Bug in unattend.xml / Win7-64

[topse]

Hi,
I have set up server and client in VBox - for getting started and developing packages.

Automatic Installation of Win7-64 stops with an error, something with "error in unattend.xml in paragraph specialized". I found the following line to be the problem:

Code: Alles auswählen

<settings pass="specialize">
   (...)
   <ComputerName>#@pcname*#</ComputerName>

When I substitute "#@pcname*#" with a "real" Computername - then it works fine. Does anyone have an idea, what the problem is? Automatic substitution of the variable fails??

Thanks and Best Regards,
Tobias

Hi,

in any way you did not give the name of the client to opsi.

I assume that you missed the form 'Configuration incomplete'

see here:

If I'm right, it isn't a bug.

If I am not right, you should give the log of the boot image.

Sorry - I don't know, if I did not get you correct.

I am using the graphical opsi config editor. When I "create a new opsi client" then I am asked for a name. And for the given client, there is a valid name. I was assuming that this name I give here together with the MAC-Address would be the identification and name-giving for the client from opsi's point of view?

Do you mean something else?

Thanks and Best Regards,
Tobias

Hi,

it depends on how you are starting the bootimage.
If you are setting the netboot product to setup, the pcname will be passed to the bootimage.

If you are using the opsi-client bootcd or the pxe-menu there is no way for the bootmiage to fetch these information.

I am using the netboot for Win7-64 Prof. Installation.

Hi,

please set the action request setup for your netboot product. Then go at the server to
/tftpboot/linux/pxelinux.cfg
there should be a file named 01-<mac of the client>

give the command
cat 01-<mac of the client>

and post the oputput

OK - I will bring the logfile, but I fear I will not be able to do so before weekend! (Sorry :-/)

This is what I got:

Code: Alles auswählen

default opsi-install

label opsi-install
  kernel install
  append dn=fritz.box product=win7-x64 pckey=8f45d27a5c00dbb931bf0124c1c8440f service=https://192.168.178.26:4447/rpc vga=791 quiet initrd=miniroot.bz2 splash video=vesa:ywrap,mtrr hn=vbox-opsi-client

Does this mean anything helpful regarding my problem?

Hi,

looks ok.
So the bootimage get the hostname vbox-opsi-client and the domainname fritz.box.

Now you should look at the logfile of the bootimage
/var/log/opsi/bootimage
search there for a entry
pcname=

Is there any and how is the complete line ?

Looks good:

Code: Alles auswählen

opsiserver:/var/log/opsi/bootimage$ cat vbox-opsi-client.fritz.box.log | grep pcname
[7] [Apr 24 22:15:41] >>> pcname=vbox-opsi-client (Posix.py|741)
[7] [Apr 24 22:15:41] >>> pcname=vbox-opsi-client (Posix.py|741)

But still does not work...
