hi David,
Thanks a lot for your report.
Thanks also for the patch. It is not yet integrated because I want to have a
deterministic way of managing firmwares. I don't want to end in a situation
when errors occure because guy A had installed a package and guy B didn't.
I think that the best way for the moment is to add command line switch to
include system installed firmwares . By this way, the user will known that the
problem can come from a missing firmware.
For the L switch, I understand that it is needed for the firmware sync, but
this triggers some problems elsewhere were files a copied twice instead of
having a link and a file.
using L switch is a quick hack but the image gets even bigger (already very
big).
I'm aware of both issues, and I'll find a solution.
The freeze problem is more problematic. Did you try without using LVM? If it
works, then it may be a bad lvm tools build (using system libs instead of
initrd built libs..... I tryed to fix most of them, but lvm may be one of them.
Best regards,
PS: Right now, I'm working on debian systemimager oscar-packager. I'll be back
soon.
Olivier.

Objet : Re: [sisuite-users] beta7 bug fixed => beta8 WAS: systemimager
4.3.0-0.7 available for testing
Olivier,
Finally had a chance to test from a client running beta8 to a server running
beta8. Both client and server are running rhel 6.4 x86_64.
- I prepared the images as both uyok and without and both worked. No problem
with the getimage from the server.
- I then attempted to load the client with the image I had created. I attempted
this with both the standard kernel and the uyok.
Both worked up to the point in the script when lvcreate was executed. At this
point the load/system would hang(reset required).
See the log below. To restore I loaded from a server running a slightly older
version( systemimager-server-4.3.0-0.2.el6.noarch)
which did not have this problem.
Also note for reasons I have stated in the past I also modified
UseYourOwnKernel.pm as follows :
[root@wild1 130408]# diff
/usr/lib/systemimager/perl/SystemImager/UseYourOwnKernel.pm UseYourOwnKernel.pm

Olivier,
Thanks. That does it. I still need to test loading the image. I will let you
know.

Hi,
The issue has been fixed.
I wonder how it could work on V0.2. There were 2 bugs:
One that I introduced when I wanted to match kernel 3.x kernels with x >2
But there was also a bug in initrd detection. the routine was unable to check
for initramfs files. If no initrd file was available, the error should have
triggered as well....
Anyway,
It's hopefully fixed and should be available shortly for fedora, rhel-6 and
debian-7-x86_64 soon here:
http://svn.oscar.openclustergroup.org/repos/unstable/
The source rpm (and tarball) will be available here soon as well:
http://svn.oscar.openclustergroup.org/pkgs/downloads/

Hi,
Thanks a lot for this report, I'll try to understand the issue ASAP.
0.2 has the same code as 0.7 (differences are on the initrd and boot packages
which are very different).
Regards,
Olivier.

Olivier,
I installed on a rhel 6.4 client and get the below error message when
attempting to prepare the client. If I install
4.3.0-0.2 this does not happen.
systemimager-common-4.3.0-0.7.el6.noarch
systemimager-x86_64initrd_template-4.3.0-0.7.el6.noarch
systemimager-client-4.3.0-0.7.el6.noarch
- same error on vccs3 using --no-uyok and without - We get :
- [root@mtl-vccs03d ~]# si_prepareclient --no-uyok --server 165.115.83.125
...
This client is ready to have its image retrieved. You must now run
the "si_getimage" command on your imageserver.
Automatically create configuration file for systemconfigurator:

WARNING: unable to auto-detect kernel file!

Olivier,
Thanks ! I will download and test on rhel 6.x). BTW I am currently using your
previous build(4.3.0-0.2 std kernel only) on rhel 6.x with the restrictions
we have corresponded about.

Hi,
I've uploaded the rpms for systemimager beta version V4.3.0 (beta7)
I've built it for fedora-17 and centos-6.3
They are available here:
http://olivier.lahaye1.free.fr/OSCAR/repos/unstable/<http://olivier.lahaye1.free.fr/OSCAR/repos/unstable/>
Note that you can install the oscar-release rpm which will setup the
yum.repo.d/oscar.repo.
Usage notes:
- The pre install script required to modprobe disk controlers is not required
anymore. (leave comments in it)
- the post install scripts
(si_scripts.tar.bz2<http://olivier.lahaye1.free.fr/RPMS/extra/si_scripts.tar.bz2>)
are usefull for grub setup (systemconfigurator not yet ported for new grub,
grub2 and other bootloaders and Network manager) Just comment everything in the
pre_install script.
Firmwares available in the image are those that can be built from the kernel
source tree. No external firmware is provided yet (need to check EULA).
Please keep in mind that this is a testing release. If you have a systemimager
that is in production, don't upgrade).
Happy testing.
