Re: Sysprep not running under windows 7

2010-05-11 Thread Andy Kurth

Hello Roger,
The code you are running (version 2.1 and earlier) was actually written for 
Vista and does not support Sysprep.  I attempted to add Vista Sysprep support 
when I wrote it and decided not to use it because Vista's Sysprep took an 
extremely long time to complete when an image was loaded.


Sysprep seems to have been updated for Windows 7 and does not take as long to 
run, although it's still quite a bit longer than XP.  The code in the repository 
has been updated to use Sysprep for Vista, 7, and 2008.  VCL 2.2 will include this.


Sorry for the confusion,
Andy

Re: Change image timeout

2010-05-11 Thread Andy Kurth

The command that is being executed to check the size should be:
du -c /storage/x86/image/x86/winvista-Windows7FacStaff49-v0*

Try running this.  What output does it generate?  The last line should look 
like:
 total

The code appears to be finding the 'total' line but is either not parsing it 
correctly, not calculating the size correctly, or the du command isn't correct.


Also, it would be helpful if you include the output from:
ls -l /storage/x86/image/x86/winvista-Windows7FacStaff49-v0*

From these lines in the log, it's indicating that the capture hasn't 
started:


12:31:01|9225|144:178|image|xCAT.pm:get_image_size(3146)|returning image 
size: 0 MB (4 bytes)

copy not complete, sleeping for 30 seconds

Notice the image size is 0 MB, meaning the partimage save isn't occurring. 

After 20 minutes of nothing being saved, it gives up. Can you watch the 
capture from the server console to verify that the PXE boot is running and 

that it's booting into the image capture mode? Do the log entries at the 
beginning of the imaging process show any errors?

Re: windows 64 bit support

2010-05-11 Thread Andy Kurth

Good info Mike.  Hopefully the next release will make this a little less 
painful.


- Install Windows-64 hotfix for Sysnative path to work.


Yes.  You'll need this:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/942589

If you can't run the following command on a 64-bit installation then things 
won't work:

dir C:\Windows\Sysnative


- Create symlinks for shutdown.exe, defrag.exe in system32 folder.


The code will need to be checked for these and all other calls to .exe's in 
System32.  This won't be a requirement in the next release.



- Use the Windows_Server_2003 module in the OS table for winxp64 OS.


Was this required so VMware would set the guestOS setting in the .vmx file to 
something that worked for 64-bit, or was there another reason?



- Replace Sysprep and Broadcom drivers under
  /usr/local/vcl/tools/Windows_Server_2003 with 64-bit versions. 


We'll need to design the drivers directories out a little better.  As of now, 
the tools/Windows_version/drivers directories are copied during image capture 
and there are no provisions for different architectures.  If you want to run 
both 32 and 64-bit versions of the same Windows OS, the drivers for both will be 
copied.  This could cause conflicts if Sysprep doesn't choose the correct driver.


Also add 64-bit version of spdrvscn.exe.

The requirement for spdrvscn.exe has been removed in the latest code but you'll 
need the correct version of this utility for 2.1 and earlier.  This utility 
scans the driver .inf files and populates the DevicePath registry key with all 
of the paths it finds.  The vcld Perl code now does this.  The new code also 
automatically populates the mass storage section of sysprep.inf will the paths 
to all of the storage .inf's it finds.

RE: windows 64 bit support

2010-05-11 Thread Waldron, Michael H
I believe at the time, I chose the Windows_Server_2003 module for 64-bit XP 
because it seemed to be the closest match, and we aren't running any Windows 
Server 2003 here, so I knew it would be safe to place 64-bit drivers in there. 
And I wasn't smart enough to write my own module :)

I haven't created a vmware-based 64-bit XP image, only bare metal. I wanted the 
64-bit version so we could take advantage of all the memory on the bare metal 
images.

Re: Change image timeout

2010-05-11 Thread Andy Kurth
I believe the problem is related to the Install Path setting for your management 
node:

Management Nodes  Edit Management Node Information  Edit

Based on the paths being used, I'm guessing yours is set to 'storage/x86'. 
Where does the partimage .gz file reside?  If it actually resides in 
'/storage/image/x86' then change the Install Path setting to 'storage'.


The .tmpl file residing in this directory may indicate another problem with the 
xCAT root path.  Where is xCAT installed and which version of xCAT are you 
using?  Search your log file for 'xCAT root path found:'.  What path does this 
line contain?


Regards,
Andy

So you never answered whether you watched the capture occurring from the 
node console. Can you watch the console and see the capture running while 
monitoring the log that shows the capture file is size 0?
What about any other error messages for the rest of the log capture for 
this imaging request?

So you can do an ls -l 
/storage/x86/image/x86/winvista-Windows7FacStaff49-v0 and it shows some 



size?

The image is definately being captured and I can force the image to be 
used after it fails by manually undeleting it from the mysql database

From these lines in the log, it's indicating that the capture hasn't 
started:


12:31:01|9225|144:178|image|xCAT.pm:get_image_size(3146)|returning image 



size: 0 MB (4 bytes)
2010-05-10 
12:31:01|9225|144:178|image|xCAT.pm:capture_monitor(1258)|image 


size is the same: 0=0, copy may be complete
2010-05-10 
12:31:01|9225|144:178|image|xCAT.pm:capture_monitor(1238)|image 


copy not complete, sleeping for 30 seconds

Notice the image size is 0 MB, meaning the partimage save isn't 
occurring. 
After 20 minutes of nothing being saved, it gives up. Can you watch the 
capture from the server console to verify that the PXE boot is running 
and 
that it's booting into the image capture mode? Do the log entries at the 



beginning of the imaging process show any errors?

Re: Incubator PMC/Board report for May 2010 (vcl-dev@incubator.apache.org)

My one comment regards:

A few people from the community have been contacted by PPMC members to see if 
they are interested in becoming committers.

Wouldn't the following be more accurate?

Linux base image creation

2010-05-11 Thread Kiran N
Hello All,
I am trying to create an Ubuntu base image. I have followed the instructions
as given in
https://cwiki.apache.org/VCL/create-a-linux-base-image.html
I am able to ssh on the private network(eth1) from my management node but I
am unable to ssh on the public network(eth0).
I start my ssh on public interface by /etc/init.d/ext_ssh start and it shows
a message saying SSH started successfully but actually there is no ssh port
which listens on public interface. Hence I am unable to ssh remotely.
Are there any extra changes to be made for an ubuntu base image? Any input
will be helpful!

Thanks,
Kiran
