Hi last week I've got troubles with systemimager 4.1.4 on the client side. My basic OS is CentOS 5.1 (hardware: SUN Fire X4150). All setup steps with si_prepareclient/si_getimage went well; PXE-booting/installation was ok, too. Then the trouble on the client side: as soon as I executed the command "si_updateclient --server myserver --image myimage" to update the clients, the clients couldn't get their IPs via the DHCP after a reboot (all eth? were gone).
And this problem didn't occure if I re-installed the clients via the PXE by using the same image. At the end, it turned out that si_updateclient updated the file /etc/sysconfig/hwconf each time when I ran it. My fix to avoid the file /etc/sysconfig/hwconf on the client side updated: putting /etc/sysconfig/hwconf into /etc/systemimager/updateclient.local.exclude so that it looks as: # RedHat stuff /etc/HOSTNAME /etc/sysconfig/network /etc/sysconfig/hwconf /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-* . This fixed it. Or is there another way around this? A lot of thanks to your guys making/keeping this nice package available/updated.
