I'm not sure if I should be taking this up on the 'users' list, but I'm 
sure you'll tell me if that's more apropriate!  8-)

Anyhow, now that I have things working solidly on our dl360s, I thought 
I'd try out our opterons.  I started by doing a clean install of 
rhel4/update3 and this time instead of changed the default disk 
configuration with disk druid, which got me down a whole different set 
of problems, I just accepted the default and told the installer to put 
everything on a single disk.

My first sign of problems was when I did a 'getimage' and at the very 
end was told:

"Are you satisfied? ([y]/n):
WARNING: LVM partition "/dev/sda2" is not assigned to any group!
WARNING: LVM partition "/dev/sdb1" is not assigned to any group!
WARNING: LVM partition "/dev/sdc1" is not assigned to any group!
WARNING: LVM group "VolGroup00" doesn't have partitions!
Would you like to run the "si_addclients" utility now? (y/[n]):"

I had no way of knowing if this was a big deal or not, but when I tried 
to load the image onto a different machine, the fun began when my 
autoinstall script began executing.  It did print out what looked like a 
valid partition table for /sda but then it also said:
"SCSI device dsa: drive cache: write through w/ FUA
  sda: unknown patition table"
however, it did look like it then successfully recreated things, 
printing out what looked like a valid new table.  It also did the exact 
same thing for sdb an sdc.

It then went into the RAID section and finally into:

Load device mapper driver (for LVM)
device-mapper: 4.5.0-ioctl (2005-10-04) initialised: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
lvcreate -L33325056K -n LogVol00 VolGroup00 || shellout
  Volume group "VolGroup00" doesn't exist
Killing off running processes.

and then it died.  I should point out I'm running 
systemimager-client-3.7.4r3676_arighi-1 on both the client and image 
server.  As usual, let me know what other details you need...
