I'm assuming you're using xCAT 1.3. Would it be possible to configure xCAT to
store the images in /opt/image/x86? The VCL xCAT code really needs the image
path to contain a 3rd component because it determines where the images reside as
follows:
<managementnode.installpath>/<OS.sourcepath>/<image.architecture>
If you can configure xCAT to use /opt/image/x86, then managementnode.installpath
should be set to /opt and I believe the path should be constructed correctly.
Hope this helps,
Andy

Re: Change image timeout
I believe the problem is related to the Install Path setting for your
management
node:
Management Nodes > Edit Management Node Information > Edit
Based on the paths being used, I'm guessing yours is set to 'storage/x86'.
Where does the partimage .gz file reside? If it actually resides in
'/storage/image/x86' then change the Install Path setting to 'storage'.
The .tmpl file residing in this directory may indicate another problem
with the
xCAT root path. Where is xCAT installed and which version of xCAT are you
using? Search your log file for 'xCAT root path found:'. What path does
this
line contain?
Regards,
Andy

Re: Change image timeout
The command that is being executed to check the size should be:
du -c /storage/x86/image/x86/winvista-Windows7FacStaff49-v0*
Try running this. What output does it generate? The last line should
look like:
xxxx total
The code appears to be finding the 'total' line but is either not
parsing
it
correctly, not calculating the size correctly, or the du command isn't
correct.
Also, it would be helpful if you include the output from:
ls -l /storage/x86/image/x86/winvista-Windows7FacStaff49-v0*

What about any other error messages for the rest of the log capture for
this imaging request?

RE: Change image timeout
From these lines in the log, it's indicating that the capture hasn't
started:
12:31:01|9225|144:178|image|xCAT.pm:get_image_size(3146)|returning
image
size: 0 MB (4 bytes)
2010-05-10

12:31:01|9225|144:178|image|xCAT.pm:capture_monitor(1238)|image
copy not complete, sleeping for 30 seconds
Notice the image size is 0 MB, meaning the partimage save isn't
occurring.
After 20 minutes of nothing being saved, it gives up. Can you watch the
capture from the server console to verify that the PXE boot is running
and
that it's booting into the image capture mode? Do the log entries at
the
beginning of the imaging process show any errors?

RE: Change image timeout
Roger,
By image uploads do you mean capturing a new image? From what I've
observed with ours, as long as the image file size is increasing on the
management node, it assumes the capture is still proceeding and
continues
to check.
Do you have vcld.log output you can provide from when the problem
occurs?
