Open urielrosen opened 4 years ago

urielrosen commented 4 years ago

Hi,

I am trying to implement an ubuntu installation in our organization xcat deployment server , we already have a working configuration to install centos 7 . after successfully booting from pxe to start the install and right away I get this error messsage: configure the network : installation step failed(screenshot attached) , what do I need to configure in xcat order to advance passed this stage ? I issued the following commands : wget http://xcat.org/files/netboot/ubuntu16.04.1/ppc64el/mini.iso mkdir /tmp/iso mount -o loop mini.iso /tmp/iso mkdir -p /install/ubuntu16.04.6/ppc64el/install/netboot cp /tmp/iso/install/initrd.gz /install/ubuntu16.04.6/ppc64el/install/netboot nodeset cn124 osimage=ubuntu16.04.6-x86_64-install-compute rinstall cn124

Thanks for your help.

@urielrosen I do not think mini.iso is needed for Ubuntu 16.04.02 or later. See https://github.com/xcat2/xcat-core/issues/5702#issuecomment-431244473

Also, can you lsdef your node and osimage definitions ?

@urielrosen It appears your node definition still has references to CentOS in kcmdline, kernel and postscripts attributes.

Also, can you show contents of /tftpboot/xcat/xnba/nodes/cn124 file ?

urielrosen commented 4 years ago

Hi,

Below is the output of /tftpboot/xcat/xnba/nodes/cn124

Is there a step by step guide to adding Ubuntu server image install ?

The mini.iso you had is for ppc64el, not x86_64. xCAT will not pick up the files from /install/ubuntu16.04.6/ppc64el/install/netboot for arch is not ppc64el

can u remove all the attribute has references to centos, then try ubuntu16.04.6 again? please show contents of osimage, node definition and /tftpboot/xcat/xnba/nodes/cn124

urielrosen commented 4 years ago

Hi,

Thanks for your reply , I attached the output of the items you asked . As of now I get the same error after deleting centos attributes . If you have an install guide for adding Ubuntu image this would be great to have .

sorry for the late response..
for the osimage:

sdef -t osimage ubuntu16.04.6-x86_64-install-compute
Object name: ubuntu16.04.6-x86_64-install-compute
    imagetype=linux
    osarch=x86_64
    osname=Linux
    osvers=ubuntu16.04.6
    otherpkgdir=/install/post/otherpkgs/ubuntu16.04.6/x86_64
    pkgdir=/install/ubuntu16.04.6/x86_64
    pkglist=/opt/xcat/share/xcat/install/ubuntu/compute.pkglist
    profile=compute
    provmethod=install
    template=/opt/xcat/share/xcat/install/ubuntu/compute.tmpl

Did u create it via copycds? the pkglist is not correct. 

chdef -t osimage ubuntu16.04.6-x86_64-install-compute pkglist=/opt/xcat/share/xcat/install/ubuntu/compute.ubuntu16.04.ppc64el.pkglist

use the ^^ to change pktlist, then try again...

urielrosen commented 4 years ago

Thanks , I will try .

Another question , do you have a manual on how to add a new image for diskfull install of centos 8(already have a working centos 7 installation with postscripts) , can I replicate this centos 7 to centos 8 installation , I will be happy for full instructions on how to achieve this.

Thanks, Uriel.
