Yes, PXE boot is the first issue you have to solve. We do not have IA4
machine here in our lab so we did not try to make that before. Do you
know any network booting mechanism in IA64 arch?

Besides, you have to recompile the programs on IA4 arch, I am not sure
all of them can be compiled and run successfully on IA64.

I think once you make the network booting mechanism work there, then the
rest should be easier...

Support for Integrity architecture

2009-12-07T09:24:59Z

Good Morning,

I was curious if anyone has found a way or has any suggestions on how DRBL with Clonezilla could be enabled for support with Intel IA64 (Integrity) platforms. We’ve been using DRBL-Clonezilla as a solution for management of operating system images for HP Proliant servers in our test lab for several months now. I have a handful of Integrity servers that I would like to roll into the mix but I’m unsure if this is feasible.

The first hurdle of course would be to get those machines booting via PXE and from what I’ve ready pxelinux does not support that architecture but elilo might. Secondly, all the binaries used in the Clonezilla environment are NFS mounted and built for ia32 so I would need to obtain or build by hand those utilities for ia64.

Does anyone have any suggestions or do the DRBL developers have any pointers that could help out?

Thanks

-Peter Knox

Hi Steve,

Thanks - masquerading was the issue, the clients are now working.

Actually setting up the firewall was not as simple as I had hoped but I've documented it now for my future reference :)

DRBL and Firewalls

Hi All,

I'm trying to use ufw as a firewall on our DRBL Server. Is there a list of ports that I should open?

I've opened some of the ports so that our clients can boot and login in, but they do not have Internet access.

Thanks in advance.

Re: apt-get install in the DRBL client

2009-11-13T16:40:25Z

It doesn't work that way. The DRBL clients only have read-only access
to /usr on the server. If you want to install something on the clients,
it must be done from the server.

You can install some monitoring tool by yourself, e.g. ganglia.
Or you can use the command:
/opt/drbl/bin/drbl-doit uptime
or
/opt/drbl/bin/drbl-doit w
or whatever command you want it to be run on the clients.

Re: How to set up a client with a specific graphic card

2009-11-07T05:40:19Z

Hi Tim,
Which version of GNU/Linux are you using?
Some distribution, e.g. Ubuntu 9.04, by default /etc/X11/xorg.conf does
not exist anymore. However, you can manually create that. I mean to use
a text editor to write it.

How to set up a client with a specific graphic card

2009-11-05T04:57:36Z

Hi all,

One of our client machines has an Nvidia card. I've seen the DRBL FAQ about getting the modules and I have a couple of questions about how to get the client to use the Nvidia driver.

Our Server and clients use the same kernel. I believe the restricted Nvidia packages are already installed on the Server - that is I get a list of Nvidia files when I use 'locate nvidia'.

When the client boots the xorg log identifies nvidia but cannot identify the chipset:

(II) NV: driver for NVIDIA chipsets: RIVA 128, RIVA TNT, RIVA TNT2,
(--) Chipset Unknown NVIDIA chip found
(--) NV(0): Chipset: "Unknown NVIDIA chipset"

The clients has the nvidia module (I've added this to the specific clients modules file), and there is nvidia-kernel in the /etc/init.d

In the /etc/X11 there is no xorg.conf, so do I need to add the nvidia-kernel service and how do I create an xorg-conf file for the client to use.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Tim.

Re: deploy windows xp images

2009-10-26T11:59:27Z

you can certainly do that!

Use PXE in the PCs so that they connect to the DRBL server, and have their custom made or generic images pushed to them. The clonezilla component of DRBL is what permits this, and it can be used to save and push virtually any OS.

Note that we are talking about images here, not clean automated or scripted installations, which would require a different solution.

Go to http://drbl.sourceforge.net/ , then "Screenshots and Photos" (left menu) and then to Clonezilla (middle of the screen option links). That can give you and idea of what you can expect.

Thanks,

Re: Using drbl-doit for remote messaging

2009-10-22T02:47:15Z

Hi Steven,

Both DRBL Servers are running the latest version of DRBL.

I have found that my issue is nothing to do with DRBL. It's to do with how Jaunty and Hardy login a user differently. In Jaunty when a user logs in a script is run to add the user to xhost as SI:localuser:<username> whereas Hardy does not do this.

The precise different under Jaunty is in the /etc/X11/Session.d. There is a file called 60x11-common_localhost which gets sourced by Xsession and somehow run (I'm still learning the nuts and bolts of Ubuntu :) ) when someone logs in.

I guess on Hardy I could just use the copy of the same file. For any future installation of DRBL I think we'll be using Jaunty anyway.

BTW although my remote messaging script is not perfect (or the prettiest :) ) is there a place I can publish it along with instructions to give access to it for the DRBL Community?

Regards,

Tim.

Hi Tim,
OK.
BTW, are you using the same DRBL version on your hardy and jaunty machines?

Re: Using drbl-doit for remote messaging

Hi Steven,

Sorry, when I said 'live' server I meant the actual server we use from
day to day, not the DRBL Live.

So I have a DRBL Server running on Hardy and another running on Jaunty -
and my script runs correctly on the Jaunty DRBL Server, but not under
Hardy. I think it may be to do with the flavour of Ubuntu. When I look
at a stand-alone machine with Jaunty installed it also has
SI:localuser:<username>.

I'm just trying to figure out how to make it work on the Hardy DRBL
Server...

Regards,

Tim.

DRBL live is based on Debian lenny, maybe that's why it's different from
your Ubuntu jaunty?

Re: Breaking out NFS for DRBL

I'll try it if we get a chance. We're up and running current version
installed from stable (1.9.4-47), and will be committed to it for the
time being. I should be able to test the new one in a couple weeks.

Re: Breaking out NFS for DRBL

2009-10-12T01:40:20Z

Hi Michael,
OK, I found a good way to fix it.
This problem should have been fixed in drbl 1.9.4-70 or later (unstable
branch), could you please give it a try?

Please let us know the results if you test it.
Thanks.

Steven.

Re: Breaking out NFS for DRBL

2009-10-12T01:13:21Z

Hi Michael,
Thanks for the bug report.
Yes, the /etc/fstab will be modified by
/opt/drbl/sbin/drbl-ssi-client-prepare when the client boots.
drbl-ssi-client-prepare will replace the NFS server IP address from the
template to be the one of DRBL server. It happens to replace your
config, i.e.
10.224.23.120:/export/opt /opt nfs
ro,rsize=65536,wsize=65536,tcp,,defaults 0 0
will be replaced to be
10.224.35.2:/export/opt /opt nfs
ro,rsize=65536,wsize=65536,tcp,,defaults 0 0

I am thinking a better way to make it work now. If you have a good
suggestion to make drbl-ssi-client-prepare won't replace the wrong line,
please let me know.

Steven.

Using drbl-doit for remote messaging

2009-10-09T04:15:27Z

Hi all,

Thanks to the responses from my other email thread: "Is there a way to display a message on the clients?2"‏ I've been able to create a script to display a message on the DRBL clients. I have one more hurdle to cross though :)

I set up a test DRBL Server (rather than use the live Server). I installed Jaunty and got DRBL up and running. My script worked fine on this setup, but when I moved to the live server I got the 'cannot open display error' with regards to the display.

The live server is Hardy and the only difference I can see at the moment is the xhost setup.

On the test DRBL client (using the Jaunty DRBL server) typing in xhost in a terminal I see the following entry:

SI:localuser:<username>

But on the live DRBL client (using the Hardy DRBL Server) running xhost shows no entries. If I do xhost +SI:localuser:<username> on the client then the script is able to display the message. I'm now wondering why the live DRBL client does not have an entry.

I cannot remember doing anything different on the Jaunty DRBL server to the Hardy DRBL server. Is this because there is a difference between how Hardy and Jaunty works/installs itself or have I missed something?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Tim.

Re: Breaking out NFS for DRBL

2009-10-06T10:38:03Z

This is in SSI mode, version 1.9.4-47.

Description of problem:
IPs of NFS servers specified in client-append-fstab are changed to the
DRBL server's IP

How reproducible:
Edit client-append-fstab and add an NFS mount via IP.

Steps to Reproduce:
Edited client-append-fstab and added:
10.224.23.120:/export/opt /opt nfs ro,rsize=65536,wsize=65536,tcp,,defaults 0 0
Then ran /opt/drbl/sbin/drblpush -c /etc/drbl/drblpush.conf

Actual results:
When client is booted, /etc/fstab on client shows:
10.224.35.2:/export/opt /opt nfs ro,rsize=65536,wsize=65536,tcp,,defaults 0 0
This fails to mount, since /opt isn't kept in /export/opt on the DRBL
server.

Expected results:
Client mounts 10.224.23.120:/export/opt over /opt
Problem does not occur when server is specified via hostname

Hi,
Thanks for the bug report. However, you did not tell us more details
about the environment you have set, e.g. is it a DRBL SSI mode?
Which version of drbl are you using?
I think it's better to follow
http://drbl.sourceforge.net/one4all/#bug-report
to provide more detail info so that we can improve it.
Thanks.

Steven.

Re: Driver not found - 82567V-2

2009-10-05T08:05:18Z

Hi Tomislav,
You mentioned "Kernel I'm using is 2.6.25-2-386 and that driver is in
kernel since 2.6.24.", are you sure the NIC is supported in 2.6.25-2-386?
Did you try to use it on your Ubuntu 8.10?
Or maybe you can try to use Ubuntu 8.10 Live/installation CD to test it
if is really supported. Once you can confirm that, we can continue the
next test.

Regards,
Steven.

Re: Breaking out NFS for DRBL

2009-10-02T17:00:17Z

I tried adding the line to the client-append-fstab, and noticed something interesting.

When I specify an IP, it gets overwritten during boot.
When I specify a name, it is left alone.

Also, DRBL still attempt to mount the original /opt on the DRBL server even though there's the new /opt there. Commenting it out in the fstab has no effect, even though it remains commented out after boot.

Is there a way to explicitly tell DRBL to use my /opt source instead of the standard one?

Basically you can follow the way similar to clonezilla live to create
such a live CD:
http://clonezilla.org/clonezilla-live/#make

Then boot the machine you want to use as the server via DRBL live.
Double click the icon "Start DRBL", configure the network, then follow
the dialogs. That's all.

Driver not found - 82567V-2

2009-09-30T03:24:26Z

Hi list!

I'm having problem booting my HP Compaq dx7500 Mucrotower computer
which has Intel 82567V-2 network card using PXE. Computer gets IP
address and loads the file from TFTP server, but when it should start
to make the image I get the message:
The driver of network card is NOT found!
Kernel I'm using is 2.6.25-2-386 and that driver is in kernel since 2.6.24.

How can I install this driver?

Best regards,

Push push push ;)
I'd like support for mdadm too, but I have one more question:
Is it possible to get support for changing the windows id, workgroup and name directly from drbl/clonezilla?
I don't have the programming skills myself, but I bet I'm not the only one willing to pay somebody to make this happen.
Any suggestions?

Thanx

Re: Breaking out NFS for DRBL

2009-09-23T19:56:21Z

OK, I tried editing the fstab you mentioned. For a test, I commented out the regular /opt in favor of our custom NFS server's /opt

Clip for /tftpboot/nodes/192.168.0.10/etc/fstab
#192.168.0.2:/opt /opt nfs ro,rsize=65536,wsize=65536,tcp,,defaults 0 0
172.16.0.20:/export/opt /opt nfs ro,rsize=65536,wsize=65536,tcp,,defaults 0 0

However, when the client is booted, the fstab gets rewritten during the boot process.

The client's /etc/fstab:
172.16.0.20:/export/opt /opt nfs ro,rsize=65536,wsize=65536,tcp,,defaults 0 0
becomes
192.168.0.2:/export/opt /opt nfs ro,rsize=65536,wsize=65536,tcp,,defaults 0 0

During boot, an access denied error comes up when trying to mount /opt (fstab now points to a directory that doesn't exist).

What would be causing this to happen?

Subject: Re: [Drbl-user] Breaking out NFS for DRBL

Hi Michael,
You can edit client's /etc/fstab to mount the NFS server as /home manually.
The files you have to modify are in DRBL server's
/tftpboot/nodes/$IP/etc/fstab.
BTW, with this and drblpush:
http://drbl.sourceforge.net/one4all/

* Before executing step <3a>, you can do some customized config:
1. ...
2. If all the clients have their local harddisk, and the
partition is formated (For example, /dev/hda1, its
filesystem is ext3), then if you want the client to mount
/dev/hda1 as /localwork when booting. Therefore you can edit
/opt/drbl/conf/client-append-fstab, and its syntax is just
like /etc/fstab. In this example, you can make
/opt/drbl/conf/client-append-fstab like this:
/dev/hda1 /localwork ext3 defaults 0 0
(PS: You do not have to create the directory
/tftpboot/node_root/localwork in DRBL server manually, later
drblpush will do that for you)

You can try this, too.

Steven.
