| gpiccoli | Hellom how are you doing? Sorry to bother. I have a question regarding iSCSI during installer | 12:42 |
|---|---|---|
| gpiccoli | Is it supported, right? | 12:42 |
| gpiccoli | How can we set the initiator name of the installer? Is there some automatic configuration? | 12:42 |
| gpiccoli | My target refuses to "be recognized" since it's initiator name is not configured on target | 12:43 |
| cyphermox | gpiccoli: I suppose the initiator name might be the hostname? | 15:20 |
| cyphermox | iscsi should be supported, but you might need to enable it first, and unfortunately I'm not familiar enough with iscsi to know all the details | 15:21 |
| cyphermox | ok, looks like when you boot you need to set, on the command-line: partman-iscsi/login/address | 15:27 |
| cyphermox | and | 15:27 |
| cyphermox | and it should be asking you for a username, which would be the initiator username... | 15:29 |
| cyphermox | xnox: can you help me out? ^ I thought you played with iscsi before? | 15:29 |
| gpiccoli | Thanks very much cyphermox! | 15:45 |
| cyphermox | sorry I can't be more helpful, but I never touched iSCSI at all | 15:45 |
| gpiccoli | I could access iSCSI my manually mounting it on shell, "faking" the initiator name as one already set on target | 15:45 |
| cyphermox | ok, good | 15:46 |
| gpiccoli | after this, next test was to stop installation at beginning and override the isci-start procedure to force my initiator name to match the one already on target - worked too | 15:48 |
| gpiccoli | I think I need more to know if it's expected my target accept any initiator name since Ubuntu installer will generate a random one each install | 15:48 |
| gpiccoli | Hope you or xnox can help me figure what is expected! | 15:48 |
| cyphermox | cjwatson: do you recall if there's a reason why prep is being dd'ed to only in grub-installer, and not in a commit.d script in partman-prep? | 20:22 |
| cjwatson | cyphermox: because it's grub-installer that has the information on the intended disk to boot from; we need that context to work out the right PReP partition in multiple-disk cases | 21:18 |
| cyphermox | ok, so can't dd on any other prep, gotcha | 21:18 |
| cyphermox | I was asking because we do create a prep partition while partitioning | 21:20 |
| cjwatson | indeed | 21:21 |
| cyphermox | thanks | 21:35 |
