[Sisuite-users] Systemimager on SuSE 9.1

[Jyh-Shyong Ho]

Hi, I installed Systemimager on the server node of my dual xeon cluster running SuSE 9.1 (32bit), when I tried to run getimage as user root to retrive the system image from the golden-client node with command getimage -golden-client Orion-a1 -image Orion1207 I got the following error: ------------- Orion-a1 mounted_filesystems RETRIEVAL PROGRESS ------------- @ERROR: Unknown module 'root' rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (42 bytes read so far) rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(342) ------------- Orion-a1 mounted_filesystems RETRIEVAL FINISHED ------------- Failed to retrieve /etc/systemimager/mounted_filesystems from Orion-a1. getimage: Have you run "prepareclient" on Orion-a1?           If you see the message "unrecognised option" above, check           http://systemimager.org/download/ to be sure that you are running           the recommended version of rsync. However, I am able to use command as user root rsync Orion-a1:/etc/systemimager/mounted_filesystems . to copy the file mounted_filesystems from node Orion-a1 to the server node (root password is required), so rsync seems OK. On the second dual Opteron cluster running SuSE9.1 for AMD64 (64-bit), I am able to run getimage command, but the system image of the golden-client cannot be retrieved successfully: ..... wrote 2103984 bytes  read 3793665491 bytes  21505776.06 bytes/sec total size is 3962168661  speedup is 1.04 rsync error: some files could not be transferred (code 23) at main.c(1060) ------------- Eurus21207 IMAGE RETRIEVAL FINISHED ------------- getimage: Failed to retrieve image Eurus21207 from Eurus2. The rsync version in SuSE 9.1 is rsync-2.6.2-8.6. I have no idea what might be wrong, any suggestion is appreciated.
