[08:40] allee-k (~allee-k@p54A44D5F.dip.t-dialin.net) left irc: Ping timeout: 480 seconds [08:45] incognitu: typically, you would not need to 'point' dhcp anywhere. As long as the (install/DHCP) client and the DHCP server (even if its different from the install server) are in the same network, the client should get an IP address via DHCP. [08:46] incognitu: however, the client then still needs two things: a TFTP server for PXE booting (your Windows server might be able to provide that) and the FAI server. [08:47] but 2 dhcp serer in the same network is that gonna work? [08:47] *servers [08:47] incognitu: it's probably not a good idea :-) but turning off the linux DHCP server is easy, if you don't need it for anything else [08:48] we have now wds running on windows 2008 which uses the windows dhcp [08:48] morning, what are the steps if i want to use a newer Kernel for the clients. The new Kernel and the Ramdisk are in /srv/tftp/fai. The PXE cfg is correct, but i get an initramfs live error during the reboot. [08:48] incognitu, if you configure them as failovers for eachother. or if you configure them with only static mac mappings. or if you use a common backedn like sql or ldap. it's ok [08:48] if you simply have 2 dhcp servers it's a recipe for FAIL ! [08:48] so its possible to turn off dhcp on my fai install server [08:49] anyone of you got documentation how to set it up? [08:49] incognitu: sure, just do something like /etc/init.d/dhcp3-server stop [08:49] hehe yes [08:50] just not sure how to set it up properly [08:51] incognitu, in your windows dhcp server you can seet up mac mappings pointing to your fai servers tftp pxelinux config. [08:51] incognitu: note however that your primary DHCP server needs to send the 'next-server' DHCP option along with its DHCP ACKS. The 'next-server' tells the client, which TFTP server to get the PXE files (kernel() from [08:51] yes sep u mean with 66 67 and 17 option? [08:51] but i fear it will conflict with the wds's bootp server [08:52] yeah [08:52] thats done already [08:52] not sure what takes precedence. [08:52] since wds also sends those options, but pointing to the wds server [08:52] perhaps only for machines defined ? [08:52] how can i activate the next boot server? [08:53] because it defualt starts wds on network boot [08:53] Steffen: install the newer kernel in the NFS root file system and then copy the new kernel image and initrd to your TFTP server directory [08:53] just shut down that win dhcp server [08:53] ain't no use in running windows servers ;) [08:53] no i cant [08:53] Steffen: if you are using customized base images, you want to install the new kernel in those, too. [08:56] Steffen: oh, and you need to update the syslinux config file (in the pxelinux.cfg/ directory in your TFTP server directory) that points to the boot kernel, of course [08:57] Steffen: oh, *and* I should read your whole message before replying :-/ [08:57] ;) [08:58] Steffen: so was the ramdisk created in the NFS root? What's the error message you get? [08:59] ErKa (keryell@dhcp3.info.enstb.org) joined #fai.

[09:10] I don't know the way to install the new Kernel into teh nfsroot. Perhaps you some suggestions? [09:15] Steffen: just do a chroot /srv/fai/nfsroot and then use apt-get or aptitude to install the newer kernel. That will automatically re-create the initrd as well (in the NFS root of course). [09:16] Steffen: you may need to do 'mount /proc /srv/fai/nfsroot/proc -o bind' before chroot'ing into it (and maybe even for /sys, too). Kernel installations might depend on these two directories being available. [09:46] verwilst (~verwilst@router.begen1.office.netnoc.eu) joined #fai.

My suggestion of installing a new kernel into the NFS root works well for me with the kernel and aufs-module packages from Debian testing, for what it's worth.

The man page of fcopy will tell you where to put the smb.conf exactly and how to name it.
