| 10:30 edoreld1 | How come in "50-host-classes" the host faiserver gets FAIBASE & FAIBASE defined, considering they both have a different configuration for disk partitioning... don't they both get executed? |
| 10:32 sep | no the last class in the list that have a partition file is used |
| 10:32 edoreld1 | does that only happen for disk partitioning? |
| 10:32 edoreld1 | I mean, only one of them getting executed |
| 10:34 sep | well if you compare to eg scripts then yes |
| 10:34 edoreld1 | I see, thanks for the info ^_^ |

| 11:07 telmich | hmpf, looks like I got to debug the lvm issue myself |
| 11:08 telmich | I'm currently looking at /usr/share/fai/setup-storage/Volumes.pm, adding "return;" as first line in get_current_lvm(), at least makes things work further |
| 11:11 telmich | but now it fails when calling /lib/udev/vol_id /dev/hda[123] |
| 11:11 telmich | (exit status 3) |

| 12:15 stockholm | when is disk_var.sh copied to /var/lib/fai? |
| 12:16 stockholm | if it is missing softupdates mess up grub and reboots dont work anymore |
| 12:38 edoreld1 | How can I change the screen that appears just before you login on a fai-installed client? Also, what's it called :P? |

| 14:39 edoreld1 | Is it possible with FAI to get a list of possible hosts to install to select from? My boss tells me he knows this is possible, but I haven't read anything about it... |
| 14:48 edoreld1 | Oops, syntax demon... |
| 14:49 edoreld1 | What I want is a menu that shows up on client boot, which let me chooses which kind of machine will get installed from fai-server |
| 14:50 mgoetze | edoreld1: you can of course run interactive scripts in class/ |
| 14:51 edoreld1 | hmm perhaps that might do the trick :) |
| 14:51 mgoetze | though i fear with your lack of unix knowledge you will have a hard time with that :) |
| 14:53 edoreld1 | meh |
| 14:53 edoreld1 | I can do that |
| 14:54 edoreld1 | But if I run a custom script, then I will lose the ability to run my classes. For example, now I define the class FIREWALL to install a hosts with firewall-specific configurations. If I have to run an interactive script to customize the configuration for a firewall, then I don't know which classes I have to define first! |
| 14:55 edoreld1 | Of course I can define common classes that everyone shares, but specific ones aren't know until the menu option is chosen |
| 14:57 edoreld1 | Unless classes can be defined after I run my custom script...now can they? |
| 14:57 mgoetze | sure |
| 14:58 mgoetze | ifclass FOO && echo BAR |
| 14:58 edoreld1 | ah |
| 14:58 edoreld1 | so easy !? |
| 14:58 edoreld1 | :) |
| 14:58 mgoetze | of course it's easy, th hard part is the interactive script |
| 15:00 edoreld1 | I'm certainly missing something here, but what is hard about the script? |
| 15:02 mgoetze | setting up the terminal so it behaves nicely, for instance :) |
| 15:02 edoreld1 | oh... |
| 15:02 edoreld1 | I was kinda hoping it was worked out of the box :) |
| 15:03 edoreld1 | like: echo "What ya wanna install?" |
| 15:03 edoreld1 | read answer |
| 15:03 edoreld1 | ^^ |
| 15:03 edoreld1 | more sophisticated than that.. |
| 15:06 mgoetze | well you go ahead and write the script, i'm sure you'll see how easy it is :) i don't know why you want to do this, so... |
| 15:10 edoreld1 | I don't really want to, it's my boss. |
| 15:10 edoreld1 | He says he's already seen it in action |
| 15:11 edoreld1 | this should be in a situation where any client that boots from pxe connected to the fai server is allowed to use fai |
| 15:11 edoreld1 | so if u want to install a firewall, just connect it to fai-server, boot it up on pxe, choose firewall from a menu, and let it run |
| 15:12 mgoetze | the question is why you don't already know that it should be a firewall |
| 15:14 edoreld1 | Before it gets installed of course I know it's a firewall. Or a businesserver, or whatever. But instead of having to change the conf files in dhcpd.conf, it should let me choose from a menu what i want to install. In that case I will choose firewall |
| 15:15 simNIX | maybe just xa pxelinux menu ? |
| 15:15 simNIX | pxe |
| 15:15 simNIX | a |
| 15:15 simNIX | (what he seen) |
| 15:15 mgoetze | yeah probably |
| 15:16 simNIX | a preseed per choiche |
| 15:16 simNIX | but that would IMHO defaut benefit FAI |
| 15:16 mgoetze | actually here at work we have a complicated pxelinux setup where you can install via various fai servers, but also rhel kickstart, suse, etc. |
| 15:16 simNIX | defeat |
| 15:16 simNIX | aha |
| 15:17 edoreld1 | nice |
