[12:42] Hellom how are you doing? Sorry to bother. I have a question regarding iSCSI during installer [12:42] Is it supported, right? [12:42] How can we set the initiator name of the installer? Is there some automatic configuration? [12:43] My target refuses to "be recognized" since it's initiator name is not configured on target [15:20] gpiccoli: I suppose the initiator name might be the hostname? [15:21] 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 [15:27] ok, looks like when you boot you need to set, on the command-line: partman-iscsi/login/address [15:27] and [15:29] and it should be asking you for a username, which would be the initiator username... [15:29] xnox: can you help me out? ^ I thought you played with iscsi before? [15:45] Thanks very much cyphermox! [15:45] sorry I can't be more helpful, but I never touched iSCSI at all [15:45] I could access iSCSI my manually mounting it on shell, "faking" the initiator name as one already set on target [15:46] ok, good [15:48] 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] 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] Hope you or xnox can help me figure what is expected! [20:22] 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? [21:18] 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] ok, so can't dd on any other prep, gotcha [21:20] I was asking because we do create a prep partition while partitioning [21:21] indeed [21:35] thanks
