Anyone know how to remotely boot a server so that a network boot (F12) automatically starts? For example, in Solaris, I can type "reboot -- net -s" (hope i remembered the syntax - been a while! )to reboot my server and begin a network installation without having to be at the console. I am looking for the same in SLES.

My client has a server on SL-10.1, that needs to be upgraded to 11.3. I have done upgrades before (from 11.0), but I need to know if I can upgrade from such an old version as well. I tried to add the 11.3 repo, but it refused to accept it. Is this already a sign that upgrading won't work?

All was fine until last week when our chief asked to me to set password expiration for all clients. This morning, all users cannot logon because, when they logon, windows asks to change password and then it gives error error "Access Denied".

I'm new to the principle of network boot and I was wondering if this is possible. Computer A runs openSUSE. Computer B is an older, slower computer. Computer A and computer B are connected using an Ethernet cable that supports two-way transport. Can I use network boot on computer B to use the OS on computer A remotely while computer A is being used too? Does it involve RDP? Will the remote user experience noticeable lags/delays? What do I need to install on computer A to make this happen?

I'm trying to install neon so that I can install SVN in order to try to install a Web Page Replay server.

I was able to install apr and apr-util and believe it also requires an XML parser so perhaps this is just an issue of pointing neon to the XML parser?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI wonder if there is an easy way to accomplish the following: I made a tool and part of it needs to be compiled. It would be easy if I can automate compilation for multiple platforms (x86 / x86_64 / RHEL / SLES / Ubuntu). Is there a way to do this automated on a single host? Or should I set up an os for each distro? Also is there a way to generate RPM and deb files also on the same host without having to edit the meta files each time a version changes?

View 10 Replies View RelatedI downloaded rhel 5.5 CD 1 iso to my PC, and used it as a virtual CD-ROM to kickstart HP DL380 G4.Here is my questions:
1. how can I cut and paste boot commands (very long strings) from my PC to iLO remote console?
2. is there anyway I can get "boot prompt" by ssh to iLo's IP?
3. after kickstart, I want to eject the virtual CD-ROM / media, I have tried the following method in the kickstart profile, but all failed, after reboot, it still boot from the virtual CD-ROM. So how can I reject the virtual CD-ROM for rhel 5.5 kickstart?
I've been trying to use a find command with -exec to find the differences between identically-named files in different paths. My initial attempt was to do something like this:
Code: find trunk/ -type f -not -path '*.svn*' -exec diff '{}' `echo '{}' | sed 's/^trunk///'` ;
Unfortunately this does not work at all as expected (the diff ends up executing on the same file)! I have narrowed it down to the subshell (inside the ``) but beyond that I have no idea. For some reason the sed, though written correctly, does not perform the substitution. I've changed the diff to echo and played with the sed command and the only way I can get it to perform _any_ substitution is to use .* as the regex. Even s/.*trunk.*/SUB/ doesn't work. Any insight into the inner workings of -exec/subshells/pipes or some crap I'm missing? Don't worry about rewriting the command to make it work; I simply swapped the paths and got rid of the subshell nonsense and everything works fine.
is there an easy way for me to get the hardware specs of a linux machine, such as number and type of processors, RAM, BIOS version, # of power supplies, etc from a command line?
I'm dealing with Dell servers, but even if i can just get number and type of processors and RAM config, that'd be great. I know how to easily do it in Windows, no clue on Linux.
Currently I backing up the MBR, the C and the other partitions to an external USB HDD and from there I restore them if needed. I use the SystemRescueCd and commands like dd if=/dev/sd* of=/mnt/PC_name/backupmbr.1 count=1 bs=512 and ntfsclone --save-image --output /mnt/PC_name/PC_name_c.img /dev/sd*1 etc. I want to clone the HDD the way, however, that I omit the external USB drive. I want to connect the new HDD to the PC and do the cloning directly from one disc to the other.
My questions are:
- Can you provide me with the exact command?
- Is that a difference if the disc is SATA or IDE?
- Can I copy the disc even if the old disc don't wan to boot?
The OS is Windows on the disc I want to clone.

View 4 Replies View RelatedCan one perform an installation of CentOS 5 (5.4) so that the system is up-to-date at the time of the first boot (i.e. Anaconda will pull and install the 'latest' versions of the packages directly, and the user needn't run `yum update` | `yum upgrade` after the system has been installed)?
If this is doable at all, is it possible to accomplish without making use of a personally custom-crafted-and-hosted repository (i.e. can one of the official CentOS mirrors be used)?
Also, I'm not talking about creating an install DVD containing the latest versions of the packages, but rather, if the netinstall media can be used to perform this particular type of installation.
I am using debian 5.04 + LXDE. In the past, I sometime encounter problems such as the distro broken after performed a full apt dist-upgrade or upgrade. Now, I am more conservative, I am using apt safe-upgrade.
I want to know are there anyway to do a better safe upgrade for debian without breaking the distro?
