Re: [xcat-user] genimage on old CentOS 7.4

2021-10-28 Thread Vinícius Ferrão via xCAT-user

Unfortunately not.

Well so the “right thing” would be copycds again. I’m not sure if downgrading 
now would be an option since the headnode is already running 7.9.

Inside the images I was “YOLO” and ran “yum -u update” against public 
repositories.

Thank Mark. Is there’s any other ideia please let me know.

Re: [xcat-user] Porting to New Architectures

2021-10-28 Thread John Leidel

Nate, thanks for the update.  Unfortunately, we're somewhat stuck by the
"newness" of the platform.  We don't have RV64G support for any Ubuntu
releases prior to 21.04 (ugh!).  The PR you referenced doesn't appear to be
too terribly difficult to follow.  I may try to manually patch my local
source and make the necessary architecture mods.  I know this is not the
preferred path, but I may be able to crawl through this...

Re: [xcat-user] Porting to New Architectures

2021-10-28 Thread Nathan A Besaw




Hi John,

It appears to me that you are tackling two difficult tasks at the same
time:
1.) Porting xCAT to rv64g architecture
2.) Modifying xCAT for Ubuntu 21.04 support

It may be easier to tackle these items one at a time.
The newest version of Ubuntu that is officially supported by xCAT is Ubuntu
18.04.2.
Starting with this version for the porting effort to rv64g will be easier
than starting with Ubuntu 21.04 as it is currently well tested on x86_64
and ppc64le.
After you get Ubuntu 18.04.2 rv64g support working, then you can try to
tackle getting Ubuntu 21.04 working (which is currently not well supported
by xCAT).

For the port work, choose either x86_64 or ppc64le and then add code for
rv64g that follows the approach of one of the working architectures.
Start by modifying the build script to build rv64g versions of all of the
packages that are normally built for amd64/x86_64 (or ppc/ppc64le).
If you can get the packages built, then you will have to search the code
for references to the specific architecture handling sections and add new
sections for rv64g.

For Ubuntu 21.04, there is an open pull request to add Ubuntu 20.04 support
to xCAT:
https://github.com/xcat2/xcat-core/pull/6975
This PR has not yet been merged into an official release, but this is most
likely the best starting point for attempting to get Ubuntu 21.04 working.

Nate

All, I apologize for the rather random first message to the list, but
I'm in the process of bringing up a cluster of RISC-V (rv64g) devices.
I've been reading through the developer documentation as well as the
various scripts on Github.  I believe I've been able to get the
xCat-Core infrastructure to build natively on the management node
(Ubuntu 21.04).  Does anyone have any pointers on porting xCat to new
architectures and where to go next?

After installing the required dependencies, I did the following:

build-ubunturepo SETUP=1
build-ubunturepo -c BUILDALL=1 SETUP=0 LOCAL_KEY=1

I modified the `build-ubunturepo` script to ignore amd64 and ppc for
now.  This is what I find in terms of the built deb's.
