More robust network booting Posted by Michael Prokop

Comments (0) Trackbacks (0) More robust network bootingSummary: Grml gets more robust support for network booting. Background information: A customer uses Grml for the deployment process of their systems. Grml isn't just used for the deployment but also as part of the netboot environment in the High-Availability (HA) setup running on IBM BladeCenter systems. The netboot setup is used for hardware inventory and to be able to replace bladesystems without the need for any manual configuration (implementing features of IBM BladeCenter Open Fabric Manager using Debian/Linux). As being part of a HA setup the netboot setup should work no matter which server is unavailable or which network connection is broken. The software stack is redundant thanks to DRBD, Heartbeat& CO while the hardware stack itself is redundant due to the bladeserver infrastructure. Problem description: If you have more than one network card (NIC) inside your system you might encounter problems with network booting as soon as the first/preferred NIC doesn't work. This is a common problem in netboot environments, usually solved by crude hacks and workarounds. Solution: The last Grml release (2009.10) already invented the ethdevice= bootoption which allows you to specify a specific NIC for booting. I just extended ethdevice and its surrounding code so it is possible to specify multiple devices at once that should be configured. If you don't have any specific configuration all present NICs will be used for configuration via DHCP automatically. The resulting code is quite tricky because ipconfig of klibc-utils might fail in several situations. I just uploaded live-initramfs (1.157.4-1grml.01) to the grml-testing repository, the daily ISOs will provide the feature within the next few days as well. Available bootoptions and behaviour:
Screenshot of netboot in action: Sunday, November 8. 2009Grml goes microbloggingNow, the Grml project has accounts on both Twitter (@grmlproject) and identi.ca (@grml). They will be used to publish Grml related announcements, news and links. Tips related to Zsh, console programs and Grml itself will be part of the regular posts as well. The program used to post grml tips is available in ourgit repository. If you have any suggestions for this service or any additional tips and/or packages we should mention feel free to drop us a mail to twitter (at) grml.org or create a bugreport in our bugtracking system. Now make sure to follow the Grml project ontwitter and/oridenti.ca! BTW: Grml developers can use these accounts to send announcements & messages as well.

Comments (0) Trackbacks (0) grml shipped with c't extra 03/2009 NetzwerkeThe famous german c't magazine just released c't extra 03/2009 Netzwerke, a special edition focusing on network stuff. There's an article about network diagnosis using Grml (pages 132-133) and Grml is part of the included the DVD as well. Make sure you grab your own copy! Monday, September 7. 2009kernel 2.6.31-grml[64]After busy development days the kernel 2.6.31-grml and 2.6.31-grml64 entered the grml-testing pool today. This kernel version is based on upstream's 2.6.31-rc9 and features the squashfs file format version 4 with lzma support. Please note that you need squashfs-lzma-tools 4.0-1 for remastering with grml-live if you plan to use LZMA compression. grml-live has been adjusted to be as backwards friendly as possible. Check out 'current state of grml-live with squashfs-tools and kernel' for further details if you plan to build your own ISOs. An updated live-initramfs 1.157.3-1grml.00 package is available as well. Starting with tomorrow (2009-09-08) the daily builds of grml should feature kernel 2.6.31-grml[64] already. This means we are coming closer to a new stable release... |
