| 09:53 stockholm | torkel: do you manage to use the webinterface to the ibm RSA cards? |
| 10:06 h01ger | Mrfai, http://highscalability.com/lucasfilm-real-magic-data-center |
| 10:09 torkel | 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 stockholm | torkel: yes that was what i wanted to do too. |
| 10:25 stockholm | torkel: so you configure grub and init to use the serial port and use the ssh-to-com0 redirection or so? |
| 10:28 torkel | stockholm: yes. But you have to change it to use com1 aka ttyS1 |
| 10:46 stockholm | torkel: that is fine to me :-) |
| 10:47 stockholm | torkel: do you have some scripts or configfiles or so to do that nicely? :-) |
| 10:53 torkel | stockholm: which of it? Changing the BIOS? or setting up grub/init? |
| 11:50 Mrfai | h01ger: sollen wir Lucasfilm FAI Enterprise Lizenzen verkaufen? ;-) |
| 11:53 h01ger | ne, aber spammen mit produktinformationen :) |
| 12:35 stockholm | torkel: do you have several? then i would like all :-) |
| 12:51 torkel | stockholm: we are using ASU to set up the BIOS. |
| 12:51 torkel | stockholm: http://www.hpc2n.umu.se/staff/torkel/fai/40-serialconsole to grab the serial settings (in class) |
| 12:52 torkel | stockholm: and http://www.hpc2n.umu.se/staff/torkel/fai/11-grub in scripts/... to modify grub |
| 12:54 torkel | stockholm: and finally we have files for each serial setting in files/etc/event.d/... |
| 13:07 stockholm | dont you run a getty on /dev/ttyS1 or so in /etc/inittab? |
| 13:07 stockholm | torkel: ^ |
| 13:08 torkel | stockholm: ubuntu uses upstart nowdays so they are put in /etc/event.d/ttyXX |
| 13:08 stockholm | ah |
| 13:10 stockholm | 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 torkel | stockholm: you can do most of the upgrades from within the running OS |
| 13:12 torkel | stockholm: upgrades of the RSA cards we do from the CLI |

| 13:15 torkel | stockholm: wine sounds good, except that we are in Umeå, not in Stockholm :-) |
| 13:16 rgsteele||work | 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 rgsteele||work | Ah, nevermind, that was pretty much a rhetorical question :) |
| 13:19 stockholm | torkel: "when you come to stockholm" |
| 13:19 stockholm | torkel: surely you will come to stockholm for shopping? if you need new supplies for your life in the wilderness? :-) |

| 14:24 rgsteele||work | 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 rgsteele||work | I guess FAI didn't generate an initrd with that in there? |
| 14:35 Mrfai | rgsteele||work: maybe. But when you are dropped into the initrd shell, 20hwdetect.source is not yet executed |
| 14:37 rgsteele||work | 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 rgsteele||work | But, the example on the wiki has root on LVM, and makes no mention of having to do this. |
| 14:38 rgsteele||work | http://faiwiki.informatik.uni-koeln.de/index.php/Setup-storage |
| 14:38 rgsteele||work | The simple example |
| 14:49 rgsteele||work | 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 torkel | 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 torkel | :-) |
| 15:06 stockholm | ah, friends... such a hassel... :-) |
| 15:19 rgsteele||work | Woot! That worked! |
| 15:19 rgsteele||work | Mrfai: Care if I add that tidbit of knowledge to the setup-storage wiki? |
| 15:57 oz_ | add it up!! |
| 15:57 oz_ | that what wikis are for |
| 16:02 yopyop | 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 FBI | fai: 3 mt committed revision 5180 to 7 fai: important bugfixes for setup-storage |
| 16:03 FBI | fai: - handle new error messages as used in parted |
| 16:03 FBI | fai: - fixed bugs in command sorting |
| 16:04 yopyop | the error i got is : mount aufs on /root failed with option noatime,dirs=/cow=rw:/live/image/live/filesystem.dir=rr |
| 16:07 rgsteele||work | oz_: Don't suppose you have permissions to add a user to the wiki for me? |
| 16:20 yopyop | so, it seams that it cant mount the nfsroot but my nfsd showing me a regular accepted request. |
| 16:20 Mrfai | If we like to include the changes from 5180, I would prefer that a lot of people test them and give feedback. |
| 16:21 FBI | fai: 3 mt committed revision 5181 to 7 fai: added missing part of patch for Volumes.pm |

| 16:29 stockholm | why is $FAI_CONFIGDIR /srv/fai/config during an install? |
| 16:29 stockholm | $FAI points to where the config dir is mounted, in comparison. |
| 16:29 stockholm | should i use $FAI to access bin/script in my configdir if i want to run special stuff? |
| 16:38 yopyop | so i guess i found solution to my problem. just that live thing use aufs instead of unionfs on lenny install. |
