Hello, I'm working on the oscar-1.3 release with my Linux Itanium's cluster to test cloning process via systemimager. After having succeeded to boot my client node via the network, when running the following script : /var/lib/systemimager/scripts/ced1.sh rsync is able to get small files (e.g : mkdosfs). However, when the script tries to rsync the whole oscar image in the following way : rsync -av --numeric-ids...

Hi, I''ve written a small tutorial on how to deploy images for puppet using systemimager.

...ltime.org and then modifying it myself. At this point I need to create my own image, and actually I would need to create an image that is bootable both with QEMU and with Xen, but I''m not getting very far yet. Has anyone succeeded doing this? I want to do this because I would like to run SystemImager in my virtual machines, but this is not possible with Xen. So, for normal operation I would like to run Xen, and when I wan to run SystemImager for replication then I would start the domains with QEMU. (I want to run SystemImager for demonstration purposes, so replicating my domain images in Domain...

Dear All, I have installed Red Hat Enterprise 3 on one Intel-32 bit machine. I have installed all systemimager/systeminstaller/flamethrower RPMS that machine. I would like to install OS through PXE boot on another Athlon machine. When I execute mkssimage for creating a image master # mksiimage --Add --name image1 --path /var/lib/systemimager/images/image1 --filename /root/rpmlist --location /tftpboot/rpm...

...lesystems are on a single hard drive. This drive is starting to give some errors, so I got a new (larger) drive to replace it with. What is the easiest way to copy my filesystems over to the new drive? I considered using dd, but I lose the extra capacity of the new drive that way. I tried using SystemImager, but it is giving me some errors. I think the easiest way may be to boot from the LiveCD, recreate the partitions, copy the info with rsync and then fix the boot partition and grub. Any tips or pointers to a good how-to? -- Bowie

Hi, I need to port OSCAR Cluster and SystemImager softwares to centos8, but I miss a lot of package that seems to be built for centos-8. For example, I cant find docbook-utils and docbook-utls-pdf while I see them here: https://koji.mbox.centos.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=651 I?ve installed epel-release and elrepo-release and centos-release-stream...

Hi, First, I want to precise that I'm new to linux, so please answear with simple words ;) My problem is that I have to install and configure linux (RH9) on 36 identical computers. This would take ages. What I want to do, is to configure one, and then clone the install. But thos computers have no CD, no floppy, and I didn't manage to boot them brom an usb stick. The last option is to

...more than one cluster, so each head node has a copy of the "master image" (for the compute nodes in its cluster). I want to make sure that all the master images are identical [otherwise our software won't work...]. I am using a command like... rsync -av --delete compute cpc2:/opt1/systemimager/images/compute Based on the documentation, I expect the all the files and directories to be identical between the local copy and the remote one. What I find is that permissions are not set if the file is not copied. For example, on one system... ls -ld /opt1/systemimager/images/compute/root dr...

Hello, I've been having all kinds of problems with rsync. I've tried versions 2.5.4-6. They all seem to have the same problems. Currently, I'm trying to use SystemImager, which uses rsync to transfer files. I get this: get_boel_binaries_tarball rsync -av 10.1.2.14::boot/i386/SMC/boel_binaries.tar.gz /tmp/ receiving file list ...

Howdy. We've got a couple IBM x440 (Summit) 8-way Xeon systems that I've been trying to get netbooting for a while. Since we use Kickstart and SystemImager to load OSes on our systems, a system has to be able to netboot before it can be made available to folks for project use. System BIOS is the current one, v1.08. They're booting from a planar BroadCom Tigon3 adapter. BIOS message sez: UNDI PXE-2.1 (build 082) v3.1.15 Several other system...

I am trying to set a uniform PXE environment to load multiple distros. RHEL 5.1 and 4.7 SUSE 10.2 and 11 Solaris 10 X86 Window Multiple server versions.... - Why? Because I am in hell. What I want is to have an upper level pxelinux.0 call the default menu directories that come with the releases. Is there a way to call pxelinux.0 and point it at a different pxelinux.cfg directory?

(I posted this on xen-users last week, and nobody seemed to know what was up. It is time, I suppose then, to dust off the debugger; I was hoping one of you could point me in the correct direction to begin troubleshooting this.) I''m HVM booting our install-disks (systemimager) here, and I''m spotting some weird performance issues. Our install uses rsync and prints every file as it copies it. I notice that files scroll quickly for a while, then slowly. the slowness continues until I press a button (within xm console) at which point the slowness immediate...

Hi guys: I'm about to migrate a sever to a managed server facility. I've alwau=ys used tape to backup my server, now that's not an option. I've read abut using rsync to do backups and have several scripts to do same. I believe rsync is a good solution. I am missing some important nuiances though... I would like to have essentially a "mirror" server at my facility (

Hi, I?m running a special initrd generated for SystemImager with a special dracut module that relies on plyouth scripted theme. It works perfectly on CentOS-6, CentOS-7, OpenSUSE-42.3, Fedora-29 (not tested later) and used to work on CentOS-8.0 Since CentOS-8.1 was released, IT chrashes with the following error: Plymouthd crash 913: ply_event_loop_watch_fo...

Is anyone using FAI <http://www.informatik.uni-koeln.de/fai/> to install DomU''s? Our infrastructure is based heavily on using FAI for reproducing server configs so consolidating servers would go much nicer if if we could build the DomU''s with FAI. I''ve not put too much effort into solving my problems yet as I hope someone else ahs solved them for me :) The DomU

...was getting bad disk I/O, I tracked down a kernel patch that enabled DMA for this chipset and raised my disk I/O from 6.6Mb/sec. to 45Mb/sec. I built this kernel for both server and client on these affected machines. The results did not change the rsync errors. The application I am using is 'SystemImager'. It's a nifty package to build systems from a golden-image system. Thus, the client system I am attempting to build is a virgin system, nothing else is running on it, there is not a problem with disk space (nor I/O). Network-wise, I have these systems separated by a local switch, thus t...

...he server and above all (ii) the process fetching the filesystem image doesn't need any privileges on the fileserver (even if some of the files are 0700 for root etc.), suid-root binaries on the fileserver won't be lying around where they shouldn't etc. etc. - obviously, things like systemimager and cfengine could use this feature. Mode of use: something like rsync --tar /filesystem/image/file.tar target/file/system this would not copy file.tar but would act like file.tar was unpacked in the source directory. As places to modify, I identified the send_file_list function (and, going f...

Thanks, rsync developers, for creating such a great tool. I'm a member of a team of system administrators and integrators that use rsync with SystemImager and Cfengine to rapidly deploy and prescriptively maintain systems. Our current practices would benefit if rsync were enhanced to handle duplicate names deterministically as described in the todo list. If we were able to use rsync to overlay a base system image directory with customization direct...
