Re: [Oscar-users] Installation Problem with oscar 4.2

No route to host could be many problems. Here are a few thoughts, in no particular order. -TFTP service on the head node could be down for some reason. The usual reason is not clicking on "setup network boot" on the mac collection window, but there could be strange problems. -Try turning off th

Hi, I've got the same Pb with oscar 5.0 (PXE timeout) and all is Ok for the order in the bios and I've put all the mac adresses. In fact the head node attribute and IP via DHCP to the client node (this is ok) but after that it complains that TFTP . timeout ? Have you got an idea ? Thx Pra

Re: [Oscar-users] Installation Problem with oscar 4.2

That can depend a bit on your hardware, but generally it is an option in the BIOS under something like "boot order". Sometimes the network card names are not very obvious. If you are having trouble getting the MAC addresses via a network boot you can just put them in a text file (one per line) an

Re: [Oscar-users] Installation Problem with oscar 4.2

How do I network boot the clients? I tried just rebooting the clients nodes manually and I could get 5 MAC addresses out of 8. On 3/16/07, Michael Edwards <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Generally the easiest way to get the MAC addresses from the client nodes is to network boot them. This sends out

Re: [Oscar-users] Installation Problem with oscar 4.2

Generally the easiest way to get the MAC addresses from the client nodes is to network boot them. This sends out a DHCP request which the head node can hear (if you have pressed "Collect MAC Addresses" button) and get the MAC address of that client node from. Then once the MAC addresses have been

Hi, Thanks for the information. I have installed Oscar 5 on the head node. I have one more problem that I am facing while collecting the MAC address of the clients. When I move to step 6 to Setup Networking and collect Client MAC's I am only able to collect the MAC addresses of two of my client no

Re: [Oscar-users] Installation Problem with oscar 4.2

It sounds like you might be missing packages in tftpboot. You might want to double check that you copied over the rpms from all five install CDs, not just the ones used during installation. - Take Surveys. Earn Cash. Influenc

Re: [Oscar-users] Installation Problem with oscar 4.2

Hi Pravab, Can you double check to see if caching-nameserver is in your distro repo(e.g., /tftpboot/distro/redhat-el-ws-4-i386)? I think it should be there. My RHEL4-AS machine has it though. If you can not find in your distro repo, we can still find one on the web and then download it, right? htt

Ok, I think I got it all uploaded that time. Sourceforge's uploading interface is very clunky, so it is hard to tell sometimes. On 3/9/07, Michael Edwards <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > oops, I didn't read the numbers right before, my mistake. > > The original transfer must have been interrupted.

oops, I didn't read the numbers right before, my mistake. The original transfer must have been interrupted. I am attempting to correct the problem. On 3/9/07, Pravab J. Rana <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > I think I did do the export OSCAR_VERBOSE=5. I have attached the logfile so > that you

Re: [Oscar-users] Installation Problem with oscar 4.2

Hi, No, I will be surprised if oscar5.0 installation does not work well with WS because the packages built for AS should work fine with WS too. Anyways, the oscarinstall.log file is from 4.2[.1] or 5.0? I highly recommend you to try to use oscar 5.0 unless you have any particular reason to use 4.

Re: [Oscar-users] Installation Problem with oscar 4.2

On sourceforge the 4.2.1 file shows as oscar-4.2.1r5021-20060620.tar.gz 30885888 where the 4.2 package is a tad smaller at oscar-4.2.tar.gz

Re: [Oscar-users] Installation Problem with oscar 4.2

Hi, Its not AS its WS. Do let me know if you can help me out with it. I got stuck where it says to setup DNS and I cannot find the correct version of caching name server for it I had a question to oscar users about oscar 4.2.1. Is it an update as the file size is comparatively smaller to that of 4

Re: [Oscar-users] Installation Problem with oscar 4.2

Hi Pravab, What is the output of "cat /etc/redhat-release"? If the output is something like "Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 4 (Nahant)"(i.g., no update of RHEL4), I can help you out to install oscar 5.0 on your RHEL4. Regards, - DongInn Michael Edwards wrote: > If you want to try 4.x I wou

Re: [Oscar-users] Installation Problem with oscar 4.2

If you want to try 4.x I would strongly suggest using 4.2.1, which is posted on sourceforge. Also, you need to start from a fresh installation of RHEL 4. Just deleting the files in /opt/oscar will not get rid of all the pieces scattered about. Running the /opt/oscar/scripts/start_over script mig
