Phil

I have attached the dbreport bug  as list.gz ( compressed )

Below is the other information - you requested

 

I guess I would like to make sure that we are on the same page,

The installation works, and it comes up as a NAS device, BUT....

 

Would I am trying to do, is to have it do a manual partition - so I can 

Make all of the SCSI disk a single raid 5 volume. The problem is that it


never lets me do the manual partitioning. I have done this on the
compute 

nodes without any problems.

 

Thanks for your help and patience  

Dan

 

this is the info you wanted

 

[root@wtmca ~]# insert-ethers --dump | grep nas

/opt/rocks/sbin/insert-ethers --hostname="nas-0-0" --rack=0 --rank=0

[root@wtmca ~]# rocks-partition --list --nodename nas-0-0

Dan,

I wanted to make certain that I wasn't blowin' smoke -- so I'm
reinstalling  a NAS server on one of our clusters.

 

 

On a Rocks 4.2.1 frontend

[root@rocks-76 ~]# rocks-partition --list --nodename rockstar-nas-0-1
Nodename rockstar-nas-0-1 has the following partitions in the datbase:
        device (sda1) : mountpoint (/export/data1)
        device (sda2) : mountpoint (/export/data2) 
        device (sda3) : mountpoint ()
        device (sda4) : mountpoint ()
        device (sdb1) : mountpoint (/export/data3)
        device (sdb2) : mountpoint (/export/data4)
        device (sdb3) : mountpoint () 
        device (sdb4) : mountpoint ()
        device (sdc1) : mountpoint (/boot)
        device (sdc2) : mountpoint (/)
        device (sdc3) : mountpoint (swap)
        device (sdc4) : mountpoint (/state/partition1) 
        device (sdd1) : mountpoint (/state/partition2)
        device (sdd2) : mountpoint ()
        device (sdd3) : mountpoint ()
        device (sdd4) : mountpoint ()
 

[root@rocks-76 ~]# insert-ethers --dump | grep rockstar-nas-0-1
/opt/rocks/sbin/insert-ethers --hostname="rockstar-nas-0-1" --rack=0
--rank=1 --cpus=1 --appliance="NAS Appliance" --mac="00:04:23:af:b7:de"
--device="eth0" --module="e1000" --ipaddr=" 10.255.255.188" --netmask="
255.0.0.0" --norestart --batch

 

 

Then I kickstarted the node, and the partitioning came up as expected
(accessed with rocks-console from the frontend) -- so there is something

in what you have set up. 

 

Can you send the output of

#dbreport bug

 

and

# ls -lR /home/install/site-profiles/4.2.1

 

Thanks,

Phil

I have deleted the NAS device via the insert-ethers, and all of the
associated files i.e. .rocks-release  on all of the disks and entries in
the database. The nas-appliance.xml does have the <part> manual </part>
in the file.....

However it never gets to the stage of manual partitioning - it always
auto partitions  - I have a monitor and keyboard plugged into the NAS
directly into the device. 

 

After it finished - it shows up as a NAS device n the hosts file - 

 

I believe that there is a problem in the distribution - 

 

What else would you suggest ??

Thanks

Dan

Version of Rocks?

In 4.2.1 if you pick the appliance type as "NAS Appliance" when you
integrate the your NAS it will require you to

manual partitioning on every installation. When that node is building
(say it is called nas-0-0)

# rocks-console nas-0-0 

(you need to be running X or do this inside of Xvnc on your frontend)

 

the nas-appliance.xml

has the <part> manual </part>

statement needed to force manual partitioning.

 

 

-P

Hello Rocks Group,

On the 64 bit versions - during the install I would like to have a few
NAS devices, but force them to do manual partitioning. 

I followed the instructions in the documentation for the node
installation, i.e. manual partitioning, which works just fine,

but when it gets to the NAS devices - it auto partitions...

Could you point me in the right direction to solve this problem. 

Thanks
