Having trouble installing image made from golden client onto a
non-golden client.
Installed SystemImager 4.1.6 on server (192.168.1.10) and on golden
client (ws46)
Ran (on ws46) si_preparclient --server 192.168.1.10
Ran (on server) si_getimage --golden-client 192.168.1.146 --image ws-ng
--post-install reboot
Started systemimager-server-rsyncd on server
Verified port 873 for rsync is open on server firewall (we use it
regularily)
I defined my target clients using si_clusterconfig -e as follows:
<group>
<name>wsng</name>
<!--
image wsng is created/updated from golden client ws46
-->
<priority>10</priority>
<image>wsng</image>
<!--
Also a group can have multiple overrides. The same
rules for multiple values of the global overrides are
valid also here.
-->
<override>wsng</override>
<override>wsng-data</override>
<node>ws40,ws41,ws42,ws44,ws46,ws47,ws48,ws49</node>
</group>
I retained the default <override>all</override> and the
<group><name>local....
but removed the Storage group, etc.
I merged the results of si_mkbootserver into our existing DHCP and
tftpboot/PXE configuration. I am able to net boot the target clients
and from the menu boot SystemRescueCD, some diagnostics, OR
SystemImager. The menu stanza for booting SystemImager looks as follows
and seems to work (at least until I hit the errors below which do not
seem to have anything to do with the PXE stuff).
---------------------------------
...
label systemimagerstd
MENU LABEL SystemImager standard
kernel systemimager/i386/standard/kernel
append initrd=systemimager/i386/standard/initrd.img root=/dev/ram
MONITOR_SERVER=192.168.1.10 MONITOR_CONOSOLE=yes ramdisk_size=80000
----------------------------------
When I PXE boot the target client with the above everything chunks along
nicely
(rsync -av ... boel_binaries.tar.gz... works fine, rsync scripts works
fine, etc.)
until I get the following message.
-------------------------
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Installation failed! Stopping report task.
nc: cannot connect to remote host (192.168.1.10): Connection refused
-------------------------
At this point
I can ping 192.168.1.10 and the scripts/ directory has been populated
(so the installation obviously can connect to 192.168.1.10)
-------------------------
/tmp/si.log
...
This hosts name is ws40.temporalarts.com
run_pre_install_scripts
>>> 99all.harmless_example_script
choose_autoinstall_script
FATAL: couldn't find any of the following autoinstall scripts!
---
/scripts/ws40.temporalarts.com.sh /scripts/ws40.temporalarts.com.master \
/scripts/ws.sh /scripts/ws.master
---
...
----------------------------
QUESTION 1: Is defining the target clients in a group via
si_clusterconfig -e sufficient? That is, do I have to run something
and/or manually make links or something after exiting si_clusterconfig?
I did not run si_mkautoinstallscript because the Quick Start and manual
implied running si_clusterconfig was sufficient.
QUESTION 2: Are there naming conventions that must be used when defining
groups in si_clusterconfig -e and in /etc/hosts? Having defined the
group as wsng with image named wsng I would have expected it to look for
scripts ws40.temporalarts.com..., ws40..., wsng.sh, wsng.master but it
does not. The error messages would imply the root of the node names
must match the image name or somesuch.
QUESTION 3: What step/config am I missing and/or suggestions for
figuring that out?
COMMENT 1: It would be really helpful if the man pages (and/or manual)
noted what files a given command produced and/or changed. Running the
commands in the quick start and/or installation guide can really blow an
existing configuration right out of the water.
