Testing

Hardware	Result	Details
DL380G2	Failed	Network interface does not identify during SLES cdrom boot
DL380G3	Successful	This was the primary testing platform
DL380G5	Successful	Only the x86_64 version works, the i386 boot cdrom post NIC configuration

Known Issues

Item	Date	Who	Details	Workaround/Solution
Install date	2006Nov21	Travis Sidelinger	The date is not set during the autoyast pre-script phase	Will be fixed when I move autoinst.xml into a cgi script. From the script I will set time with the date command. Target objective for sles9.06.2
ILO auto config	2006Nov16	Travis Sidelinger	ILO automatic configuration does not work do to xml changes	Target objective for next build. Need to figure out what HP has changed.
Security settings	2006Nov21	Travis Sidelinger	A complete review of system security needs performed	Targeted for sles9.06.2 or later build
Serial number	2006Nov27	Travis Sidelinger	The serial should be automatically pulled from the bios and set in /etc/asset, but the scripting current doesn't work. This is probably a timing issue and needs performed after the PSP is installed and the machine is rebooted.	Target objective for next build

Issue Log

2006Oct02

Tried adding OES linux into install server ⇒ fails, turns out OES linux is actually two CD sets. The add fails at disk 5, disk 4 is the start of the second set of disks, the install seems to not know what to do next.
SLES9 RC5 i386 - does not contain the Broadcom ExtremeII driver (bnx2.ko) on the boot cd (disk1)

2006Oct10

DL380G2 ⇒ SLES9, after finding the book on autoyast, my autoinst.xml looks great, testing shows that the drive layout will not apply. Error messages say the drives can not be edited

2006Oct11

Testing with SLES10 now
Someing is wrong with the networking

2006Oct12

DHCP is not working on the 192.168.76.x segment
Moved the server to the team area lab
Wrong DHCP info ⇒ moved network port ⇒ seems to work now
Cannot find correct path on install server for SLES10 ⇒ I'm an idiot, was referring to SLES9 path
During SLES10 install ⇒ integrity check failure, GPG keys do not match
Checked CD iso md5 sums ⇒ good, re-installed iso media
During SLES10 install ⇒ integrity check failure, GPG keys do not match ⇒ continue anyways, seems to work
Loaded server by hand, created new autoinst.xml file from install choices
Tried to build server with the new autoinst.xml file ⇒ cannot find package names, cannot find package groups

2006Oct16

Tried installing SLES9 with SP3 disk1 (i386) ⇒ error insert CD3, SUSE Linux AG 20040702193512 != 20040702201519. I figured out how to update the repos with SP3 cd's ⇒ same result

2006Oct17

Tried installing SLES9 with sles9 disk1 (i386) ⇒ the license page locks up. Note, in reviewing the apache logs, the install is looking for media.3 under CD2. On the file system media.3 is under CD3 and media.2 is under CD2. Thus, I think it's confused.
I rebuilt the SLES9 i386 install server install ⇒ it all works now.

2006Nov13

Edirectory ldif imports are not working

2006Nov16

The ILO XML has changed since I last had this working, something is cause my xml to fail.

2006Oct20

I found that if the BIOS date is too far off, the GPG check for RPMs will fail during install.

2006Nov21

ntpdate does not exist in autyast pre-script phase
wget command is not working under autoyast post-script phase

2006Nov29

Tested the final build on DL380G5. The install hanged. It was able to dhcp and IP address. I re-tried using x86_64 instead of the i386 install. This time is hung while trying to load data into ram from the install server. This could be a NIC driver issue as it occurs immediately after the NIC was brought up.

2006Nov29

Testing the post_setup script failed on a DL380G5 machines. During install of the PSP it failed. Not sure yet why this happened.
I had a DL380G5 install lock up right before Yast starts. The last message was “Unpacking Data”.
Experiencing DHCP issues on the lab subnet (192.168.222.x), this seems to happen often.
After complbuilding a DL380G5 box, eth0 would not pass traffic. Works after another reboot.
