Geoffroy,
Fixing /etc/hosts did not affect node imaging with either rsync or
multisync whatsoever. Both fail as before, rsync in 3mins and multisync
after 11min when "finalizing" (this is before I provide an
"override_(nodename)").
One idea - in using either rsync or multisync to attempt imaging a node, I
never once specified anywhere configurations for individual nodes (other
than NIC MACs and serial numbers, mine are all identical), yet under
multisync flamethrower was asked to pass over an override file tailored to
the node I was trying to test ("wulf004", namely the file
"override_wulf004"). I don't think this should happen. Although perhaps
that what "multisync" is intended to do.
Instead of making a dedicated entry for "override_wulf004", I tried simply
providing a link in /var/lib/systemimager/flamethrower/modules pointing to
the default override image (override_oscarimage) called override_wulf004,
and attempted a multisync imaging of node 4.
Guess what - it seemed to get this successfully. And then, according to
/tmp/si.log on the node, died as soon as it started the next step,
detecting for systemconfigurator:

I'll return to this on monday.
I would still be very very interested in exactly what buttons you pushed
in what elements of the Oscar wizard gui to obtain what results (e.g.,
when you configure packages in Step 3, are you only presented with "sis"
to configure, despite selecting everything ("Default", and then ticking
"ganglia" and "opium" so they're selected like the rest) in the previous
step?) when you successfully deployed clusters on CentOS 5.2 x86_64.

All,
I just release Selector-1.1 that:
1/ disable the "Manage Set" button from the GUI, the GUI code is yet not ready
to support that capability,
2/ add a oscar-selector script that supports the management of package sets (for more
details, please refer to the man page "man oscar-selector").
I hope it will help at least Felipe in what he tries to do.
Comments and bug reports are more than welcome. :-)

Dear list,
I've managed to have my nodes up & running, but without all the software needed.
Some facts:
- - Distro: CentOS 5.2 x86_64
- - Oscar: 6.0.1 && unstable
When selecting packages (Step 1, oscar_wizard install), there are very few
packages. This
is when I compare to other distros (see /usr/share/oscar/package_sets/Default):
rhel-5-x86_64.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<package_set>
<name>Default</name>
<packages>
<opkg>base</opkg>
<opkg>c3</opkg>
<opkg>ganglia</opkg>
<opkg>oda</opkg>
<opkg>opium</opkg>
<opkg>sc3</opkg>
<opkg>selinux</opkg>
<opkg>sis</opkg>
<opkg>sync-files</opkg>
<opkg>yume</opkg>
</packages>
</package_set>
I've created a new set of packages, in a new file called 'centos-5-x86_64.xml'
(in the
same dir). Basically, the ones from fedora distros, and packages with different
names renamed.
Now I have a better package list for my clients:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<package_set>
<name>Default</name>
<packages>
<opkg>apitest</opkg>
<opkg>base</opkg>
<opkg>c3</opkg>
<opkg>disable-services</opkg>
<opkg>ganglia</opkg>
<opkg>jobmonarch</opkg>
<opkg>lam</opkg>
<opkg>linux-ha</opkg>
<opkg>loghost</opkg>
<opkg>maui</opkg>
<opkg>mpich</opkg>
<opkg>mta-config</opkg>
<opkg>netbootmgr</opkg>
<opkg>networking</opkg>
<opkg>ntpconfig</opkg>
<opkg>oda</opkg>
<opkg>openmpi</opkg>
<opkg>opium</opkg>
<opkg>pvm</opkg>
<opkg>rapt</opkg>
<opkg>sc3</opkg>
<opkg>sge</opkg>
<opkg>sis</opkg>
<opkg>switcher</opkg>
<opkg>sync-files</opkg>
<opkg>torque</opkg>
<opkg>yume</opkg>
</packages>
</package_set>
But now in the wizard I can't configure packages (as I did before in other
installation).
...
So I decided to 'Manage Sets', and create 'New All'. This error is what I've
obtained:

....
So package modification isn't working. As a result of this, I can't manage to
have a
decent client image, with all the needed software (torque, maui, etc.).
I've tried to do a clean install, but packages never get installed in client
image. Of
course, I can make an installation using rpm --root.. but I don't think this
was the
original idea :)
Any thoughts?
Felipe.
