Re: [OSR-users] What other cdsl's to configure?

[Dan M. <dan...@or...>]

Hi Marc --

Thanks for your reply on the cdsl's.

I'm about to start another round of setting up an
OSR for Xen/EL5/ocfs2.  I have my current one
working and booting 8 virtual nodes.  However
I made enough tweaks along the way that I want
to ensure I can reproduce it.

Last time, I used the following rpm versions:

comoonics-bootimage-1.4-21.noarch.rpm
comoonics-bootimage-extras-ocfs2-0.1-3.noarch.rpm
comoonics-bootimage-initscripts-1.4-9.rhel5.noarch.rpm
comoonics-bootimage-listfiles-1.3-8.el5.noarch.rpm
comoonics-bootimage-listfiles-all-0.1-5.noarch.rpm
comoonics-bootimage-listfiles-rhel-0.1-3.noarch.rpm
comoonics-bootimage-listfiles-rhel5-0.1-3.noarch.rpm
comoonics-cdsl-py-0.2-12.noarch.rpm
comoonics-cluster-py-0.1-17.noarch.rpm
comoonics-cs-py-0.1-56.noarch.rpm
comoonics-pythonosfix-py-0.1-2.noarch.rpm
SysVinit-comoonics-2.86-14.atix.1.i386.rpm

Are there any newer versions of these?  (And is
there any changelog list or other mechanism I
can use generally to check for newer versions?
I want to download rpm's, not use yum or up2date.)

The version above still has the problem with the
/etc/redhat-release not parsing the Oracle version
string.  Is this fixed somewhere?  I'm currently
just patching it manually.  Also, I'm wondering if
you might have taken my suggestion of using
"modprobe -q" so that ugly FATAL messages aren't
printed for modules that might already be built
into the kernel.  (Specifically, xennet and xenblk)

Thanks,
Dan
