Re: Debian fai server, sles11sp3 nodes

Thanks Thomas.

Unfortunately there is not much to add to the wiki. We have exploring other
(non-fai) ways to do the deployment as we have found several difficulties
and we have a deadline soon for this system to be up and running.

Regards,

Hi Salva,

you can get a wiki account to add this by yourself if you like.

Hi Thomas.

Thanks a lot for your quick reply. If we write new documentation about the
process we will send it to you in case you want to add it to the wiki...

Frohes Weihnachtsfest.

First you have to create a basefile for SLES11. Use the rinse command
for that and put the resulting file into the config space under
basefiles. Then adjust the task repository, to get access to the
package repository. I'm not sure if SLES is using yum or zypper.
Finaly you have to adjust some package names in package_config/ and
check if the customzisation scripts in scripts/ are woring for SLES.

Happy holidays to all of you

Debian fai server, sles11sp3 nodes

[Salva .]

Hi all.

I'm new to the list and a FAI intermediate user. Bad date to ask, I know,
so happy holidays :-)

We have used FAI 4.x in the recent past with Debian server and nodes with
no big issues. Now we are trying to deploy it on a wheezy server but we
need to deploy SLES11 SP3 on the nodes.

There is some outdated information about SLES in the wiki but it gets back
to SLES9 and I have been doing searches and reading about the topic in the
mailing list archive and the information is quite outdated too (FAI 3.x).

I'm not sure on how/where to start and I would really apreciate if someone
has experience with this kind of deployment and can help with hints,
documentation, or whatever you might think it's useful to achieve results
without getting too much lost.

Thanks in advance.
