[09:53] stockholm (~andreas@marta.schuldei.org) joined #fai. [09:53] torkel: do you manage to use the webinterface to the ibm RSA cards? [10:06] Mrfai, http://highscalability.com/lucasfilm-real-magic-data-center [10:09] stockholm: yes. It's actually not that bad, though the first thing I turned on was ssh so I can use the CLI to the RSA cards too [10:12] torkel: yes that was what i wanted to do too. [10:25] torkel: so you configure grub and init to use the serial port and use the ssh-to-com0 redirection or so? [10:28] stockholm: yes. But you have to change it to use com1 aka ttyS1 [10:46] torkel: that is fine to me :-) [10:47] torkel: do you have some scripts or configfiles or so to do that nicely? :-) [10:53] stockholm: which of it? Changing the BIOS? or setting up grub/init? [11:50] h01ger: sollen wir Lucasfilm FAI Enterprise Lizenzen verkaufen? ;-) [11:53] ne, aber spammen mit produktinformationen :) [12:35] torkel: do you have several? then i would like all :-) [12:51] stockholm: we are using ASU to set up the BIOS. [12:51] stockholm: http://www.hpc2n.umu.se/staff/torkel/fai/40-serialconsole to grab the serial settings (in class) [12:52] stockholm: and http://www.hpc2n.umu.se/staff/torkel/fai/11-grub in scripts/... to modify grub [12:54] stockholm: and finally we have files for each serial setting in files/etc/event.d/... [13:07] dont you run a getty on /dev/ttyS1 or so in /etc/inittab? [13:07] torkel: ^ [13:08] stockholm: ubuntu uses upstart nowdays so they are put in /etc/event.d/ttyXX [13:08] ah [13:10] torkel: what did you do with firmware upgrades? min kollega frågar om vi kan bjuder er till win och bröd när de kommer till stockholm [13:11] stockholm: you can do most of the upgrades from within the running OS [13:12] stockholm: upgrades of the RSA cards we do from the CLI [13:14] rgsteele||work (~chatzilla@75.147.74.137) joined #fai. [13:15] stockholm: wine sounds good, except that we are in Umeå, not in Stockholm :-) [13:16] Hm. As long as a repository is in /etc/fai/apt/sources.list, packages can be fetched from it during fai-setup's debootstrapping phase and installed in the nfsroot, correct? [13:16] Ah, nevermind, that was pretty much a rhetorical question :) [13:19] torkel: "when you come to stockholm" [13:19] torkel: surely you will come to stockholm for shopping? if you need new supplies for your life in the wilderness? :-) [14:13] ErKa (keryell@m5.wifi.enstb.org) left irc: Ping timeout: 480 seconds [14:24] Weird. 3.2.10 has dm-mod listed in the kernel options in 20-hwdetect.source, but /dev/mapper isn't available (when I got dropped in to the initramfs emergency shell). [14:24] I guess FAI didn't generate an initrd with that in there? [14:35] rgsteele||work: maybe. But when you are dropped into the initrd shell, 20hwdetect.source is not yet executed [14:37] Mrfai: Well, the root filesystem is on LVM, so I'll need to regenerate the initrd image with mkinitramfs so it loads dm_mod. [14:38] But, the example on the wiki has root on LVM, and makes no mention of having to do this. [14:38] http://faiwiki.informatik.uni-koeln.de/index.php/Setup-storage [14:38] The simple example [14:49] Ah, I think I understand. update-initramfs doesn't install mdadm/lvm support unles the lvm2/mdadm packages are defined in the client's package_config [14:56] stockholm: I have been living there for a few years so I try to avoid it nowdayes, unfortunately I still have a lot of friends there that wants us to come visit them once in a while [14:56] :-) [15:06] ah, friends... such a hassel... :-) [15:19] Woot! That worked! [15:19] Mrfai: Care if I add that tidbit of knowledge to the setup-storage wiki? [15:57] add it up!! [15:57] that what wikis are for [16:02] i got an error during booting the install, i got an error when he try to mount /root . i guess it's a basic error, i only found someone asking for the same question in chan log but no answer [16:03] fai: 3 mt committed revision 5180 to 7 fai: important bugfixes for setup-storage [16:03] fai: - handle new error messages as used in parted [16:03] fai: - fixed bugs in command sorting [16:04] the error i got is : mount aufs on /root failed with option noatime,dirs=/cow=rw:/live/image/live/filesystem.dir=rr [16:07] oz_: Don't suppose you have permissions to add a user to the wiki for me? [16:20] so, it seams that it cant mount the nfsroot but my nfsd showing me a regular accepted request. [16:20] If we like to include the changes from 5180, I would prefer that a lot of people test them and give feedback. [16:21] fai: 3 mt committed revision 5181 to 7 fai: added missing part of patch for Volumes.pm [16:27] siggg (~jean@91-165-186-81.rev.libertysurf.net) left irc: Ping timeout: 480 seconds [16:29] why is $FAI_CONFIGDIR /srv/fai/config during an install? [16:29] $FAI points to where the config dir is mounted, in comparison. [16:29] should i use $FAI to access bin/script in my configdir if i want to run special stuff? [16:38] so i guess i found solution to my problem. just that live thing use aufs instead of unionfs on lenny install. [17:13] ErKa (~keryell@keryell.pck.nerim.net) joined #fai.
