Re: [sisuite-users] SystemImager on LVM

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

Hi Ozkan,

Systemimager-4.0.5 won’t work on any RHEL-7 based distros (RHEL-7, CentOS-7, ScientificLinux-7, Oracle Linux 7,) and generally won’t work on recent hardware as it was built long ago when some of recent hardware did not exists and thus, the booting kernel will not have the correct drivers.
If you use your own kernel, this can help start the imaging process, but you’ll hit other problems related to OS configuration (RHEL-7 uses systemd and NetworkManager for example which did not exists when systemimager-4.0.5 was build).

I strongly suggest to use latest beta builds from here: http://www.usablesecurity.net/OSCAR/repos/unstable/rhel-7-x86_64/

Configure the repository by issuing the following command:
rpm -ivh http://www.usablesecurity.net/OSCAR/repos/unstable/rhel-7-x86_64/oscar-release-6.1.3-0.20190513.el7.noarch.rpm

Then follow the systemimager quick start guide available here: https://github.com/finley/SystemImager/wiki/QuickStartGuide

If you’re familiar with systemimager, this brand new design while introducing big changes should be easy to setup anyway.
This is still tagged as beta as only rsync protocol works, but the imaging process is already fairly robust on rhel-7 and now rhel-6.

Once I’ll have access to RHEL-8, I’ll do a build and I’m almost convinced it’ll work out of the box as it already works out of the box for fedora-26..30.

If you need further assistance, don’t hesitate to post here, I read it often and try to give answers to problems.

The current stable beta is version 4.9.0-0.20190702git if main repo is not up to date (it is not while I write this mail), you can find latest build here:
ftp://ftp.cea.fr/incoming/y2k01/OSCAR/repos/unstable/rhel-7-x86_64/ (this is a temporary repo that is cleared every 7 days, so do set it up for any other purpose that temporary need).

Cheers,

Olivier.

Hi,

We are planning to install systemimager 4.0.2 server  on Oracle Linux 7.6.And hope to get our client images which are also Oracle Linux 7.6.
What we want to know if there is any technical limitations for this kind of setup?Will it work?What I mean is that can we just install the systemimager 4.0.2 and clients packages on Oracle Linux 7.6?

Best Regards
Thanks
