| 13:51 jair | good morning everyone |
| 13:53 jair | After I finish the installation of FAI chapter 3.3, what should I do next? setup the configuration of the install clients or worry about set up the (dhcp3/tftp) = PXE? |
| 13:54 jair | this is the first time for me configuring FAI and so far everything has been working properly. Exactly like it say on the fai guide. |
| alleeHol (~ach@dialin-212-144-129-229.pools.arcor-ip.net) left irc: Ping timeout: 480 seconds |
| 13:55 Mrfai | jair: I would start with tftp/dhcp |
| 13:56 Mrfai | the call fai-chboot and boot the memtest86+ binary. This is a nice test to see if PXE, tftp and dhcp is working |
| 13:56 Mrfai | s/the/then/ |
| 13:58 jair | Mrfai: Danke :) |
| 13:58 jair | Mrfai: so basically there is a file already in place when the set up of fai-setup script runs |
| 13:59 jair | Mrfai: I have other dhcp3 (authoritative) on my network but I assign it to vlans using ip helper, so this dhcp server should not conflict with the other vlans. |
| 13:59 jair | I will do the testing of FAI in its own vlan as well |
| 14:00 jair | so I guess in the guide is information about the tftp/dhcp. Let me check |
| 14:08 Mrfai | so you have to copy the memtest86+ binary to /srv/tftp/fai. It's better to copy it without the .bin suffix |
| 14:09 Mrfai | jair: you may have problems, if the other dhcp includes the option allow unknow-clients. |
| Action: juri_ does the "update to debian sid" dance. |
| 14:16 jair | Mrfai: and I can check that in my dhcp.conf file right? |
| 14:17 jair | Mrfai: is this for me? => memtest86+ binary? |
| 14:17 jair | where is memtest86+ binary located? |
| 14:17 Mrfai | yep. The option is allow unknown-clients or deny unknown-clients; |
| 14:18 Mrfai | jair: yep. memtest86+ is for you |
| 14:18 jair | I am checking my other dhcp now |
| 14:18 jair | where is memtest86+ binary? |
| 14:18 Mrfai | jair: aptitude install memtest86+ |
| 14:18 jair | Danke |
| 14:18 Mrfai | then you have /boot/memtest86+.bin |
| 14:19 jair | without the ".bin" right |
| 14:19 Mrfai | yep |
| 14:19 jair | I mean move it then rename it |
| 14:19 jair | ok |
| 14:19 Mrfai | I would copy it. |
| 14:19 jair | ohhh ok |
| 14:19 Mrfai | otherwise removing the memtest86+ package will fail. |
| 14:19 jair | got it |
| 14:20 jair | I understand now |
| 14:20 Mrfai | don't forget man fai-chboot ;-) |
| 14:22 jair | hmm I don't think I have read about that yet |
| 14:22 jair | "fai-chboot" |
| 14:23 jair | here is my other dhcp server Mrfai => http://paste.debian.net/39512 |
| 14:23 jair | it looks like I do not have that option => allow unknow-clients :D |
| 14:24 Mrfai | I'm not sure what's the default. But you may set deny unknow.... |
| 14:25 jair | I will check in google that. But I have vlans on my network, so the dhcp does not work unless I assign it to the vlan |
| 14:27 jair | Mrfai: fai-server:/boot# cp memtest86.bin /srv/tftp/fai/memtest86 |
| 14:27 jair | done |
| 14:28 jair | Mrfai: now where do i need to use the command "fai-chboot"? |
| Action: jair is also l;ooking in the fai-guide... :) |
| 14:29 jair | Mrfai: The command fai-chboot(8) is used for creating a per host configuration for the pxelinux environment. <= this is one of the things I found in the guide. |
| 14:30 jair | at this point I haven't touch the fai dhcp3 server configuration... :( |
| 14:30 jair | what should be the next thing to configure here |
| 14:35 Mrfai | http://www.informatik.uni-koeln.de/fai/fai-guide/ch-booting.html, read 4.6 |
| 14:36 jair | ok |
| 14:38 jair | 4.6? 4.6 Collecting Ethernet addresses |
| 14:39 jair | this is telling me about how I will collect the mac addresses of the systems :( # tcpdump -qtel broadcast and port bootpc >/tmp/mac.list |
| 14:40 jair | so I guess that now that I haven't even configure the dhcp tftp all I need to do is boot the machines on the same vlan where fai install server is running |
| 14:41 Mrfai | you have to add an entry to your dhcpd.conf for each host |
| 15:07 jair | Mrfai: alright like mac address, hostname, and the information used to get the floppy disks boot way right? |
| sepski (~sep@217.17.211.51) joined #fai. |
| 15:09 Mrfai | you are not using a floppy disk |
| 15:10 Mrfai | you nees MAC and IP address and a hostname for each host |
| 15:10 h01ger | Mrfai, http://www.techforce.com.br/index.php/news/linux_blog/massive_installation_management_tools_p_3 (and p_1 and p_2) |
| 15:10 h01ger | there is also a thread "migration and installation 50 THOUSAND machines" started this morning on debian-devel@l.d.o |
| 15:13 Mrfai | h01ger: so ein scheiss. da will eine 23 jaehrige mit mir chatten wenn ich den artikel lesen will. Und das auf Protugiesisch (verstehe kein wort) und das daemliche Fenster laesst sich nicht schliessen |
| 15:13 h01ger | LOL |
| 15:13 h01ger | *kringel* |
| 15:13 h01ger | braus halt ohne javascript, ich hatte sowas nicht :) |
| 15:14 Mrfai | ah, sieht schon besser aus :-) |
| 15:15 h01ger | :) |
| 15:15 h01ger | die "english version of this page" willst du auch nicht anklicken :) |

| 15:53 jair | Mrfai: sorry i am at the office and is super busy here :( |
| 15:54 jair | Mrfai: ok yes, I will be using only the MAC and IP address and a hostname for each host |
| 15:54 jair | Mrfai: that is why I can use this command correct => # tcpdump -qtel broadcast and port bootpc >/tmp/mac.list ? |
| 15:55 juri_ | if each host uses a network card thats different than the rest of your network, its possible to use dhcp3 to assign the entire set of network cards a range. |
| 15:55 juri_ | as in: matching against the first three octets, not the whole mac address. |
| 15:57 jair | juri_: I will need to check that, it is true, normally all that change on the number of machines are the last octects |
| 15:57 jair | I will be back guys have to step out |
| 15:57 jair | but I will still on the channel :D |
| 15:57 jair | busy busy here .... |
| 15:58 sepski | what exactly decides what disk partition set to use ? the last in the class ? |
| 16:00 juri_ | the last class wins, on disk partitions, and files. |
| 16:02 sepski | thank you |
| 16:03 Mrfai | and the last is the one with the highest priority. |
