[opensuse-autoinstall] ipv6 autoyast, wrong netmask in ifcfg-eth0
by Vladimir Ondrus 16 Jul '13

16 Jul '13

Hi, We are using SLES11 SP2. We are trying to setup ipv6 and ipv4 address on the same interface (eth0) using autoyast installation: using yast2 autoyast gui I've generated this autoyast.xml piece: <interface> <aliases> <alias0> <IPADDR>219.1.90.52</IPADDR> <NETMASK>255.255.255.128</NETMASK> </alias0> </aliases> <bootproto>static</bootproto> <device>eth0</device> <ipaddr>2a00:8a00:6000:40::451</ipaddr> <prefixlen>119</prefixlen> <startmode>auto</startmode> <usercontrol>no</usercontrol> </interface> but after autoyast installation the config file (the field IPADDR) looks crippled : #/>cat /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eth0 BOOTPROTO='static' IPADDR='2a00:8a00:6000:40::451/7' <--- why is added '/7' PREFIXLEN='119' STARTMODE='auto' USERCONTROL='no' IPADDR_='219.1.90.52/25' #/>ifconfig eth0 eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:50:56:3F:AA:BC inet addr:219.1.90.52 Bcast:219.1.90.127 Mask:255.255.255.128 inet6 addr: 2a00:8a00:6000:40::451/7 Scope:Global inet6 addr: fe80::250:56ff:fe3f:aabc/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:189 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:108 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:18440 (18.0 Kb) TX bytes:21087 (20.5 Kb) if we cut the '/7' prefix for IPADDR line, then everything works fine : ifconfig eth0 eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:50:56:3F:AA:BC inet addr:219.1.90.52 Bcast:219.1.90.127 Mask:255.255.255.128 inet6 addr: 2a00:8a00:6000:40::451/119 Scope:Global Could you please advice us why ipv6 netmask autoconfiguration is not working?

[opensuse-autoinstall] Retaining software RAID devices during automated installation with autoyast
by Anton Altaparmakov 25 Jun '13

25 Jun '13

Hi Uwe, Doing automated installation of server with / on ext3 on software RAID 1 mirror of /dev/sda2 and /dev/sdb2 and /home on xfs on software RAID 10 of /dev/sda3, /dev/sdb3, /dev/sdc3, /dev/sdd3. I want to preserve /home when doing an automated reinstall of the machine. I can keep the existing partitions fine and they get assigned to MD devices correctly. However whilst the partitions are being kept fine, I see the messages "deleting MD device" (or some such wording), followed by "creating MD device" (or similar wording) and indeed it then fails to mount /home as the xfs file system is not there any more. )-: If I set <create config:type="boolean">false</create> for the partitions on the /dev/md device in the autoyast file then the md devices are still destroyed but then not created again so the install fails immediately as there is nowhere to install. )-: Is this a bug or a feature? Is there any way I can get autoyast to preserve the existing md devices? If you want to see my autoyast partitioning section, this is it: <partitioning config:type="list"> <drive> <device>/dev/sda</device> <initialize>false</initialize> <disklabel>gpt</disklabel>

[opensuse-autoinstall] Old OS on new hardware
by Dr.Peer-Joachim Koch 19 Jun '13

19 Jun '13

Hi, I just run into the following problem. We have to use still SLES11SP1 and tried to install it on new hardware. Problem: Either the network card and/or the raidcontroller was not detected. There are updated drivers. I but it into the initrd file and can do the installation. But I have to copy the files at the end (just before the system reboots) onto the disk. What is the best solution for this kind of problem ? How to integrate new drivers into the system ? In this case (tg3, megaraid_sas) ... -- Bye, Peer _________________________________________________________ Max-Planck-Institut fuer Biogeochemie Dr. Peer-Joachim Koch Hans-Knöll Str.10 Telefon: ++49 3641 57-6705 D-07745 Jena Telefax: ++49 3641 57-7705

[opensuse-autoinstall] PXE over ipv6
by Vladimir Ondrus 19 Jun '13

19 Jun '13

Hi, We are doing automatic installation of our nodes from install server via PXE netboot in ip v4 environment. Our customer wants to switch to ipv6 setup. Is there any hardware BIOS which can initiate PXE over ipv6? Is there any dhcp server with PXE ipv6 support? Does pxelinux supports ipv6?

[opensuse-autoinstall] EXTRA_PROV
by ragnar.skaret＠mcp.com 12 Jun '13

12 Jun '13

Hi List, I have used Autoyast for 7 years or so. First SuSE 9.0 and then openSuSE 11.1 Now I'm trying to set up Autoyast with openSuSE 12.3 . I have downloaded all of openSuSE 12.3 repo and updates/12.3. Since we install several machines over several years I need to have a fixed install source so all machines have exactly the same sw. When I try to make updatesource with create_update_source.sh it is looking for EXTRA_PROV but that is not included anywhere in repo or updates directory. Can the EXTRA_PROV file be created in any way? I do a create_package_descr in the updtes directory but then I have to give PATH_TO_EXTRA_PROV and that path I don't have since there is no EXTRA_PROV in the updates directory either. I have probably misunderstood something here .. Any help is much appreciated.
