Hi Andrew:
While we can definitely help you with multicast, have you
considered using the new BitTorrent transport (which is included in the version
of SystemImager you have installed)?
I am much more familiar with bittorrent than
flamethrower/multicast and can provide you with more help.
Here are some documentation regarding
BitTorrent:
Cheers,
Bernard
Dear
listmembers,
I've read
all the posts about flamethrower/multicast issues but couldn't find a solution
to my problem. I have to transfer a 33GB image onto 20 PC-s and I want to use
multicast install. I'm using systemImager 3.7.4r3734_bli and flamethrower
0.1.8. Everything works well, the clients boot up using PXE network boot,
flamethrower_directory, autoinstall_scripts, boel_binaries get transfered via
tar pipe. But when it comes to transfering the main image, it waits for the
tar pipe from the server forever:
Listening
to multicast ....
Nothing
happens after this, it stucks forever at this step.
I read
that large images (above 1GB), the tmpfs gets full and install bails out with
an error, but it seems to have been corrected and the untar writes directly to
the disk instead of ramdisk. Am I right? I don't even get any error messages.
On the server, the udp-sender and tar processes are sleeping (S or D) and even
there is no network traffic between the server and the clients, neither disk
activity on the clients.
I'm
posting this letter because I feel totally lost with installing my CAD
laboratory using multicast install (unicast with rsync method works) and think
I have read all the relevant topics but nothing helped.
Please
give me an advice how to solve this!
Thank you
in advance!
Cheers
Andrew
