| 08:28 incognitu | it it possible to use the windows dhcp server for my fai installation? |
| 08:30 oz_ | if that can do pxebooting... |
| allee-k_ (~allee-k@p54A44D5F.dip.t-dialin.net) joined #fai. |
| 08:36 incognitu | turned on 66 67 and 017 on |
| 08:37 incognitu | just wanted to know how to point my debianfai dhcp to windows dhcp |

| 08:45 BlindBunny | 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 BlindBunny | 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 incognitu | but 2 dhcp serer in the same network is that gonna work? |
| 08:47 incognitu | *servers |
| 08:47 BlindBunny | 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 incognitu | we have now wds running on windows 2008 which uses the windows dhcp |
| 08:48 Steffen | 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 sep | 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 sep | if you simply have 2 dhcp servers it's a recipe for FAIL ! |
| 08:48 incognitu | so its possible to turn off dhcp on my fai install server |
| 08:49 incognitu | anyone of you got documentation how to set it up? |
| 08:49 BlindBunny | incognitu: sure, just do something like /etc/init.d/dhcp3-server stop |
| 08:49 incognitu | hehe yes |
| 08:50 incognitu | just not sure how to set it up properly |
| 08:51 sep | incognitu, in your windows dhcp server you can seet up mac mappings pointing to your fai servers tftp pxelinux config. |
| 08:51 BlindBunny | 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 incognitu | yes sep u mean with 66 67 and 17 option? |
| 08:51 sep | but i fear it will conflict with the wds's bootp server |
| 08:52 sep | yeah |
| 08:52 incognitu | thats done already |
| 08:52 sep | not sure what takes precedence. |
| 08:52 sep | since wds also sends those options, but pointing to the wds server |
| 08:52 sep | perhaps only for machines defined ? |
| 08:52 incognitu | how can i activate the next boot server? |
| 08:53 incognitu | because it defualt starts wds on network boot |
| 08:53 BlindBunny | 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 oz_ | just shut down that win dhcp server |
| 08:53 oz_ | ain't no use in running windows servers ;) |
| 08:53 incognitu | no i cant |
| 08:53 BlindBunny | Steffen: if you are using customized base images, you want to install the new kernel in those, too. |
| 08:56 BlindBunny | 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 BlindBunny | Steffen: oh, *and* I should read your whole message before replying :-/ |
| 08:57 Steffen | ;) |
| 08:58 BlindBunny | Steffen: so was the ramdisk created in the NFS root? What's the error message you get? |

| siggg (~jean@AVelizy-151-1-57-107.w82-120.abo.wanadoo.fr) left irc: Read error: Connection reset by peer |
| 09:09 Steffen | ok, first i have to install the newer kernel into the nfsroot and then do a chroot /srv/fai/nfsroot && mkinitramfs -v -o initrd.gz? |
| 09:10 Steffen | I don't know the way to install the new Kernel into teh nfsroot. Perhaps you some suggestions? |
| 09:15 BlindBunny | 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 BlindBunny | 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. |

| 10:56 mgoetze | Steffen: here's an example of how to do it right: http://faiwiki.informatik.uni-koeln.de/index.php/Grml_Kernel |
| 10:58 Steffen | ok w'll try it after lunch ;), thx |
| ErKa (keryell@dhcp3.info.enstb.org) left irc: Ping timeout: 480 seconds |
| 11:52 BlindBunny | Steffen: ah, yeah, I forgot about aufs. 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. But the GRML solution looks even simpler. |
| 12:37 donnie_darko | Habt ihr schon mal die bnx2 firmware in das initrd bekommen? |
| 12:38 \sh | donnie_darko, non free drivers oder? |
| 12:39 \sh | ii firmware-bnx2 0.14+lenny1 Binary firmware for Broadcom NetXtremeII |
| 12:39 \sh | ja...ist hier drin... |
| 12:39 donnie_darko | <\sh> Jap, hab schon zum installieren beim erstellen fai-nfsroot dazugegeben, hat aber leider noch nichts gebracht |
| 12:40 \sh | donnie_darko, hast den sources.list die non-free pocket mitbeigebracht? |
| 12:40 donnie_darko | Jap, er hat sie auch auf im nfsroot drin unter /lib/firmware/ aber nicht im initrd |
| 12:42 \sh | donnie_darko, ich glaube ich hab nachdem das installiert im nfsroot lag einfach aus $NFSROOT/boot/ das resultierende kernel image und initrd.img mitgenommen...und dann auf den tftp server gelegt... |
| 12:43 donnie_darko | Mkay, mal testen, danke :) |
| 12:44 \sh | donnie_darko, es geht hier auf alle faelle...dank hp hardware + non-free debian pocket, ein wenig umstaendlich aber denoch #no-fail ;) |

| 15:41 incognitu | hello i have added samba as package and that works fine.. but i also wants a preconfigured smb.conf applied on the faiclient |
| 15:41 incognitu | how should i do that? |
| ErKa (keryell@dhcp3.info.enstb.org) left irc: Ping timeout: 480 seconds |
| 15:56 BlindBunny | incognitu: one way is to use fcopy (man fcopy). 1) put your smb.conf in /srv/fai/config/files/... 2) put a script into /srv/fai/config/scripts/ that calls fcopy. The man page of fcopy will tell you where to put the smb.conf exactly and how to name it. |
