[sisuite-users] No support for PE1950/BCM5708 in releases? What version do I need?
Hello, I want to image a batch of PE1950s with Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme II BCM5708 Gigabit Ethernet (rev 12), but 4.0.4 doesn't detect them, and on IRC I was told 4.1.6 doesn't either. For BCM5708 support, do I need HEAD, Andrea's HEAD, Bernard's HEAD, trunk, or a custom initrd?

SALI supports a lot of hardware and we also tested it on a ProLiant DL160 G6. We also tested SALI on the following machines: - Poweredge 1850, 1950, m600, m610 and m710 - HP DL2x170h G6 - HP XW8200 Thanks, Chris On 8/16/10 12:42 PM, Bernard Li wrote: Hi Chris: Have you also tried UYOK? http://wiki.systemimager.org/index.php/UYOK Cheers, Bernard On Mon, Aug 16, 2010 at 8:09 AM, Dennis Stamdennis.s...@sara.nl wrote: Chris, You can try SALI: https://subtrac.sara.nl/oss/sali.

[sisuite-users] Booting from SALI, but install script doesn't run, fails when run manually
With SALI our nodes connect to the imageserver and fetch scripts, but they do not actually install. It's a bit confusing -- the VGA console shows the correct hostname (c15), runs 99all.harmless_example_script, then says No script defined, opening console, write_variables, and Starting console At this point I can type commands on the (virtual) USB keyboard and see input output on the serial console. Typing on the serial console is echoed but otherwise ignored -- very odd I discovered the c01.20100816.master script created by SI wasn't executable (is this fixed post-4.0.2?) and made it executable. But when I run the script manually parted chokes -- does SALI not support our Dell SAS 6 HBA? Thanks! Chris PS-If anyone wants a screenshot of the first failure on the VGA console dropping to a shell, just let me know -- I don't want to attach a screenshot to the list.

Tristam, I'm pretty sure our older installation of 4.0.2 detected this automatically from cluster.xml, but I will try tomorrow. Any ideas why parted is choking when I run the script manually? Thanks!

Systemimager does this fine, but it is listed as a current limitation of SALI on the webpage (https://subtrac.sara.nl/oss/sali). Any ideas why parted is choking when I run the script manually? Despite it being stated several places that SALI supports default system imager scripts, I didn't find that to be the case on our Dell cluster. I ended up writing a custom script using the newer 'partition' command, since I decided to support ext4 and grub2 as well. -- Tristam MacDonald http://swiftcoder.wordpress.com Sent from my iPad -- This SF.net email is sponsored by Make an app they can't live without Enter the BlackBerry Developer Challenge http://p.sf.net/sfu/RIM-dev2dev ___ sisuite-users mailing list sisuite-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/sisuite-users
