You could also try installing sfdisk, which SI seems to prefer when
gathering disk information (at least on x86). Just try running
si_prepareclient again after installing sfdisk and see if the error has
disappeared.
sfdisk is installed. Is there something I have to do for it to prefer
sfdisk?
Anyway for the partition configuration you have sent, I believe that storing
the partition sizes in percent may not be the best choice. There is
(probably) no reason to scale the boot partition below or beyond the 107MB
assigned on your golden client, correct?
In this case it would be better to use the other method I described and
manually edit the autoinstallscript.conf to change the size of the second
partition to the special value "*". This way the boot partition will always
have 107MB and the second partition will get the remaining space on the
disk.
Cool. I will check out this option. Thanks for your help.

Hope I could help,

Hallo Jeremy,
this looks like a bug in SI. Possibly a bug in parsing the output from
parted. Could you post the output of manually running "parted -s --
/dev/cciss/c0d0 print"?
Thanks,
Thomas Krause

Betreff: Re: [sisuite-users] dynamic disk
I noticed the --unit % flag and this is what I get against an HP system:
si_prepareclient --server 10.10.10.10 -unit % Using "parted" to gather
information about disk:
/dev/cciss/c0d0
Illegal division by zero at
/usr/lib/systemimager/perl/SystemImager/Common.pm line 1040.
Is this a bug?

Hello Jeremy,
--autodetect-disks is only for identifying the correct device name at
installation time. The most common use is if you have some computers
that have scsi or sata drivers with sd* device names and others with
regular ide/pata drivers and hd* device names.
If you want systemimager to use all the disk space available when
creating partitions, you have to specify a single partition that
should get all the remaining disk space or save the partition sizes in
percent values instead of fixed megabytes. For the former I believe
you have to manually edit the autoinstallscript.conf and set the
partition size to the special value of "*". For the latter you can
pass the "--unit %" parameter to si_prepareclient.
See also "man autoinstallscript.conf".
Good luck,
Thomas Krause

Betreff: [sisuite-users] dynamic disk
I've been using systemimager for a long time now. I'm currently in an
environment that has a lot of different types of machines with many
different disk configurations. I'd like to apply the same image to
these different disk configs without having to have a different image
for each class.
I've tried using
-autodetect-disks
Try to detect available disks on the client instead of
using devices from autoinstallscript.conf.
which sounds logical, but so far it hasn't worked. It continues as if
disk sizes are fixed. I just upgraded to 4.0.2.
Is this possible with systemimager? What am I missing?
Thanks
