General :: Difference Between Installation And Deployment
Apr 24, 2011Anyone explain me the difference between installation and deployment?

View 4 RepliesI previously had a machine that dual booted Windows 7 and Ubuntu 10.10 32 bit. I recently attempted to wipe out the 32 bit Ubuntu and install 64 bit Ubuntu.
Here what I did:
- I booted from the LiveCD, and had no problems
- I formatted /sda3 using gparted. I checked that Ubuntu resided on /sda3 via the command "sudo fdisk -l". This worked fine.
- I then clicked the "install ubuntu" option on the desktop, and chose the largest chunk of free space.
- About 15% through the install, I was told the CD could not be read from due to a potential scratch or issue. I then tried to revert back to the Os running from the LiveCD, and things went crazy. I had trouble shutting down the machine and did a hard reset.
Now, whenever I boot I am greeted with the following message:
Windows Deployment Services: PXE boot aborted
error: no such partition
grub rescue>
At the grub rescue prompt when I ls, I see:
(hd0) (hd0,4) (hd0,2) (hd0,1)
I can still boot the LiveCD. I tried that again and tried to again format sda3 using gparted but had no luck fixing the issue. When booting from the LiveCD I am also told by gparted that "sda1 does not coincide with a cylinder boundary" or something of that nature.
Need comparison of features and performance of Kickstart to Windows Deployment Service? (What do they have in common).
View 4 Replies View RelatedThe last days I try to find a good and easy solution to keep new installed Servers with same basic configuration. For example every new Installed Server should have:
- phpmyadmin installed and configured
- munin installed and configured
- mysql server with some predefined users and passwords
- same users created with existing ssh keys. also ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file with pub key inside
At the moment I use some bash script to create the users and sync the keys. Basically I need to install predefined packages and remove some other packages configure some config files (or copy working configs). I have looked at cfengine and puppet Server. And I am asking my self if this tools are overkill for this task.
I am writing a python package deployment tool for linux based platforms. I have tried various existing tool sets but none of them is up to the mark and they have their own issues. Initially I'll start with simple approach.
1. Find all the modules/packages and copy to "lib" directory.
2. Find python's *.so dependencies (system libs) and copy them to "syslib"
3. Copy python (executable) and libpython2.6.so.1.0 into "dist" directory.
4. Set up temp environment
5. Run main script using "python <main script>.py"
The idea is to produce a cleaner directory structure. Neither I am creating a boot loader nor I am converting main script file into executable. It's plain vanilla stuff. Using above steps I have pulled down a package using wxPython's demo example "pySketch.py". You can download the archive from here: [URL]. After extracting the contents, run the executable file using "./run". This file sets temporary environment variables and execute "pySketch.py". This is eventually not working. I think I am not able to set up temporary environment properly or may be missing some other stuff.
I am regularly keeping watch on kernel releases like 2.6.36-rcX and compiling the upcoming kernel releases on Fedora 13.I came across STP [URL] and PLM testing and seems like it is relevant tool for compiling, testing the kernel components in very precise way. I am unable to find the documents which can help in how to implement or run the tool. I have just downloaded the Test-suit tar and dont see any README or steps to test or run the tool.
View 1 Replies View RelatedAnyone done a deployment of Samba3 > 3.3.4. Had to install this version as I am preparing a domain for Windows 7 computers. My installation on CentOS went well. smbd and nmbd are running OK. I am able to test user accounts with the
smbclient -U usertest \hostusertest
However, I cannot seem to be able to add a computer, even a Win XP workstation to the domain. I used smb.conf files from a previous Samba 3.0.28 with minimal modifications. Kindly forward your smb.conf file, here is mine:
[global]
workgroup = DOMAIN
netbios name = DOMAIN_SERVER
server string = Samba Server Version %v
passdb backend = tdbsam
log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
max log size = 40 .....
I have a Linux OS, and I want to make it as an image so that I can install 20 servers with that image as baseline OS.How to do that? As I know:
1. kickstart == is only for new OS instalation, it needs a Linux CD source
2. systemimage == is for clone the partition (not massive deployment)
3. kiwi == only for SUSE
We have a customer that wants to look at other possibilities regarding deployment of redhat server. They are now using Altiris. Do you have any other good software, free or not free.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI have to deploy a server to some customers that should not be given access to the server itself. I know that nothing is 100% secure but I've searched without finding a decent answer (maybe I googled for the wrong terms ?)I need some advice about encrypted filesystem. * The server must boot without asking for a passphrase (the server will be in a restricted access area so typing a password could take a while). I can't store the password for luks in an unencrypted file so it seems a loop to me. The only way out I can see is to store the passphrase in the boot binaries (better than nothing...) but this results in more work for me.* possibly the customer should not be able to move the hard disks to another pc, i.e. reading the passphrase from some unique hardware ID. This is risky but I could add a master passphrase to be used in case of hardware replacement
View 3 Replies View RelatedI installed lucid using wubi to dual boot with vista - I'm just wondering if there's any advantage to be gained into going back into vista, un installing lucid, making the necessary partitions and reinstalling lucid 'properly'.I use both OSs on a laptop so the power issue regarding fs vulnerability isn't that much of a concern.

The 3.4G is correct because we have removed all non essential file but free space reported by df is not consistent with the actual free space that should be there.
