/sys -t sysfs -o defaults"
  mkdir $MKSYS
  mount $MOUNT4
  MOUNT5="/dev /a/dev -o bind"
  mount $MOUNT5
  echo "mount $MOUNT2"
  echo "mount $MOUNT1"
  cp /sbin/grubinstall /a/sbin/grubinstall
  chmod 755 /a/sbin/grubinstall
  chmod +x /a/sbin/grubinstall
  chroot /a /sbin/grubinstall
exit 0

What this does is determines whether the drive is SATA or IDE by looking
at diskstats, if it is SATA, it mounts /dev/sda1 & /dev/sda3, if it is
IDE, it mounts /dev/hda1 & /dev/hda3, it also creates and mounts all of
the auxillary filesystems (proc, sys, dev) The next script which I run
in the CentOS environment via chroot is:

TYPE=   
SUBS=

if grep -q sda /proc/diskstats
then
  TYPE="sda1"   
  SUBS="s/hda/sda/g"

else
  TYPE="hda1"
  SUBS="s/sda/hda/g"
fi
  grub-install --no-floppy --recheck /dev/$TYPE
  sed -i "$SUBS" /boot/grub/menu.lst   
  echo "sed -i $SUBS /boot/grub/menu.lst"

  sed -i "$SUBS" /etc/fstab
  echo "sed -i $SUBS /etc/fstab"
  sed -i "$SUBS" /boot/grub/grub.conf
  echo "sed -i $SUBS /boot/grub/grub.conf"
  sed -i "$SUBS" /etc/grub.conf
  echo "sed -i $SUBS /etc/grub.conf"
  ls "ls -l /etc/grub.conf /boot/grub/grub.conf /boot/grub/menu.lst"
exit 0


By the way /a is the ROOT of the hard drive (freshly imaged) and /a/boot
is the boot partition of the hard drive (freshly imaged).

This script again enumerates the type of hard disk attached to the
system, installs grub on /dev/hda1 or /dev/sda1, modifies
/boot/grub/menu.lst /boot/grub/grub.conf /etc/fstab /etc/grub.conf
sda>hda hda>sda and so forth.

Everything actually works fine; grub is installed; the files are
all modified appropriately. 


The issue comes when the newly imaged system comes up. The first
time the system boots up; grub is still configured to boot with
root=/dev/sda3; even though NONE of the configuration files mention
anything about /dev/sda3. However if I hit 'E' and modify the 'kernel
...' line in the grub editor from the bootloader, and allow it to boot
up; the system boots up normally.

The STRANGE part; is that after the first time it boots off of
/dev/hda3; grub suddenly starts using that EVERY time the system boots;
but I cant figure out why I have to first manually change it; and then
reboot before it will work.

Its almost like the CentOS boot process 'fixes' whatever is
wrong with grub; the first time it boots after I run my crazy script on
it; but I cant figure out what process during the boot is doing it; or
what else I need to do to ensure trouble free auto-installation of
CentOS.

Any advice anyone can give me would be wonderful.

Thanks,
-Drew

This point is not so clear to me... are you using the following script
as a post-install script? because in this case I'm not able to figure
how it can work, since post-install scripts run chrooted into the
installed image...

ok, now this is a post-install script (I suppose). Moreover (I'm sure
this is not the problem), but I'd try to put grub-install after the
substitutions.

You can check if your script is the last script executed just before the
reboot... otherwise other scripts could modify the menu.lst, writing
/dev/sda3 in the root parameter... systemconfigurator for example could
do something like that...

Sure... look at update-grub:
http://www.fifi.org/cgi-bin/man2html/usr/share/man/man8/update-grub.8.gz

Maybe you can also try to run this command in a post-install script...

RE: [Sisuite-users] Can System Imager deal with LVM yet?

2006-03-03 Thread Bernard Li
Title: RE: [Sisuite-users] Can System Imager deal with LVM yet?






Hey Drew:
 
Do you build a golden image 
or do you use SystemInstaller to build it?
 
OSCAR (http://oscar.openclustergroup.org) 
uses SystemInstaller/SystemImager for building images for cluster nodes and as 
far as I know you can build one image and it will work for either hda or sda 
HDs.  Perhaps you can try the code in OSCAR SVN and see if that works 
better for you - it already includes SystemImager 3.6.2 as well as newer 
versions of SystemInstaller and SystemConfigurator.
 
Cheers,
 
Bernard

LVM support has been added from version 3.5.2, so if you're using 3.4.1
you cannot use LVM. Anyway IMO 3.6.2 can be considered stable enough, at
the moment I'm using this release in production without any problem.

Best regards,

It doesn't even install grub properly; so I doubt it handles LVM.

A simple Yes or No response would be appreciated.

Does the stable version of System Imager work with LVM's yet?

A reply is greatly appreciated.
