[sisuite-users] RE : New systemimager rpms for centos6 with ext4 support

[LAHAYE O. <oli...@ce...>]

Hi,

In order to install systemimager, you need to install the oscar repository index so dependancies can be resolved.

rpm -Uvh http://svn.oscar.openclustergroup.org/repos/unstable/rhel-6-x86_64/oscar-release-6.1.2r9868-1.noarch.rpm

Then

yum clean all; yum makecache
yum install systemimager*

Note that  ext4 is supported, but the /boot partition should'nt use this filesystem.
Note also that there are some missing firmwares. (only those that are included in kernel sources are provided).

If you want to build the rpm from sources, you can fetch missing sources from here:
http://olivier.lahaye1.free.fr/SOURCES/ copy them into /usr/src/ or /root/src/
The last srpm is beta10:
http://svn.oscar.openclustergroup.org/pkgs/downloads/systemimager-4.3.0-0.10.src.rpm

Here you can find some example post install scripts: http://olivier.lahaye1.free.fr/RPMS/extra/si_scripts.tar.bz2

systemimager is still unable to manage grub2 or NetworkManager, but you can use post install scripts to do so.
grub1 was not working up to 0.9, but I've fixed some bugs recently, and it may work now without using the post install script found in the example scripts. Not had time to test.

Regards,

Olivier.

Hello Olivier,

Thanks for your promotion and improvements of SISuite.
I'm currently trying to quickly deploy a new HPC cluster on CentOS6.3[or 4]
with Grub2, LVM and Ext4 features.

I have a very basic experience with SISuite (only one time on an old cluster
on CentOS 5 without aforesaid features) but it seems to miss some
packages like systemconfigurator.

Can you help me to install your groundwork writing me a small install
procedure and also where to get missing packages?
I just need to be able to harvest and deploy a golden node image

Thanks in advance for your help, and one more time for your good works!
Geoffrey
