Looks like it's not mouting to NFS shares which ideally the next steps

I saw NFS share mount issued was fixed for 10.40 but not sure.

Fixes for 10.40

I think I just reoplied in a different thread. You need 'network=1' as a boot option

Yes

root=/dev/ram0 rw ramdisk_size=396452 network=1 sstk_mount=10.1.11.200:/data/hp/hpe-scripting-toolkit-linux-10.40.37 sstk_mount_type=nfs sstk_mount_options=rw,nolock sstk_script=/shell.sh'

So is it working now, or are you still having issues?

Still having the same issue include file not found

Generally when I get the include file not found message it has something to do with the network or boot syntax. Since the toolkit now supports pulling the image across using HTTP, I pretty much have abandoned NFS. Originally trying to keep the boot image small for slow networks, you needed an NFS mount to pull the utility tools into the ram drive. For some time now, all the tools are included in the initrd image so there is no need to really have an NFS mount any longer. To add additional scripts into the tarball, I normally just untar the package, add in my custom scripts and files, and then tar everything back up. Here are two of my working boot lines for HTTP and NFS. This is from PXE booting and using ELILO as the boot loader, so you will need to make the proper edits for using pxelinux.0 or Grub2

image=/toolkit10.40-37/vmlinuz
    label=toolkit10.40
    description = "HP Scripting Toolkit 10.40-37"
    initrd=/toolkit10.40-37/initrd.img
    append="root=/dev/ram0 rw ramdisk_size=785612 quiet=1 network=1 media=net numa=off sstk_conf=toolkit.conf sstk_script=/shell.sh sstk_tgz=http://x.x.x.x/stk/hpe-scripting-toolkit-linux-10.40-37.tar.gz"

image=/toolkit10.40-37/vmlinuz
    label=toolkit10.40nfs
    description = "HP Scripting Toolkit 10.40-37 NFS"
    initrd=/toolkit10.40-37/initrd.img
    append="root=/dev/ram0 rw ramdisk_size=785612 quiet=1 network=1 media=net numa=off sstk_conf=toolkit.conf sstk_script=/shell.sh iso1=nfs://x.x.x.x/data/stk/hpe-scripting-toolkit-linux-10.40.iso"

Thanks Jimmy

http/tar.gz works and nfs/iso didn't work for me but still having an issue for NFS mount.

I'm also trying to capture hardware info and sending output to NFS mount.

how do you usually define sstk_mount option for capturing hardware info ?

sstk_mount does support http ??

Unfortunately if you need to gather info and save it, you will need to do an NFS mount. You may just need to add an NFS mount back to a writable area from within your script. If I get some time this week I will look at mounting NFS the old way (instead of using NFS to mount an ISO) to verify it still works

Thanks..!!

really something is broken with NFS shares

I tried to define sstk_mount via NFS doesn't work and NFS ISO mount doesn't work getting same include file not found issue.

local usb mount options work but I don't want to capture info to USB.

As per document NFS or /dev/xxx only two options avaiable for sstk_mount.

also found out below from 10.40 file, looks like sstk_mount nfs has DEPRECATED now ??

For now stop trying to use sstk_mount. use HTTP and pull over the tarball, as you tested above that is working for you. In your script add a mount command, something like

mkdir /mnt/nfs
mount x.x.x.x:/data/scratch /mnt/nfs -o rw,sync

then you can copy the data you want saved to /mnt/nfs/filename

yes this is working fine now including nfs mount into capture script.

Can you provide any example of how you use http to pull accros the hpe-sstk? I am using cobbler and the older hp-sstk was working regarding nfs for all the servers we need to support. Now with the hpe-sstk, nfs is not working on some of our older servers.

thanks,

Refer to my post earlier in this topic that was marked as the solution. It provides a PXE boot eaxample to get the tarball using HTTP
