Hi,
we are trying to install oscar 3.0 but computenode installation fails :(
Hardware:
Headnode: hp proliant dl380 g3
Computenodes: 16x proliant dl360 g3 with smart array controller 5i
Software:
Redhat 8
oscar 3.0
hp driver for networkcards
We created this disk file:
/dev/cciss/c0d0p1 128 ext3 /boot defaults
/dev/cciss/c0d0p2 2048 swap
/dev/cciss/c0d0p3 * ext3 / defaults
nfs_oscar:/home - nfs /home rw
Systemimager creates a installation script (oscarnode1.sh) and uses this devices:
.
.
.
### BEGIN partition /dev/cciss/c0d0p ###
echo "Partitioning /dev/cciss/c0d0p..."
echo "Old partition table for /dev/cciss/c0d0p:"
parted -s -- /dev/cciss/c0d0p print
# Create disk label. This ensures that all remnants of the old label, whatever
# type it was, are removed and that we're starting with a clean label.
echo "parted -s -- /dev/cciss/c0d0p mklabel msdos || shellout"
parted -s -- /dev/cciss/c0d0p mklabel msdos || shellout
.
.
.
With my understanding of what is going on at client installation - devfs is used and device names for the
smartarray controller change in this invronment to:
/dev/cciss/disc0/disc (hole disk)
/dev/cciss/disc0/part1 (for a partition)
Is this a bug in the systemimager part of oscar?
Is our diskfile in the right syntax?
Could you provide us a working example of disk file with smart array controller?
It would be good to get rid of the smart array controller but actually its not possible with
proliant dl360 g3 modell :-(
We are working under heay timepreassure, so a quick answer would be great.
Thank you for your support
