Can no longer pxe boot to any of the prods

[Space_Cowboy1985]

Its fixed.... I ran opsi-setup --cleanup-backend and that sorted out whatever the problem was. Could you explain to me what the clean-up did?

[d.oertel]

Hi,

not in detail.
--cleanup-backend tries to eliminate all not any more used (zombie) backend entries.

Fine that it is working right now.
Did you post an opsi-map entry ?

Perhaps you may post some of your scripts in the wiki:

Hi,

Thanks for all your help...

Im just sorting out my last few bugs, mostly getting my drivers etc all in, but will most likely post up my scripts when done with my initial project. So far so good though.

Right Ive worked out I think anyway whats causing the issues and the why that fix worked. For whatever reason the win7 boot product is no longer reporting back when complete, it just stays as running. This is then causing all other boot jobs to fail, I can manually change the job to success and everything starts working again.

Is there anything I can look out for in the logs as to why its not reporting back complete. Other jobs such as memtest are working fine?

Hi,

the win7 netboot product includes the installation of the opsi-client-agent which is started by the unattend.xml after the OS installation is completed. The installation of the opsi-client-agent a) gives the feedback to the server that the OS installation is finished and b) is needed for any further localboot product installation.
So it might be that the installation of the opsi-client-agent is not started (e.g. by changes at the unattend.xml) or is broken.
You should look if there is a 'opsi-lient-agent.log' at your c:\tmp directory.
If not - the installation is not started.
If it is there - it should contain messages that explain why it is failed.

The opsi client is being started by the unattended.xml and is installing fine, Im able to push products out immediately after installation. For what ever reason though it is not reporting back the success of the win 7 installation. Currently though this is not causing me to much of a problem, Im currently rolling out a lot of new machines and Ive yet to have to run that cleaner again. I will continue to dig later on when I get some more time, currently Im looking to make sure I get my opsi server backed up and documented and to start working on some information for the users. So far Im really impressed with it and will be deploying across the campus.

I do have two more questions though that I was hoping you could help with?

I cant seem to get the PXE setup to go to English, I have read about it on the forum and believe Ive changed the right files but I must be missing something.

Also are there different user levels, ideally I would like to be able to setup accounts so that people could access the java web console and assign products but not go on the server and be able to create new products or remove files from the shares etc. Is this possible?

Thanks

Hi,

PXE feedback:
have a look at the c:\tmp\opsi-client-agent.log and search for:
opsiservicecall_setNetbootInstallationStatus

I cant seem to get the PXE setup to go to English

Can you please give more details which part of the installation you mean and which OS is affected.

Also are there different user levels

A user that is only member of the group opsiadmin may only use the configed / webservice.
A more sophisticated role concept is on the roadmap but at the opsi online survey we find the role concept at place 9 of the most wanted features. So it will take some time .....

For the pxe I ment the registration part. So if Ive got a new machine and pxe boot that, I get the boot from hard drive or from opsi screen. When I click opsi it takes me to the setup image, the one show in the quick start guide, this is the part thats in German.

Thank you for the answer regarding the user permissions. Is there a place to view the roadmap? I would be interested in having a look at what you have planned, its an awesome project.

Hi,

have a look at
http://download.uib.de/opsi_stable/doc/ ... etrization

and try there

Code: Alles auswählen

lang=en

you also may append this
to the 'append' line in
/tftpboot/linux/pxelinux.cfg/install

Does this help ?

The translation of the survey (and of the resulting roadmap) is in progress .....
