[xcat-user] pxeconfig

2013-03-01 Thread geert geurts

Hello all!
I'm using a customized installation procedure on our cluster, with xcat
2.7.6. I'm currently using the boottarget table to specify my customized
initrd, and the nodetype os=boottarget to let xcat use the boottarget table
for pxeconfig generation.
Then I issue a nodeset NODENAME netboot to actually generate the pxeconfig.
As xCAT is depricating the nodeset NODENAME netboot command I've been
looking into converting this to an osimage setup. What I did was create an
osimage entry with mkdef -t osimage default-image provmethod="boottarget".
And then a chdef -t node provmethod="default-image".
Does anyone know how !I can tell xcat now to regenerate the pxeconfig?

Thanks!

Geert

[xcat-user] zVM ipl reader

2013-03-01 Thread Mark Pace

I'm trying to create my first Linux guest using autoyast.

slesxcat:~ # nodeset slesxc01 install
slesxc01: Setting up networking on VSWTVPN (layer:3 | DHCP:0)
slesxc01: Purging reader... Done
slesxc01: Punching kernel to reader... Done

slesxc01: Punching parm to reader... Done

slesxc01: Punching initrd to reader... Done

slesxc01: Kernel, parm, and initrd punched to reader.  Ready for boot.
slesxcat:~ # rnetboot slesxc01 ipl=00c
slesxc01: Booting from 00c... Done

I see that the guest does logon to vm.  But I waited serveral mins and
could not connect via VNC.  So I used a 3270 session and logged onto the
guest.  I see that it was in a VM READ.  I manually IPL 00C and the install
started as expected.

Can you tell me what I should be looking for to determine why it did not
IPL 00C when it was autologed?

Does your zHCP have ABCDG privileges or a custom set that includes
privilege C (SEND)?  What rnetboot does, is it invokes "vmcp q cp send ipl
$addr", where $addr is what you supplied.

Re: [xcat-user] xCAT 2.8 Released!

2013-03-01 Thread Thang Pham

I usually:
- delete the existing xcat-core and xcat-dep directories
- download the latest xcat-core and xcat-dep
- extract them
- run zypper refresh and then zypper update *xCAT*

# cd /root/xcat
# rm -rf xcat-core
# rm -rf xcat-dep
# tar jxf xcat-core-xxx.tar.bz2
# tar jxf xcat-dep-xxx.tar.bz2
# zypper refresh
# zypper update

My systems are on a private network, so I could not hook up to the online
repo.  Otherwise, you can link to the online repo via zypper.

Re: [xcat-user] zVM ipl reader

2013-03-01 Thread Mark Pace

So either the problem was with the PROFILE, or that I had the IPL as 00c
instead of 00C.  Not sure if the mixed case was a problem.  I will test
that as soon as I figure out my next issue.

During Stage one installation I can connect VNC and watch the
installation.  But after the reboot I can no longer connect.  I logon on to
a 3270 command and figured out that the default GW is not being set.
slesxc01:~ #
route
route

Kernel IP routing
table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric RefUse
Iface
default *   0.0.0.0 U 0  00
eth0
loopback*   255.0.0.0   U 0  00
lo
link-local  *   255.255.0.0 U 0  00
eth0
172.16.1.0  *   255.255.255.0   U 0  00
eth0
slesxc01:~
#

So if I
route add default gw 172.16.1.1
eth0
slesxc01:~ # route
-n
route
-n
Kernel IP routing
table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric RefUse

169.254.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 0  00

172.16.1.0  0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0   U 0  00

Then I can connect again.

Re: [xcat-user] zVM ipl reader

2013-03-01 Thread Thang Pham

The IPL address is case insensitive, so it should be fine using 00C or 00c.
Also, make sure the default gateway is also setup in the networks table:
   # tabdump networks
   #netname,net,mask,mgtifname,gateway
   
,dhcpserver,tftpserver,nameservers,ntpservers,logservers,dynamicrange,staticrange,staticrangeincrement,nodehostname,ddnsdomain,vlanid,domain,comments,disable
   
"10_1_136_0-255_255_255_0","10.1.136.0","255.255.255.0","eth1","10.1.136.1","10.1.136.1","10.1.136.1","10.1.136.1",,,

xCAT uses the matching network entry in this table to set the gateway,
mask, etc. on the node.

So either the problem was with the PROFILE, or that I had the IPL as 00c
instead of 00C.  Not sure if the mixed case was a problem.  I will test
that as soon as I figure out my next issue.

During Stage one installation I can connect VNC and watch the
installation.  But after the reboot I can no longer connect.  I logon on to
a 3270 command and figured out that the default GW is not being set.

Re: [xcat-user] zVM ipl reader

Ah.  This might be something to do with the autoyast template.  Do you have
this section in your template?
   
 false
 
   
 default
 -
 replace_gateway
 replace_netmask
   
 
   

When you run nodeset, it will populate it to something like:
   
 false
 
   
 default
 -
 10.1.136.1
 255.255.255.0

  xCAT uses the matching network entry in this table to set the gateway,

  So either the problem was with the PROFILE, or that I had the IPL as 00c
  instead of 00C.  Not sure if the mixed case was a problem.  I will test
  that as soon as I figure out my next issue.

  During Stage one installation I can connect VNC and watch the
  installation.  But after the reboot I can no longer connect.  I logon on
  to a 3270 command and figured out that the default GW is not being set.

[xcat-user] Trouble booting OS on iDataPlex node

2013-03-01 Thread James Chamberlain

I'm running into an issue with xCAT and an iDataPlex dx360 M4 node.   
I'm able to get the OS (CentOS 5.8) installed just fine, but on first  
boot I get a repeating loop of:

cat: can't open '/tmp/dhcpserver': No such file or directory
grep: /tmp/destiny: No such file or directory
grep: /tmp/destiny: No such file or directory

Following the advice I've seen in the list archives, I upgraded from  
xCAT 2.5 to 2.8 today.  This has not made a difference.  I did make  
sure to restart xcatd, and have verified the version with:

# lsxcatd -a
Version 2.8 (svn r15205, built Mon Feb 18 17:01:27 EST 2013)
[...]

Anyone have any ideas what's going on, and what I can do about it?

Thanks,

James

Same messages for all 15 tries

Once dumped into bash I run the openssl call and it works fine:

Re: [xcat-user] Deploy bonded interface

2013-03-01 Thread Christian Caruthers


In the past, we've done the install over the installnic and set up the bond
in postscripting so that it's active after the reboot.

I'm a complete brooky so I'm not sure if I'm correct, but I don't think
it's xcat to care about...
It's an os thing so I guess the bonding setup should go in autoyast or
whatever it's called on rh. That is, when you install nodes in such
fashion...
