Problems in Ubuntu image creation

Dear all,

  I have to bother you again. I tried to create an Ubuntu image, but I found some problems during the base image creation. Ubuntu uses /etc/network/interfaces to manage networks, but I see VCL is still looking for ifcfg-eth0 and ifcfg-eth1. Another problem was unable to determine the disk type, which I am not sure if it is specific to Ubuntu.

  Does VCL support Ubuntu image?

Thanks,
Lei Huang

Re: Problems in Ubuntu image creation

Posted by Alexander Patterson <al...@csueastbay.edu>.
As for your question about the disk type. I don't know if you built
your images on VMware Server 2.X then sent over the image to your
management node and manually added the information to the tables. I do
it the longest way, but i order to get my linux images to work
correctly I had to convert the disk type to thin

You can do it by logging into your ESXI host and going to the golden
image directory and running this command
I am using SCSI Hard disk for making Virtual Disk and converting the
disk over to thin

vmkfstools -i vmwarelinux-ubuntuLab63-v0.vmdk
vmwarelinux-ubuntuLab63-v1.vmdk -d thin

Then just change the image directory to look for the v1 that has the
now thin disk that work correctly. That's what I did to get it
working.

Re: Problems in Ubuntu image creation

Posted by "Huang,Lei" <lh...@PVAMU.EDU>.
Alex, 

  Thanks for your answers. How can I make sure the OS model is
os_linux_ubuntu. I don't see any option in the vcld -setup menu to choose
ubuntu. Only option for linux is generic vmware linux.

  Regarding the network, Ubuntu uses /etc/network/interfaces. After
creating ifcfg-eth0 to if cfg-eth6, will Ubuntu look for the ifcfg-eth*
for network configuration, instead of /etc/network/interfaces?

Thanks,
Lei

Re: Problems in Ubuntu image creation

Posted by Alexander Patterson <al...@csueastbay.edu>.
Hello,

I have got Ubuntu 11.04 32 Bit* working with the VCL for our campus
Make sure that
OS model should be
os_linux_ubuntu 	Ubuntu Linux OS Module 	  	VCL::Module::OS::Linux::Ubuntu
The OS should be
vmwareubuntu 	Vmware Ubuntu 	linux 	vmware 	vmware_images


Go into your /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/
You should make sure that you created ifcfg-eth0 to ifcfg-eth6, hear me out.

I have all 6 on Auto, I had noticed that sometimes a eth3 would show
up as a eth0 or the number can be off on the adapter numbering, so it
was easy to add more adapters that are not there but set to auto if
they show up, the image would kick off.
I used just this information according to
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/VCL/Create+a+Linux+Base+Image

DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
ONBOOT=yes

We are using DHCP, not static so it's a bit different then your setup.
But I can let you know that it works.
-Alex

RE: Problems in Ubuntu image creation

Posted by "Waldron, Michael H" <mw...@email.unc.edu>.
We are using Ubuntu images. I see the VCL trying to configure the RedHat-type network files and failing to do so since those files don't exist in Ubuntu. However in our case, the failures are harmless because we use DHCP, so I set the /etc/network/interface file accordingly in the initial image, and it doesn't need changing after that.

/etc/network/interfaces entries:
==========================
# The primary network interface
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp

auto eth1
iface eth1 inet dhcp
==========================

I don't think the disk type error is related to Ubuntu, seems to be coming from the vmware provisioning piece.

I also had to make the following changes in the Ubuntu images to prevent the network interfaces from being given different device names each time, e.g. eth2, eth3, etc.

For Ubuntu 9.04 and earlier:
Create /etc/udev/rules.d/90-persistent-net.rules file.
 Contents:
   SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", OPTIONS="ignore_device"

This prevents the device rules from assigning eth0 and eth1 different names because the mac addresses don't match the original machine.

For Ubuntu 10.04 and later:
Instead of creating 90-persistent-net.rules file, create /etc/init.d/udev-netrule script to remove
70-persistent-net.rules file on shutdown, so it doesn't exist when image is captured.
Contents:
  /bin/rm -f /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
Link to /etc/rc0.d/S10udev-netrule and /etc/rc6.d/S10udev-netrule.

Lei,

I was hoping someone actually using Ubuntu images would respond to this.

Here at NCSU, we aren't using Ubuntu images, but VCL should support them (at
least it did in the past).  Did you select Ubuntu as the OS when capturing the
image?

It is also possible that the Ubuntu module may need to be updated.
