| ildikov | cshh: Hi, For controller-1, the documentation says to force it to boot from the network, so I don't think booting it from the ISO is supported. | 17:55 |
|---|---|---|
| cshh | ildikov: guessed as much, traced the whole pxeboot/kickstart thing, got the necessary bits from there and successfully bootstrapped controller-1 from iso now :) | 18:15 |
| cshh | it is really not that hard and could be a small guide in the docs | 18:15 |
| cshh | i am also thinking of modifying the iso to provide an option to bootstrap controller-1 | 18:16 |
| cshh | better approach however would be fixing the pxe install for vmware virtual machines | 18:17 |
| ildikov | oh, that's great news!! | 18:30 |
| ildikov | it would be great if you could contribute to get the docs fixed | 18:32 |
| ildikov | would that be something you're open to do? | 18:32 |
| ildikov | Also, what do you mean by 'fixing the pxe install for vmware virtual machines'? | 18:33 |
| ildikov | cshh: ^^ | 18:33 |
| cshh | pxe installed controller cannot boot in VMware ESXi | 18:34 |
| cshh | they just stop booting when it comes to switch to rootfs/ostree | 18:35 |
| cshh | that problem does not exists on hardware or kvm based hypervisor and exists with all storage controllers on vmware | 18:35 |
| cshh | i wasn't able to find the root cause for that as debugging in the initramfs stage of aboot is kinda complicated :D | 18:36 |
| ildikov | ah, ok, got it | 18:43 |
| cshh | do you know if it is possible the install a new fluxcd application to the central cloud and the subclouds? | 18:43 |
| ildikov | by new, do you mean an application that is not currently supported through StarlingX? | 18:44 |
| cshh | we have packed our own helm charts as applications for starlingx and can upload them fine | 18:45 |
| ildikov | it's a bummer about vmware, since they introduced ESXi, things just haven't been the same :/ | 18:45 |
| ildikov | at least that's my experience | 18:45 |
| cshh | but how to upload them so they get distributed to the subclouds? | 18:46 |
| cshh | or do we need to install them individually on every subcloud? | 18:47 |
| ildikov | hmm, that is a very good question | 18:48 |
| ildikov | I know that the system is capable of pushing out software updates and patches | 18:48 |
| cshh | i wouldn't bore you with bad questions :D | 18:48 |
| ildikov | but I'm not sure about all that on the application level | 18:49 |
| ildikov | well, that's very nice of you ;D | 18:49 |
| ildikov | OutBackDingo might have experience with that | 18:49 |
| ildikov | this could also be a good question for the mailing list and/or the weekly call on Wednesday | 18:53 |
| cshh | Yeah, me and my team got lots of questions, i'll try to make the time on wednesday | 19:25 |
| ildikov | sounds great, thank you! | 20:03 |
