[Sisuite-users] Install error
Hi,
I get the following error while using the install script listed on the web site. Is there a version of this script available that works?
Thanks,

[Sisuite-users] Help! Noob question
Here is our goal and what I've done so far: Goal - to be able to reimage a server with a selected OS remotely (no cd or floppy available) So far: -installed systemimager server on machine eac225 (this OS won't change) -installed systemimager client on two machines (RHES 3 and SLES 9) - pulled images from both client machines Made sure Flamethrower was running on server and that and si_lsimage shows both images that I've gathered thus far. When I run the following command from eac225: si_pushupdate --client 10.0.1.226 --server eac225 --image eac.gi I get the following errors and the output from the --help option. Unknown option: server Unknown option: image si_pushupdate (part of SystemImager) version 3.4.1 I've RTFM several times but have thus far been able to make any progress. Suggestions, what am I doing wrong? Thanks!

Re: [Sisuite-users] Smart Array 6i cciss not loading
Seth/Peter/Anyone ! Unfortunately as you will note from muy first post I'm attempting to load RH EL 3 not 4 on the DL380 G4 so this will not solve my problem. I ran into problems when building 3.5.2 on RHEL3 and also when attempting to run si_prepareclient. I also have a installed base running off of 3.0.0 so I would like as little to change as possible. So back to trying to get 3.4.1 working on the DL380G4 ... I have attempted to force recognition of the driver by modifying the ./patches/linux.i386.config file such that CONFIG_BLK_CPQ_DA=y CONFIG_BLK_CPQ_CISS_DA=y I then remade all the packages(ie rpmbuild -ba /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/systemimager.spec). I then loaded the resultant boot pkg and made a bootable cd : - booting from the cd I eventually get the # prompt after the broadcast's fail(remmeber I normally use a local.cfg from floppy). - at this point /dev/cciss/disc0/disc ... exists however a parted still results in a No such device ... - I then attempted to boot again using the same cd but this time also included a floppy with a local.cfg on it(I had noted fromt he previous boot that the floppy is still referenced for local.cfg) - This time the local.cfg is read and the ping test is attempted to the image server. - the ping tests fails but on the subsequent rsync the script is received. - the script starts to runs and partially works : - old partition table via parted is displayed - new partitions are created(1-3 in my case) - mke2fs -f /dev/cciss/disc0/part3 || shellout works - tune2fs -L /dev/cciss/disc0/part3 works - mkdir -p /a/ || shellout works - mount /dev/cciss/disc0/part3 /a/ -t ext3 -o defaults || shellout FAILS -- I get failed: No such device - When I am in the shell after the failure I can manually run parted/mkde2fs/tune2fs successfully but the mount will always fail with No such device Ideas David K Livingstone CN Signals and Communications 10229 127 Avenue floor 2 Edmonton, AB, T5E 0B9 Ph : 780 472-3959 Fax : 780 472-3050 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Forwarded by David Livingstone/LIVING03/CNR/CA on 2005/09/12 15:18 - Seth Haines [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2005/09/08 12:15 Please respond to sisuite-users To:sisuite-users@lists.sourceforge.net cc: Subject:Re: [Sisuite-users] Smart Array 6i cciss not loading Some more info on this now: System Imager 3.5.1 uses the 2.6.10_boel_v3.5.2 Kernel. When it talks to the cciss device boel refers to the /dev as /dev/cciss/host0/target0/disc, where as the autoinstall script refers to the cciss device as /dev/cciss/disc0/disc, so no wonder I'm getting the error on boot saying that No such file or directory exists because the boel initrd cciss driver creates the wrong /dev structure! Also potentially of interest is the fact that the RedHat Enterprise Linux 4.0 cciss driver is around 250 kb give or take 10 kb, where as the boel is barely pushing 30 kb, something tells me that some features are going to be missing. The sad part is I've seen system imager work with a RHEL4 installation, but it was version 3.2.X, you just had to manually perform a grub-install off the recovery CD once the image had been put in place. Not exactly perfect. Here's the current thoughts: 1) I'm wondering whether or not it would be possible to get the make files for the boel kernel and build a new cciss driver based on the larger .c file that can be had from the RedHat installation (I'm thinking no, but it's a hope) I mean there has to be some way to get the /dev directory to populate with /dev/cciss/c0d0pX the way it should in order to match the volume labels and grub maps. 2) Editing the autoinstall script to switch all references from /dev/cciss/disc0/disc to /dev/cciss/host0/target0/disc. A find and replace may work, but then I'll probably be confronted with grub issues in the end. This however is an imperfect solution as changing an autoinstall script after every getimage would be a real pain! 3) Find another product... Ha. Doesn't HP have some Rapid Deployment package of some kind? Or is that just extremely similar to RedHat's kickstart?

I remember seeing some traffic back in mid July from Mark Seger (HP SystemImager Guru) but I never really saw the outcome of the discussion. I'm starting to go through the archives now to see if there is anything I can find. Incidentally you should consider installing the HP

David, With your pings timing out... Are you running a Cisco switch by chance? If so, port fast is probably keeping the port from coming up in time for the ping to succeed. Something to check. As to your mount issue. When you said that you checked the /dev/cciss directory what did you see listed under the disc0 section? Was there only a /dev/cciss/disc0/disc? Or were there also part1 part2 and part3 block devices? Just curious, because there should be. I assume with only 3 parts you're just running a /boot, swap, and / configuration correct? This morning I was able to successfully clone a RHEL4 system with 3.5.1 using a fairly modified version of the image.master file (manually creating the block devices and commenting out some of the finish sections) Surprisingly enough grub-install never really completed properly but upon boot everything came up magically. I'm taking this as a saving grace and running with it. Tomorrow I'll be testing out a RHEL4 Update 1 system to see if it has any changes.
