With SALI our nodes connect to the imageserver and fetch scripts, but
they do not actually install. It's a bit confusing -- the VGA console shows the
correct hostname (c15), runs 99all.harmless_example_script, then says "No
script defined, opening console", "write_variables", and "Starting console...".
At this point I can type commands on the (virtual) USB keyboard and see
input & output on the serial console. Typing on the serial console is echoed
but otherwise ignored -- very odd
I discovered the c01.20100816.master script created by SI wasn't
executable (is this fixed post-4.0.2?) and made it executable.
But when I run the script manually parted chokes -- does SALI not
support our Dell SAS 6 HBA?
Thanks!
Chris
PS-If anyone wants a screenshot of the first failure on the VGA console
dropping to a shell, just let me know -- I don't want to attach a screenshot to
the list.
