My lab has been experimenting with Systemimager for the past few weeks with mixed results. Our inital builds used the Sun V65 for the server machine and a collection of LX50s for the target/clients. This deployment went very well. We were very impressed with the tool and excited to be able to use it for some future projects.
Our problems started when we moved to V60s as the client/ target machines. We encountered the issue of not being able to partition a disk because the disk was not found. This was what have learned from reading your newsgroup is the classic aic79xx driver dilemma. Since then we have tried several things suggested by the manual, the help pages and the newsgroup. We tried moving the modules scsi_mod.o and aic79xx.o to my_modules, adding instructions to the INSMOD file and rebuilding the kernel. We tried moving from the stable 3.01 to the unstable 3.1.5 release because it looked like there was support for aic79xx. We even tried replacing the SIS kernel with a RH ES2.1 kernel only to get ramdisk errors. Before we wander down any more dark holes on our own, I wanted to ask the builders and the community if anyone has had success with this tool and Sun V6x clients. If so, where have we gone wrong? We've also examined the patches and we are unclear where we might want to jump in. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. The initial success with this tool showed us what we might do. Now if we can just use it on a wider variety of Sun boxes, we would have something pretty exciting. If you can help get us there, we would appreciate it. -- Stan Heller Systems Engineer Sun Microsystems Professional Services Customer Ready Systems (415) 254-5667 ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email sponsored by: ApacheCon 2003, 16-19 November in Las Vegas.
