| rgsteele||work (~rgsteele@75.147.74.137) joined #fai. |
| 14:26 rgsteele||work | Does 'fcopy -i' just ignore warnings and copy the file regardless of class? Or does it just suppress the error so you exit with a 0 return code? |
| 14:36 h01ger | the latter |
| 14:41 rgsteele||work | h01ger: Thanks. And, just to be clear, 'fcopy -c' allows you to define another class so you can copy a file outside of the list of classes the client belongs to, correct? |
| 14:42 h01ger | i think so |
| 14:42 rgsteele||work | And that new class is only defined for the fcopy, correct? |
| 14:42 h01ger | but i dont see where i would want to use that |
| 14:42 h01ger | i think so |
| 14:42 h01ger | but i dont see where i would want to use that :) |
| 14:42 rgsteele||work | Mkay |
| 14:42 rgsteele||work | h01ger: I do :) |
| 14:42 h01ger | i'd rather add the host to another class |
| 14:42 h01ger | what for? |
| 14:43 rgsteele||work | I have a couple of classes that need to make use of a file, but the file doesn't warrant it's own class. |
| 14:43 h01ger | use hostname classes? |
| 14:44 rgsteele||work | PITA, especially if there are a lot of hosts in each class, with varying names. |
| 14:44 h01ger | i'd say those warrant their own classes and fcopy-postinst scripts :) but i need to reboot, brb |

| 16:26 toni | hi there. I have a quick FAI question. I'm currently setting up FAI on Debian Lenny. It almost all works well, with one annoying problem. |
| 16:27 oz_ | which is...? |
| 16:27 toni | The DHCP request that FAI does is hanging for 10-15 minutes during each install. |
| 16:27 oz_ | it's asking on the wrong NIC, I guess? |
| 16:27 toni | the first DHCP request in the PXE works well, and the subsquent DHCP requests that the installed client does later on are fine. |
| 16:28 toni | I've heard about that issue, but i only have one nic |
| 16:28 toni | I'm running this on an VMware ESX3i |
| 16:28 oz_ | okay, this can't be the problem, then:) |
| 16:29 toni | I made a screenshot, that shows the timeout: http://screencast.com/t/OjIs4fc8veI |
| 16:29 toni | actually its not really a timeout ;-) it works after 10-15 minutes |
| 16:37 toni | hmm...strange, now it seems to work again.... must be some local network issue. |
| 16:37 toni | disregard my issue for the moment ;-) |
| 16:38 oz_ | :-) |
| siggg (~jean@tra78-1-87-88-161-80.dsl.club-internet.fr) left irc: Ping timeout: 480 seconds |
| 16:52 toni | okay, i think i found the issue. my dhcpd was not properly configured and this caused the ip-config call of FAI to hang. |
| 16:52 toni | i've made a static ip reservation in the dynamic range of the dhcpd. |
| 16:52 toni | the dhcpd complains about this in the logs: |
| 16:53 toni | Mar 9 17:47:04 core03 dhcpd: DHCPDISCOVER from 00:0c:29:7c:f6:0f via eth0 |

| 16:53 toni | its funny though that the FAI client hangs on this, as the DHCPACK is clearly sent. |

| 18:33 bIGwORK | jemand in Deutsch hier oder? Or is this Channel english only ? |
| 18:34 bIGwORK | na ja viele leute mit de Domain hier ich versuch es einfach mal auf Deutsch ;-= |
| 18:35 bIGwORK | ich muss für VMWare Partitionen mit einem Startblock von 64 anlegen |
| 18:35 bIGwORK | ist auch mit parted kein problem aber wie überpringe ich die paritionierung von fai |
| 18:36 bIGwORK | die fstab und disk_var.sh müssen ja da sein sonst geht es nicht |
| 18:52 lazyb0y | bIGwORK: skiptask partition. fai-guide lesen. |
| 18:53 lazyb0y | so richtig verstehe ich aber nicht, was du da genau machst. man kann jedenfalls das ganze partitionieren so ueberspringen |
| 18:53 bIGwORK | nein ich will das von hand machen |
| 18:53 bIGwORK | ich kann leider im config file nicht angeben wo die Partion starten soll |
| 18:54 bIGwORK | die geht also immer bei block 63 los |
| 18:54 bIGwORK | damit kriege ich aber misalignte vmdk Files unter VMware |
| 18:55 bIGwORK | d.H. ich muss immer 2 Blöcke anfassen wenn ich nur einen haben will |
| 18:58 bIGwORK | ok das hab ich jetzt müsste ich nur noch wissen ob es irgendwie eine möglichkeit gibt mein Script auszuführen das die Partionierung macht und die Partionen erzeugt und letztendlich die fstab und disk_var.sh erzeiht damit fai auch weiss wo er installeren soll |
| 18:59 lazyb0y | bIGwORK: fai-guide lesen. hooks. |
| 18:59 bIGwORK | hmm |
| 18:59 bIGwORK | guter man |
| 19:00 lazyb0y | und den fai-guide dann vielleicht mal ganz lesen :) |
| 19:00 bIGwORK | jo glaub ich auch |
| 19:00 bIGwORK | danke erstmal |
| 19:01 lazyb0y | fai ist extrem flexibel, es gibt eigentlich nichts, was man irgendwie skripten kann, was nicht moeglich waere. |
| 19:01 lazyb0y | und das meiste ist im fai-guide und in den mitgelieferten beispielen erklaert und demonstriert |
| 19:02 lazyb0y | zugegebenermassen koennten die beispiele etwas mehr doku vertragen :) |
| 19:05 bIGwORK | jo |
| 19:06 bIGwORK | na aber ich glaube ich bekomme das so hin |
| 19:08 lazyb0y | ohne doku lesen? hmm |
| 19:09 bIGwORK | nein mit lesen |
| 19:09 bIGwORK | bin noch dabei |
| 19:09 bIGwORK | aber ich hab die richtigen Punkte nur nicht gefunden |
| 19:10 bIGwORK | aber jetzt mit den hooks und den skiptasks sollte das gehten |
| 19:10 bIGwORK | das skip geht schon |
| 19:11 bIGwORK | jetzt sagt er zumindest das er keine Partitionen zum installieren hat |
| 19:12 bIGwORK | jetzt schreib ich mir erst mal in ruhe das Script das die Parted sachen macht und die files für FAI erzeugt |
| 19:16 lazyb0y | hmm |
| 19:17 bIGwORK | schade ist das das disk_config das nicht kann weil das ruft ja auch parted auf |
| 19:18 lazyb0y | schreib ne mail an die devel liste. |
| 19:18 lazyb0y | wenn etwas mit vertretbarem aufwand machbar ist, wird michael das einbauen |
| 19:18 lazyb0y | und da steht, wie man es bei xen macht, wenn man keine partitionierung macht: |
| 19:18 lazyb0y | http://faiwiki.informatik.uni-koeln.de/index.php/Using_FAI_to_set_up_XEN_domains |
| 19:19 lazyb0y | ich verstehe aber gar nicht, warum vmware nicht mit einem disk layout klarkommt, wie es sonst auch ueblich ist |
| 19:19 bIGwORK | ja ich brauch ja paritionireung aber halt ein wenig speziel |
| 19:19 bIGwORK | mom |
| 19:20 bIGwORK | http://www.vmware.com/pdf/esx3_partition_align.pdf |
| 19:21 bIGwORK | Seite 5 und 6 erklären das problem |
| 19:22 bIGwORK | wir haben hier ca 50 Virtuelle Maschienen die auch gut Storage last machen und wenn die alle Doppelt so viel auf der Platte machen wie nötig ist das nicht wirklich gut |
| 19:26 bIGwORK | das problem haben quasi alle die mit VMWare arbeiten. |
| 19:27 bIGwORK | noch schlimmer wird es dann wenn man VMWare und zentrales Storage benutzt |
| 19:27 bIGwORK | zum glück sind die VMFS Partiotionen alle OK gewesen |
| 19:29 lazyb0y | sag ich ja, ich verstehe nicht, warum nur vmware das nicht hinbekommt, auch mit normalen layout effizient zu arbeiten. |
| 19:30 lazyb0y | naja, egal, kann ich mal dran denken wenn ich das naechste mal traurig bin, warum ich beim virtualisieren immer wieder was an der konsole machen muss und nicht alles schoen zurechtklicken kann... |
| 19:31 bIGwORK | ;-) |
| 19:52 bIGwORK | so danke nochmal hat alles funktioniert jetzt |
| 19:52 bIGwORK | anleitung lesen hilft halt doch hin und wieder |
