Hi,
Finally I found the problem but I still don't understand it.
The problem appears to be that I install using the Supermicro IPMI with local cdrom.
Installation goes well but after that I am unable to login remotely and get the error "systemd-readahead-collect[500]: Failed to open pack file: Read-only file system". The system appears to hang.
When I hook up a screen and keyboard I can login normally and everything works fine, this is very strange and annoying as I now need to install every node in the datacenter. I also tried logging in after startup but when I check the IPMI, I only get a black screen.
Now I started using cobbler for using PXE boot with latest nightly release, but I still have to install and configure the node. How can I push the installation automatically so I can install unattended? We apparently don't have the options documented on ovirt.org anywhere, but I'll make sure we do that. In the meantime, you can refer to this document [1] for automated installation options. The options are pretty much identical.
Thanks
Mike
Mike,
Thanks for the answer, I'm deploying the latest version as we speak. This will save so much time.
But it is still strange I cannot use the IPMI, is there any info I can supply for this? Should I enter it in Bugzilla? We don't do anything special with ipmi currently. What type of system and what type of management device is being used?
Mike That's what I find so strange, installing works but configuring hangs.
I use Supermicro onboard IPMI 2.0 (http://www.supermicro.com/products/nfo/IPMI.cfm). Could it be something to do with USB redirection, I've had problems before with the Virtual CD but that has been fixed in the nightly build. Jorick
