Dear all, Here are my fixed systemimager rpms for centos-6.3 Now, the ext4 filesystem is fixed (the module was missing in the initrd image) I've tested this on recent hardware and it worked like a charm. Thoses RPMS are for testing purpose RPMS: http://olivier.lahaye1.free.fr/RPMS/noarch SRPMS: http://olivier.lahaye1.free.fr/SRPMS/systemimager-4.2.0-0.91svn4568.el6.src.rpm PS: Keep in mind that you need postinstall scripts (already posted here) to setup grub, network and other stuffs as systemconfiguratior is unable to handle latest linux technologies.

Dear Olivier, You're doing wonderful work! I really want to test your SI setup with CentOS6. For completeness, could you kindly repost the link to your postinstall scripts? It's really difficult to find these things, so it helps people if a complete "package" is presented.

Hi Ole, Thanks a lot for your support. Here are the scripts I'm using. Note that you may not need all scripts. Also note that you may need to edit the script (E;g. I use google DNS ip instead of my site ones ;-) ) http://olivier.lahaye1.free.fr/RPMS/extra/si_scripts.tar.bz2 Hopefully, systemconfiguration will be back to life one day as it's cool to have a system able to configure those stuffs without depending of the distro. (saldy I have no time at the moment for that). -- Olivier LAHAYE CEA DRT/LIST/DCSI/DIR ________________________________________ De : Ole Holm Nielsen [Ole...@fy...] Date d'envoi : jeudi 13 décembre 2012 15:53 À : sis...@li...

Hi Olivier, It seems that your systemimager source RPM requires packages and a file libcrypt.a which are not available on a RHEL 6.3 machine: # rpmbuild --rebuild systemimager-4.2.0-0.91svn4568.el6.src.rpm Installing systemimager-4.2.0-0.91svn4568.el6.src.rpm error: Failed build dependencies: device-mapper-devel is needed by systemimager-4.2.0-0.91svn4568.el6.noarch gperf is needed by systemimager-4.2.0-0.91svn4568.el6.noarch /usr/lib64/libcrypt.a is needed by systemimager-4.2.0-0.91svn4568.el6.noarch Could you kindly clarify these prerequisites? My central server is running RHEL 6.3, so I would wish systemimager to build there.

This means that your disk is not recognized. Did you use my install scripts (especially the pre-install). http://olivier.lahaye1.free.fr/RPMS/extra/si_scripts.tar.bz2 It modprobs some modules in order to see disks. I don't know my the systemimager initrd fails to automaticaly do that (did not have time to look at the problem). if you did use the script, it means that you need to modify it to have more modules inserted. Or, if your hardware is too recent (not supported by provided default kernel), then you'll need to use your own kernel for the moment. I cannot upgrade easily the kernel to 3.X as it'll require to upgrade some utils too and therefore, it'll break build on RHEL6 as well. Indeed, the build will copy missing stuffs from /lib /lib64 and other places and thoses version are for a 2.6.x kernel, not a 3.X kernel. This is also the reason why build fails on CentOS5 cas the libs copied from system misses some symbols (too old). In order to safely upgrade systemimager to latest kernel, we need to modifiy the build process so it builds everything and link everything with it's material which is not fully the case for now. (it still copy stuffs from the build system root tree (convenient ugly dirty hack)). Hope this helps, Cheers, Olivier. -- Olivier LAHAYE CEA DRT/LIST/DCSI/DIR ________________________________ De : Jing CDL Sun [sj...@cn...] Date d'envoi : lundi 17 décembre 2012 07:42 À : LAHAYE Olivier Cc: sis...@li...; sis...@li...

It is only a kernel/initrd with up to date utilities that does a better job in detecting which hardware. The only problem is that we do not have an up to date systemconfigurator of other tools that generate the auto install scripts, Brian also posted http://download.systemimager.org/pub/ssm/README. Jing could replace the default system imager kernel/initrd with the SALI one. regards -- Bas van der Vlies mail: ba...@sa... SARA - Academic Computing Services , Amsterdam, The Netherlands |

Ole, you're perfectly right, Looking at https://access.redhat.com/knowledge/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/pdf/Package_Manifest/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux-6-Package_Manifest-en-US.pdf I see none of the required packages. Wow, this is realy wired. no static libc in RHEL6?. So no way to create a static binary from RHEL6? Regarding the spec file from http://ftp.redhat.com/redhat/linux/enterprise/6Server/en/os/SRPMS/glibc-2.12-1.80.el6_3.6.src.rpm , the static package should be built. Did redhat removed it by hand? Regarding device-mapper-devel, the package is created from http://ftp.redhat.com/redhat/linux/enterprise/6Server/en/os/SRPMS/lvm2-2.02.72-8.el6_0.4.src.rpm => Same as above? did redhat removed the package? And, as you said, the gperf package has an src.rpm.but no binary and not in the list of rhel6 packages..... As for the real requirements, I think they are all required unfortunately:(though maybe I'm wrong and maybe we could modify source to avoid those requirements; honestly I can't tell for now) 1/ GPERF: ./initrd_source/build_dir/lib/modules/2.6.34.1-boel_v4.3.0/build/scripts/kconfig/Makefile:# The following requires flex/bison/gperf 2/ DEVICE-MAPPER-DEVEL: ./autoconf/configure.ac:AC_CHECK_HEADERS([libdevmapper.h],[have_libdevmapper=yes]) 3/ GLIBS-STATIC: ./build_dir/lib/modules/2.6.34.1-boel_v4.3.0/build/kernel/exit.c: * implemented by calling sys_wait4() from libc.a. I'm confident that if you rpmbuild --rebuild the missing packages (glibc, lvm2 and gperf), you should obtain the missing packages. I understand that it's not a perfect situation, but for now I'm afraid that it's the way to go. Maybe redhat has other optional repositories available? Looking at the packages list, only 3 static packages. maybe all static packages are on a specific repository? Or maybe redhat has removed most of them because of that: http://www.linuxtopia.org/online_books/rhel6/rhel_6_developer_guide/rhel_6_developer_lib.compatibility.static.html (I'm sorry, I don't even have a single redhat system since V4 as I had poor experience with support and things like this one, though I can easily understand that rhel is mandatory for you) hope this helps a little bit.

Thx for the reply. When I used your build with 4.2.0-0.9svn4568, I did not run into this problem, so I'm thinking maybe this is not a missing module problem? When you said 4.2.0-0.91svn4568 fixed the ext4 missing problem, did you mean the default initrd? because it seems 4.2.0-0.9svn4568 worked fine for me without the ext4 issue. Yes, I did not use the systemimager default kernel and initrd, instead, I'm using my own kernel/initrd got from my golder client, it's rhel6.3, so I think it should work fine, right?

Jing,
You're perfectly right, the ext4 problem was related to default initrd. The build did not enable the ext4 module. It's fixed in last build.
Cheers,

Thx for the reply.
When I used your build with 4.2.0-0.9svn4568, I did not run into this problem, so I'm thinking maybe this is not a missing module problem?
When you said 4.2.0-0.91svn4568 fixed the ext4 missing problem, did you mean the default initrd? because it seems 4.2.0-0.9svn4568 worked fine for me without the ext4 issue.
Yes, I did not use the systemimager default kernel and initrd, instead, I'm using my own kernel/initrd got from my golder client, it's rhel6.3, so I think it should work fine, right?

RE : [Sisuite-devel] New systemimager rpms for centos6 with ext4 support
This means that your disk is not recognized.
Did you use my install scripts (especially the pre-install).
http://olivier.lahaye1.free.fr/RPMS/extra/si_scripts.tar.bz2
It modprobs some modules in order to see disks. I don't know my the systemimager initrd fails to automaticaly do that (did not have time to look at the problem).
if you did use the script, it means that you need to modify it to have more modules inserted. Or, if your hardware is too recent (not supported by provided default kernel), then you'll need to use your own kernel for the moment.
I cannot upgrade easily the kernel to 3.X as it'll require to upgrade some utils too and therefore, it'll break build on RHEL6 as well. Indeed, the build will copy missing stuffs from /lib /lib64 and other places and thoses version are for a 2.6.x kernel, not a 3.X kernel.
This is also the reason why build fails on CentOS5 cas the libs copied from system misses some symbols (too old).
In order to safely upgrade systemimager to latest kernel, we need to modifiy the build process so it builds everything and link everything with it's material which is not fully the case for now. (it still copy stuffs from the build system root tree (convenient ugly dirty hack)).
Hope this helps,
Cheers,
Olivier.

[Sisuite-devel] New systemimager rpms for centos6 with ext4 support
Dear all,
Here are my fixed systemimager rpms for centos-6.3
Now, the ext4 filesystem is fixed (the module was missing in the initrd image)
I've tested this on recent hardware and it worked like a charm.
Thoses RPMS are for testing purpose
RPMS: http://olivier.lahaye1.free.fr/RPMS/noarch
SRPMS: http://olivier.lahaye1.free.fr/SRPMS/systemimager-4.2.0-0.91svn4568.el6.src.rpm
PS: Keep in mind that you need postinstall scripts (already posted here) to setup grub, network and other stuffs as systemconfiguratior is unable to handle latest linux technologies.
Best regards,
Olivier

Olivier,
Have you updated the line "DISK_SIZE=`LC_ALL=C parted -s $DISK0 unit MB
print | egrep '$DISK0' | awk '{print $NF}' | sed 's/MB//' `" in the
.master script? I found it can not work in build 4.2.0-0.91svn4568 for
redhat6.3.
I think it should be "DISK_SIZE=`parted -s $DISK0 unit MB print | egrep
"$DISK0" | awk '{print $NF}' | sed 's/MB//' `", use "" instead of ''
around $DISK0, so shell can translate it.
I tested this fix, it can work.
Thx.

Jing,
You're perfectly right, the ext4 problem was related to default initrd.
The build did not enable the ext4 module. It's fixed in last build.
Cheers,
Olivier.

You're perfectly right, a big mistake from my part. I replaced 'Disk' by "$DISK0" in my script (in order to avoid grepping 2 lines as the new parted now outputs Disk flags), but forgot to replace the simple quotes in the script.
Fixed in the svn, but maybe it should also be fixed in the git repos? (I've never used git and need time to learn it)
Cheers,
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 -- CNRS LBT/IBPC |

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.
