Hi

systemimager-common:
/usr/lib/systemimager/perl/SystemImager/UseYourOwnKernel.pm

Checks the kernel version and throws an error for newer kernels. This patch
allows me to use some 3.X kernels

It is however already out of date as Ubuntu 12.04 can run 3.2
(linux-generic) 3.5 (linux-generic-lts-quantal) 3.8
(linux-generic-lts-raring) or 3.11 (linux-generic-lts-saucy) kernels:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack

The patch will fix your problem running si_prepareclient (though I can
image that I could not do the network boot on that kernel (still using an
old 2.X Ubuntu 11.04 kernel).

My images are also converted to grub1 instead of grub2, and the master
script edited to have ext3 not ext4, and a similar patch to allow the
server to upload from an ext4 golden client.

I'm looking forward to a new release of SI for Ubuntu 12.04 and 14.04
support!

Regards,
Jan

Re: [sisuite-users] support newer kernels in systemimager?

[Brian E. F. <br...@th...>]

Steven,

I'm afraid I'm testing with an unstable version that I'm prepping to
release, but it's not ready yet.

Yann -- do you have debs that you have built from your 4.2.x source
tree?  If so, I'd like to add them to the SystemImager Debian repo and
get a copy to Steven.

Thanks, -Brian

Re: [sisuite-users] support newer kernels in systemimager?

[DuChene, S. A <ste...@hp...>]

OK, I just checked the debian/Ubuntu  system where I am trying to run si_prepareclient and it has systemimager  v4.1.6 packages installed.
I notice the patch you sent seems to be from a 4.2.X branch. Where do I get that branch from??? The newest available from the sourceforge files section is 4.1.6 from 2008.

Is there any place to download this from so I can transfer it to a group of systems that do not have internet access?

Brian:
What version of systemimager are you using to do your testing? I am looking on the source forge files area and everything there is very old. Is there some place where you are storing newer versions? I will try the patch you sent though and see if applies cleanly to the bits I have installed.

Thanks for the good information, Steven.

It looks like Yann Aubert may have fixed the parsing issue.  I checked out his repo, and see this in his commit log:

Hope that helps in the mean time.  You can give it a try by applying the attached patch to your installed system...

As for the kernel, si_prepareclient completed successfully for me on Quantal.  It's one release newer than what you were using, but I have no reason to expect it to not work with that kernel either.

Re: [sisuite-users] support newer kernels in systemimager?

[Brian E. F. <br...@th...>]

Thanks for the good information, Steven.

It looks like Yann Aubert may have fixed the parsing issue.  I checked
out his repo, and see this in his commit log:

Hope that helps in the mean time.  You can give it a try by applying
the attached patch to your installed system...

As for the kernel, si_prepareclient completed successfully for me on
Quantal.  It's one release newer than what you were using, but I have no
reason to expect it to not work with that kernel either.

Re: [sisuite-users] 4 Debian packages Not Found

[Brian E. F. <br...@th...>]

Mike,

Thanks for letting us know.  I've fixed the problem with the repo, but
I'm afraid you'll now get the following error message when you try to
install on wheezy:

     root@wheezy64:~# apt-get install systemimager-server
     Reading package lists... Done
     Building dependency tree       
     Reading state information... Done
     Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
     requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
     distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
     or been moved out of Incoming.
     The following information may help to resolve the situation:
     
     The following packages have unmet dependencies:
      systemimager-server : Depends: mkisofs but it is not installable
                            Recommends: dhcp3-server or
                                        dhcp but it is not installable
                            Recommends: syslinux but it is not going to be installed
     E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.


This fail is due to Debian not included either the "mkisofs" package, or
a virtual or transitional package that points to "genisoimage", which is
superceding mkisofs:

     https://github.com/xdissent/ievms/issues/70


The fix for this is for me to update the packages to include
_either_ mkisofs or genisoimage as a "Recommends", rather than a
"Depends".  Same thing with the dhcp package names...


But, to get going for right now, you can do this:

     It turns out that lenny includes an mkisofs transitional package,
     which basically drops in a symlink like so:

     root@wheezy64:~# ls -l /usr/bin/mkisofs
     lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 Oct 26  2008 /usr/bin/mkisofs -> genisoimage

     So, just add an entry to /etc/apt/sources.list for lenny (it's old
     enough that it should not supercede any of your wheezy packages, but
     I haven't tested them all ;-).  You can comment it out after
     installing mkisofs transitional package if you like...

     deb http://archive.debian.org/debian-archive/debian lenny main
     
     apt-get update
     apt-get install systemimager-server


Cheers!

-Brian

What version of Debian or Ubuntu are you installing this on? On Ubuntu 
12.04 the dhcp packages are called "isc-dhcp-server" rather than dhcp3 
and the diff utility dpkg is called diffutils rather than just diff. 
Perhaps you could alter the list of downloaded deb packages to 
correspond to the real package names available for your distribution.

I tried to install the client pieces on a system a few months ago and 
while it all installed fine, the actual prepareclient step would not 
function on a Ubuntu 12.04LTS Precise system because the systemimager 
utilities would not support the 3.X.X kernels found on Ubuntu precise. I 
reported this but I have heard absolutely nothing from Bryan or any of 
the other developers as far as fix or a suggested work-around. With no 
fix forthcoming I have to abandon my plans for using systemimager and 
consider it a dead project. Too bad as it was a really cool tool.

[sisuite-users] [URGENT HELP] xcat 2.8.3 with systemimager on RHEL 5.8

[Richard S. <ric...@in...>]

Hi,

I have challenge with System imager restore.

I have the following xCAT environment.

xCAT version : 2.8.3 (also Systemimage server)
Compute node OS: RHEL 5.8
hardware: x3550

I was able to successfully capture the compute node image with RHEL 5.8.
But when I try installing the same node with the captured image it fails
during partitioning with below error;

creating partition /dev/sda5
/scripts/clusternode.master:line 234: 998778.97 + 1 : synthmetic operator
(error token is" .97 + 1")
last command exited with 1
killing off running processes

Regards,
Richard

ERROR: unsupported kernel 3.5.0-23-generic!

The warnings or errors about "Use of uninitialized value $v1 in split at
/usr/lib/systemimager/perl/SystemImager/Common.pm line 199" is due to
the way parted is now returning multiple line of text output when the
--version option is passed. It seems that the perl code that is supposed
to be parsing the stuff that is not able to handle that multi-line
output to extract the version of the parted utility.


However what concerns me most is the message back that says the
3.5.0-23-generic kernel is not supported.
Is there any documentation available for systemimager that would show
the necessary process steps to incorperate support for newer kernels?

Any suggestions about any of this would be most appreciated. BTW, I have
the following installed on the Ubuntu system:

Re: [sisuite-users] support newer kernels in systemimager?

[DuChene, S. A <ste...@hp...>]

Is anyone on this list going to be at SC2013 here in Denver? I am heading down there today.
I would be interested in meeting up with other HPC people in attendance.
My E-mail I will be able to check at the conference is te...@ya...<mailto:te...@ya...> or in the case of Brian I will also have my cell phone.

Hi Steven,

Thanks for the report.  I'll see if I can re-create it in the lab, and update the code accordingly.

Thanks, -Brian

The warnings or errors about "Use of uninitialized value $v1 in split at
/usr/lib/systemimager/perl/SystemImager/Common.pm line 199" is due to
the way parted is now returning multiple line of text output when the
--version option is passed. It seems that the perl code that is supposed
to be parsing the stuff that is not able to handle that multi-line
output to extract the version of the parted utility.


However what concerns me most is the message back that says the
3.5.0-23-generic kernel is not supported.
Is there any documentation available for systemimager that would show
the necessary process steps to incorperate support for newer kernels?

Any suggestions about any of this would be most appreciated. BTW, I have
the following installed on the Ubuntu system:

ii  systemconfigurator 2.2.11-1                      Unified
Configuration API for Linux Installation
ii  systemimager-client 4.1.6                         Utilities for

ii  systemimager-common 4.1.6                         Utilities and
libraries common to both the server and client

[sisuite-users] support newer kernels in systemimager?

 Did you look at SALI ( https://oss.trac.surfsara.nl/sali)?

I may have begun this thread a while back - hard to tell now, but I was
instructed to pull debs from the OSCAR site. I too ran into a bunch of
dependency issues. Seriously to the point of thinking about doing a new
SI completely (well, to fit my needs anyway). Still don't have a working
SI install (it's missing GRUB2 support anyway, so it's not all that
useful to me anyway as it turns out)

Anyone here want to work on a new SI with me? I see the following for
Si2:

* apache served kernel / fat initramfs via iPXE and http
* cgi based system w/iPXE scripting that determines what image to load
based on MAC
* use udp-cast with streamed cpio and crc32 to verify integrity

The fat initramfs will have all the tools needed to get more tools from
the server via curl or wget. The server will house scripts to accomplish
certain tasks that can be easily definable. the client will pull these
and the definitions. The initramfs will just spin doing tasks, rather
than switch_root.

could even do emdebian as a small iscsi-based boot image rather than
just a fat initramfs, although not sure what that would buy.

Thoughts? Is it worth it, or is making SI work without hair pulling
simpler? Honestly, I'm jonesin' to do the new one if anyone is into it.

-C
