Hi All, I've finally gotten my completely hands-off upgrade procedure working fairly well. However, for various reasons, the kickstart installation bombs out. Some examples are this: 1. I forget to export the nfs kickstart file to the client. 2. There is an error in the kickstart file, so the installation bombs with an error. 3. There is a problem with the disk partitioning or maybe the mouse isn't auto recognized, so the installation pauses asking for keyboard/mouse input to answer questions. In any case, when I perform a hands-off upgrade, I set it in motion, then I usually pray for success for an hour. If the machine doesn't come back within an hour, THEN I walk over to the console to figure out what went wrong. Is there any way for me to check the progress while the upgrade is going on? Maybe something can be put into the %post and %pre sections to send me updates. Or maybe there is a way to watch the NFS server since the clients upgrade off the ISOS on my NFS kickstart server. I've been running "nfsstat -s" on the NFS server, and I can sort of see the NFS traffic but this isn't very accurate. It wouldn't be such an issue, but sometimes the computers are really far away, and inconvient to access. Thanks, Cheryl -- Cheryl Southard cld@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
