Re: [cobbler] CentOS 7 install failure

[Chris Johnson]

Hi,

Don't know if this last post made it.

I've narrowed it down to something in the network_config, pre and post 
SNIPPETS.  I have seen bug report 1117640 however no data is missing as 
in that case,  I've done a cobbler system getks and all the data is 
there as far as I can tell.   I pulled all three SNIPPETs out and 
replaced them with the proper network kickstart line and the error about 
an illegal IP address string is gone. The install has other issues but 
that's not this problem.

So it's something in the network SNIPPETs that is causing the illegal IP 
address string error when trying  to install CentOS 7.

I have no idea where this bug 1117640 is from (Cent OS 7?), please post 
a link to it.

It would help if you would put the rendered kickstart file in a pastebin 
and send its URL to us so we can check its content.
cobbler system getks in Cobbler CLI or "View kickstart" button in 
systems list in web UI will generate it.

anaconda crashes or just outputs a warning and automated installation is 
stalled? Could you replicate the exact error message here?

It dumps the call stack and stops with a warning

Yes, C6.5 installs just fine.  Plus I've been through that before, 
different error.  Or it was in C6.  And it isn't case because the grep 
in the snippet is grep -i.

And it's C7 specific since 6.5 and lower all work.

Ok /tmp/pre_install_network_config contains the following

network --device=enp0s3 --bootproto=static --ip=192.168.1.14 
--netmask=255.255.255.0 --nameserver=75.75.76.76 --hostname=client4.net

And we have the problem.  Thank you very much Orion.

There are two ways to give cobbler a gateway IP when doing cobbler 
system add; 1) --if-gateway, 2) --gateway.  The scripts I have for 
adding my systems to cobbler use the former which puts the gateway in 
the ifcfg-eth0 file rather than /etc/sysconfig/network which is what 
--gateway does.  From the above we see no gateway listed at all.  It 
seems that C7 install wants the --gateway parameter used instead.  
Obviously I missed this in the notes.

I would make the suggestion that when a required or used parameter is 
missing a value or has an invalid value, a warning message to that 
effect listing the name of the parameter would more helpful than illegal 
IP address string passed to inet_aton.

Thank you again.

Try defaulting back to the old eth names? Google it. New way is that 
ether names are enumerated (en, em, etc).

I also had troubles  trying to use the enp0s0 type names.

I have a feeling that cobbler needs some work with way RH does device
naming now.

CentOS 7 install failure

[Ed - 0x1b, Inc.]

It isn't just RH - openSUSE Fedora have named networks this way
(deterministic) for several versions. Also, a network without a
gateway is a valid configuration as a level of security so Cobble
should be able to handle such a configuration.

Multi-homed servers using the old ethX syntax are not deterministic
regarding naming, the names can change depending on which nic wakes up
first. If you do any binding, or really anything with more than one
nic you risk the names in your configuration getting shuffled with
each boot. I think it is a two stage process, first the ethX naming
occurs as the nic wakes up and then udev renames them according to
biosdevname if possible:
Some of the detail are here, but dated from 2010 -
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/ConsistentNetworkDeviceNaming
or not...
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-March/028904.html
it's complicated as of systemd 197:

CentOS 7 install failure

[Alastair Munro]

We use the old eth naming on el7. Why? We have enough tech to juggle with and its just one
thing less. It also makes our el7 systems look the same as el5 and el6 ones. When I say
el, we also have centos/rhel and oracle Linux in the mix. Not to mention 2 Ubuntu releases
and then lots of different builds.

Thus I haven't tried el7 with new naming; could give it a test tomorrow if not too
busy.

Thinking about it I think I prefer eth naming; its more predictable and easier to code for
(in cheetha).
