[opensuse-autoinstall] Working iSCSI example?
by Floris Bos / Maxnet 18 Nov '13

Hi, Does anyone having a working autoyast example that uses iSCSI as storage? Tried: == <partitioning config:type="list"> <drive> <use>all</use> </drive> </partitioning> [...] <iscsi-client> <initiatorname>iqn.2013-13.eu.maxnet:inittest</initiatorname> <targets config:type="list"> <listentry> <authmethod>None</authmethod> <portal>192.168.178.12:3260</portal> <startup>onboot</startup> <target>iqn.2008-08.com.starwindsoftware:jaguar-test</target> </listentry> </targets> <version>1.0</version> </iscsi-client> == But it does not seems to work and shows "device '' not found by storage backend" in Yast. Also tried not specifying an iSCSI section and passing the information through the iBFT in the hope that the installer picks it up automatically (which does work for other OS like CentOS and Windows Server), with the same result.

[opensuse-autoinstall] AutoYaST - Automated installation from openSUSE 12.3 DVD does not work
by Sebastian Siebert 18 Nov '13

18 Nov '13

Hi folks, I am helping someone that he want to use the automated installation with AutoYaST and the openSUSE installation DVD. The issue is that YaST could not find the DVD YaST2 repository. We went as follows: 1. Download the openSUSE 12.3 DVD ISO 2. Install the "ISO master" from Packman 3. Modify the ISO: add the AutoYaST file to /autoinst.xml 4. Modify the ISO: add boot parameter in the file /boot/x86_64/loader/isolinux.cfg: install=cd autoyast=file:///autoinst.xml The hint comes from: <http://users.suse.com/~ug/AutoYaST_FAQ.html#a6> 5. Save the new ISO content 6. Boot the ISO in VirtualBox for test. AutoYaST starts automatically. 7. While system probing we get an error message: --- START --- Unable to create repository from URL 'cd:/?devices=/dev/disk/by-id/ata-VBOX_CD-ROM-VB2-01700376'. Details: [|] Valid metadata not found at specified URL History: - [|] Repository type can't be determined. Try again? --- END --- We had tried following boot parameter: 1. install=cd autoyast=file:///autoinst.xml 2. autoyast=file:///autoinst.xml 3. autoyast=file:///autoinst.xml install=cd 4. install=cd:/ autoyast=file:///autoinst.xml 5. install=cd:/?devices=sr0 autoyast=file:///autoinst.xml 6. install=cd:/?devices=sr* autoyast=file:///autoinst.xml 7. namescheme="" autoyast=file:///autoinst.xml 8. namescheme="" install=cd autoyast=file:///autoinst.xml But none of them works. Interesting issue is if we select "Source HTTP" instead "Source DVD" in the boot menu. YaST adds the online OSS repository but it could not find the AutoYaST file anymore. It is so weird. The error message is: --- START --- An error occured while fetching the profile: Reading file on /var/adm/mount//autoinst.xml filed. Reading file on /autoinst.xml failed. Reading a file on CD failed: /tmp/YaST-02942-IMvaKW/tmp_mount//autoinst.xml. --- END --- The question is: How we can fixed it in the boot parameter for the openSUSE 12.3 DVD installation? Thanks for any advice on this problem. -- Kind regards, Sebastian - openSUSE Member (Freespacer) Website/Blog: <http://www.sebastian-siebert.de> Important notes on openSUSE Mailing List: <http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Mailing_list_netiquette> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-autoinstall] btrfs on SLES11 SP3
by Hans-Joachim Ehlers 23 Oct '13

Hi I am a little bit lost with BTRFS. The reason i would like to use BTRFS is the ability to shrink a btrfs filesystem on the fly . But if i use only one disk for btrfs , btrfs will use the whole disk and i would need to implement subvolumes WITHOUT the ability to limit the size of a given subvolume (directory ) Example: /dev/sda1 BTRFS / ( subvolume) /tmp (subvolume ) If i use partition i can shrink but i am not able to give the free space to a different partition ( Without repartitioning) So it looks like that i need still a LVM approach or is there any quota management ? Any comments and tips for BTRFS ?

[opensuse-autoinstall] SLES 11 SP3 and btrfs profile example
by Hans-Joachim Ehlers 11 Oct '13

11 Oct '13

Hi , I try to build a partition profile for btrfs The result should look like: /boot 256M (ext3) / 15G brtfs /var 2G brtfs /tmp 4G brtfs I am not sure if i should use a single partition brtfs and apply quota using subvolumes (HOW do i configure that anyway ?) or having dedicated brtfs partitions ( If possible ) Note: A current test for a profile build with autoyast gives during installation an error message:" fsck: fsck.btrfs: not found." Any hints or examples ? Tia Hajo -- Hans-Joachim Ehlers UNIX Systems Engineer MetaModul GmbH on behalf of EUMETSAT Tel : +49 6151 807-7307 http://www.eumetsat.int
