Hi Josh,

I was able to get the following things done in respect to getting VCL to work on POWER.

1. Made modifications in the xcat tables to get the capture process working with statelite images instead of stateless images. Particularly the noderes & bootparams table.

2. Used partimage to capture the images (did NOT set usepartimageng to 1).

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root    0 Jul  5 16:38 compute.img.capturedone
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root    0 Jul  5 15:58 compute.img.capturefailed
-rw------- 1 root root 6.5M Jul  5 16:07 compute-parta2.gz
-rw------- 1 root root 679M Jul  5 16:10 compute-parta3.gz
-rw------- 1 root root  23M Jul  5 16:38 compute-parta6.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  512 Jul  5 16:07 compute-sda.mbr
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  363 Jul  5 16:07 compute-sda.sfdisk


2 partitions including the boot partition present on the blade were captured under /install/image/ppc64/. Initially, RHEL 5 was installed on a 600 GB partition due to which the capture process failed. The image of the partition was generated once the partition size was reduced to 6GB. Is it necessary for me to use partimage-ng instead of partimage itself?

When proceeding further with "vcld --setup", the script was not able to find the images that were created using partimage. The options that are provided in the script does not allow for selecting an architecture other than x86/x86_64. Also, in the error log vcld is looking for

/opt/xcat/share/xcat/install/image/rh5image-power010701bi34-v0.tmpl

and cannot find the template file. Should the template file that needs to be accessed in this case be createimage.ppc64.tmpl?

I have attached a log at the end of the mail. I am not sure where I have gone wrong with the VCL configuration.

Sunil,

"nodeset<nodename>  image" sets up all the xCAT stuff so that the next time
the node is booted, it will boot the stateless/statelite image and capture an
image of the node.

Can you double check that you have 'os' in the nodetype table set to image for
the node you are using?  If you look in the partimageng.pm xCAT module, you
see toward the top where it registers the "handled_commands".  The "mk" gets
stripped off.  So, that module is registering "install" and "image" for os
type = "image".  As long as you have os in the nodetype table set to image, it
should be using that module.

You will need to make sure you have all of the required files in locations
using 'ppc64' as the arch.

Hi,

Update !

I was able to fix the problem that I was facing with the scripts by
disabling the firewall. But, I still have a problem with the command-

nodeset<nodename>  image

Unless this error is fixed, I don't think partimage will work. Am I right
here?

Thanks,

Josh,

I have reached a point where I am able to boot the ppc using the
statelite images created using genimage. But, I was wondering how
significant the following command is.

nodeset<nodename>  image

I got the same error that Prem had mentioned.


power01: Error: Unable to identify plugin for this command, check
relevant tables: nodetype.os
Error: Some nodes failed to set up image resources, aborting

I tried changing the 'os' field to 'image' under nodetype, that doesn't
seem to help. I get the same error even after the change. 'arch' in my
case is set to 'ppc64'.


Also, I think partimage plugin needs to be changed to support the ppc
architecture, from what you had mentioned in the other thread.

I am not sure what the command 'nodeset<nodename>  image' does, but, I am
able to boot the statelite images by making changes to the yaboot
configuration files. The ppc blade currently uses LVM, that needs to be
replaced with ext2/ext3 from what I read from the other thread, am I
right? Also, just out of curiosity I left the statelite image to boot
with my current setting. I can see the xcat script throwing an error-

/opt/xcat/xcatdsklspost: line 229: /xcatpost/getpostscript.awk: No such
file or directory
/tmp/mypostscript: line 16: updateflag.awk: command not found

both getpostscript.awk&  updateflag.awk are not found in the rootimg
created by genimage. Is there any place I could find these scripts?

Also, please correct me if there is anything wrong with the procedure I
am following.


Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Sunil

Sunil,

  From what I remember, I didn't have to do much to the rootimg.gz image
  to

make
it work.  I created the files I supply before xCAT started using
"statelite"
instead of "stateless".  I think statelite uses NFS to mount the image,
and
stateless uses an image file downloaded to the node and run out of RAM.

  Since

generating a statelite image is pretty straightforward use of xCAT, you
may
want to ask on the xcat-user email list for help with it.

Unless you can have the admins of the other dhcp server on your network
exclude the MAC addresses of your blades, you'll need to create a
separate private network to control your VCL stuff, either physically
or with VLANs.

If they can exclude the MACs, you can set up the dhcp server on your
management node to only answer to requests from your blades.

Josh,

Again, Thank you for your valuable inputs. I have got to the point
where I can get the compute node to boot using the stateless images. I
had to manually configure the netboot since we already had a DHCP
server which is not the same as our Management node. Since our setup
is not in an isolated environment, I could not let xcat handle the
dhcp&   netboot configuration (it messed up out network configuration
when i let xcat handle it,we had 2 dhcp servers running at that
point). Are you aware of any way to let xcat handle such scenarios?

Although I am able to get the compute node to boot with the kernel
image&   initrd, and NFS mount the rootimg that was generated using
'genimage', I am getting the following error on the compute node's
console -

      FATAL error: could not get the entries from litefile table...

after going thru the init-scripts, I found out 'xCATCmd' binary is not
present in the rootimg. I am currently checking the xcat packages for
its availability. If you know the procedure to get it onto the compute
node, please let me know the same.

Appreciate your support.

Thanking you,
Sunil

Sunil,

I don't recall seeing any documentation on those parts.  I had to poke
around looking at parts of xCAT to see how it worked.  It's been a few
years since I did that; so, I don't remember much about the process.
My recommendation would be to start looking at things in the
rootimg.gz image.  Looking at it now, I see that
/opt/xcat/xcatdsklspost gets run when rootimg.gz boots.  It looks
like it downloads all of the postscripts from the management node and
then run getpostscript.awk which issues a command to xcatd to get the
primary postscript for that machine.  I've forgotten how xcatd then
builds the primary postscript. I do remember that in the
partimageng.pm module, I had it add the partimageng postscript.

So, you'll really have to start digging through how the xcat
postscript system works.

Is there any place I could find some details on

"... /Once the compute node is booted with the stateless

I have the stateless images ready with partimage compiled for PPC.
For the compute node (power 7) to boot using the stateless images, i
need to
configure the yaboot instead of pxeboot (which is specific to x86). I
wanted to know where in the startup files the execution of partimage
and
NFS mount is configured. Is it configured by the "genimage" command
itself? Considering the way in which the nodes are configured in the
network, it would not be a good idea to let xcat take care of
configuring the details like DHCPD for netboot. So, I need to make
changes to the configuration files manually, which is why this query
came up.

Thanks in advance.

Sunil

Sunil,

The "stateless" image I refer to is what is actually booted on the
compute node containing the image to be captured.  It's called
stateless because it is loaded completely in RAM and does not
maintain any state when a reboot occurs.

The partimage binary is part of this stateless image and actually
runs on the compute node.  It does not run on the management node.
The management node does not have block level access to the disk on
the compute node to be able to capture the image from the disk.

I'll try to describe the process a little better.  The management
node issues a reboot command to the compute node.  The compute node
uses PXE
to load and boot a kernel (vmlinuz), initial RAM disk (initrd.img),
and
a root filesystem (rootimg.gz) from the management node.  All three
of these together make up the stateless image.  Once the compute
node is booted with the stateless image, it uses NFS to mount some
things from the management node, and then runs some xcat
postscripts, one of which is the partimageng postscript.  This
postscript determines what partitions are on the compute node and,
depending on how the postscript
is configured, uses partimage or partimageng to capture an image of
the
compute node disk that is then saved to the management node. When it
is
finished capturing the image, it notifies xcat on the management
node and then reboots.  xcat reconfigures itself to tell the
compute node to
boot off of disk at next boot.  When the compute node comes up, it
uses
PXE to ask the management node how to boot.  The management node
tells it to boot off of disk.

I hope that clarifies how the system works.  If any of it is
unclear, please ask for further clarification.

Josh,

I had one more clarification.

partimage binaries run in the management node to capture an
(stateless) image from the compute node right? In that case, is
there a need for these binaries to go into the rootimg.gz??

My assumption is, partimage runs on the management node (an intel
blade in our case) to capture a stateless image from a compute node
(a power 7 blade) and stores these images under " /install " of the
management node. Please correct me if I am wrong here.

to enable partimage support for xcat. I wasn't sure if I need to
change references to x86&      x86_64 (as directories) to reflect
the
ppc architecture, as the web page says "The architecture for the
node must always be set to x86 for this..". I have with me the
vmlinuz (kernel image) and initrd for the capture process. The 2
nodeset commands
By this, do you mean you have vmlinuz and initrd for your power
blades, not the ones linked to off of the page you listed above?
If you do, that's a good start.  However, you'll also need
rootimg.gz. rootimg.gz is the root filesystem for the stateless
image.  It also contains the partimage and partimageng binaries.
Assuming partimage or partimageng can actually capture partitions
from power systems, you'll need to compile at least one of them
to run on power.  For the rootimg.gz image I provided, I compiled
them statically so that I didn't have to worry about including
any library dependencies in rootimg.gz.

It would be a good idea to research how to use xcat's genimage
command to generate stateless images to learn how to do this.

If there's any part of the above that you don't fully understand,
please ask me to clarify it.  Until you have a stateless image
that you can deploy to your power blades, there's no point in
trying to debug any VCL specific items.
