I¹m installing the Crowbar 1.6.1 Roxy build (build 4709). Steps to install:
* attach ISO to iDRAC virtual DVD interface, set boot to Virtual DVD, reboot * log in to console, change eth0 to a reachable address on my network * copy over bc-template-network.json and bc-template-ipmi.json * install JSON files * run ³install admin.CLUSTERNAME.DOMAIN² (replacing CLUSTERNAME/DOMAIN as appropriate) * reboot The problem . . . I boot a cluster node, PXE set to first interface. I¹m certain my PXE packets are reaching the admin node, as I sniff the packets with tcpdump on the admin node, and see: 11:35:14.438503 IP 0.0.0.0.bootpc > 255.255.255.255.bootps: BOOTP/DHCP, Request from b8:ca:3a:5e:db:ec (oui Unknown), length 548 11:35:18.448077 IP 0.0.0.0.bootpc > 255.255.255.255.bootps: BOOTP/DHCP, Request from b8:ca:3a:5e:db:ec (oui Unknown), length 548 11:35:26.467186 IP 0.0.0.0.bootpc > 255.255.255.255.bootps: BOOTP/DHCP, Request from b8:ca:3a:5e:db:ec (oui Unknown), length 548 However, PXE boot fails, and indeed, if I check the process table, I don¹t see any dhcpd server, nor do I see any dhcpd or dhcp3 related files/directories on the admin node, nor the isc-dhcp-server package installed. And, related - I don¹t see anything listening on port 67 (e.g. DHCPD itself, or some sort of ³super server² listening to call a DHCPD process). If I understand correctly, the barclamp called ³provisioner² is responsible for the actual DHCPD process management and the orchestration of the sledgehammer image and OS install. Looking at /var/log/chef/provisioner.log, I see a series of errors: WARNING: No knife configuration file found INFO: HTTP Request Returned 409 Conflict: Data bag already exists Data bag crowbar already exists WARNING: No knife configuration file found INFO: HTTP Request Returned 404 Not Found: Cannot load Databag Item bc-template-provisioner Updated data_bag_item[crowbar::bc-template-provisioner] WARNING: No knife configuration file found INFO: HTTP Request Returned 404 Not Found: Cannot load role provisioner-bootdisk-finder Updated Role provisioner-bootdisk-finder!

WARNING: No knife configuration file found INFO: HTTP Request Returned 404 Not Found: Cannot load role provisioner-server Updated Role provisioner-server! I¹m not certain why. During the initial bootstrap of the admin node, I did notice some Ruby patches fail to apply correctly, but unsure if that¹s the source of the problem. Any pointers on where to poke around and sort this out is greatly appreciated. I¹ve been chugging through various /var/log/Š files - but not knowing exactly what I¹m looking for, or which file, makes the process rather slow. I believe something during install didn¹t get done correctly - which is the source of the problem. ~~shane Sr. Principal Infrastructure Architect Symantec Cloud Platform Engineering ______________________________________ Mobile: (503) 704-1703 Email: shane_gib...@symantec.com ______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Crowbar mailing list Crowbar@dell.com https://lists.us.dell.com/mailman/listinfo/crowbar For more information: http://crowbar.github.com/
