Re: [sisuite-users] Getting SU 4.1.6 si_prepareclient to work on SLES 11 SP1 64-bit
sorry for the delay in getting back to this... After installing the latest 4.2.0 development snapshot, was able to run si_prepareclient and si_getimage without any problems. I am however now having a different problem. I didn't see what the error message was, but when I imaged a server using the new image, it reboots and comes up to a blank screen. I'm going to try and get the error that systemconfigurator is giving. Not sure if it will help, but I have a server, that I have the 4.2.0 version installed, that I tried to execute si_updateclient and failed. Here are the RPM's that are installed and the error: rpm -qa | grep systemimager systemimager-i386initrd_template-4.1.99.svn4556_bli-1 systemimager-x86_64initrd_template-4.1.99.svn4556_bli-1 systemimager-client-4.1.99.svn4556_bli-1 systemimager-common-4.1.99.svn4556_bli-1 si_updateclient --server str7970sa --autoinstall --flavor vmhost_sles11-64 --configure-from eth0 . . .

[sisuite-users] Getting SU 4.1.6 si_prepareclient to work on SLES 11 SP1 64-bit
Been using SI since 3.2..been very happy with it. Gotten a bit creative
with the master scripts for helping to automate and do some custom changes
to the golden client image when the hardware has change but the golden client
image is still usable.
Starting to build systems running 64-bit..specifically SLES 11 SP1 64-bit
si_prepareclient files to run properly becasuse systemconfigurator is unable to
determine the kernel.
I checked the mailing list and I found something that had written a patch for
the UseYourOwnKernel.pm that I applied. Still doesn't work.
What information do I need to provide to help build against SLES 11 SP1 64-bit??
Here are the RPM's that are installed on the golden-client:
systemconfigurator-2.2.11-1
systemimager-common-4.1.6-1
systemimager-i386initrd_template-4.1.6-1
systemimager-x86_64initrd_template-4.1.6-1
systemimager-client-4.1.6-1
uname -a returns the following:
Linux newserverbuild 2.6.32.36-0.5-default #1 SMP 2011-04-14 10:12:31 +0200
x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Here is the patch that I found on the message board and tried to use:
