RE: Kickstart fails mounting nfs source

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



RHEL4 update 3 (both amd-64 and i386) works fine using kickstart over
http. Installed several servers so far. But you need to keep one thing
in mind if you are dealing with HP servers with RAID controllers (though
DL140s I don't think have RAID controllers), refer to the following bug:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=187093


This is still true and reproducable every time I want to reproduce it.
Surprisingly there is no update on it so far.

I find HTTP much easier to use and debug. It might be slightly different
now that NFS is using TCP. But only having to ask for tcp/80 to be
opened in one direction and being able to check a log-file for
troubleshooting is worth my time :)

The same firewall rule is then used for installing updates using apt
(although in some environments we set up a remote tunnel using SSH).

Kind regards,
