[sisuite-users] New systemimager rpms for centos6: Missing lvm2

[Ole H. N. <Ole...@fy...>]

Hi Olivier,

I'm testing your latest systemimager 4.3 RPMs dated 08-Jan-2013 from 
http://olivier.lahaye1.free.fr/RPMS/noarch/.  I've generated PXE boot 
files in the client's /etc/systemimager/boot/* using si_prepareclient.

However, my CentOS 6.3 clients have been installed with LVM disk 
partitions, so the SI master scripts wants to execute various LVM 
commands from the lvm2 RPM package.  Unfortunately it seems that the 
lvm2 package is missing from the SI initrd.img, so the SI client install 
crashes with the error:
pvcreate: not found

Question: Can you add the lvm2 package to SI's building of initrd.img?

Thanks,
Ole

Thanks for the info, I was not using lvm, so I didn't notice. I'll give a look.

Best regards,

Olivier.

Hi Ole,

I think that this is fixed now in http://olivier.lahaye1.free.fr/RPMS/noarch/

The RPMS have the same version but are new (4.3.0-0.2), so you need to reinstall those with

rpm -Uvh --force systemimager-*rpm

I've checked the inird.img and the templates and all the lvm commands are now present.

Please, tell me it it works as I cannot test for the moment.

Cheers,

Olivier.
