Agent Install in %post

Dryv · ‎02-02-2011

Hi Guys,

Can you shed some light on this for me please. I am trying to install a management agent (hp) in the %post section of my KS.cfg file. It doesnt install for some reason. However once the script completes and the esx box is built I can copy the exact lines that install the agent in my script into an ssh session on the esx box and the agent installs just fine.

Not sure why this is...

Thanks

Can you you share with us the code that you're using to install the agent? If you rely on any particular VMware components such as esxupdate, since the OS has just installed, not all components have been started up. My generall rule of thumb is to only run things in %post that is 100% necessary, else I'll have everything as part of the "post installation" upon first boot and set it as the last S* script so that all components have been loaded up.

lawm,

Thanks for the response... sure here is the part of the script:

echo "***12">>/var/log/esx_install.log
/tmp/hpmgmt/851//install851vibs.sh --silent --inputfile /tmp/hpmgmt/851/hpmgmt.conf
echo "***12RT=$?">>/var/log/esx_install.log

Like I said it runs fine when I paste these lines into the esx box after the o/s is built and I ssh to it. I was starting to think on the same lines as what you suggested. How would I get the majority of my %post section into S* all automated as I have always been accustomed having esx build scripts run in rc.local?

This particular script looks interesting:

/tmp/hpmgmt/851/install851vibs.sh

The name *vibs* is probably the key and I'm going to assume if you take a look inside this script it's probably using a VMware VIB and esxupdate to perform the installation? Could you share the contents of that installation script?

What version of ESX(i) are you using?

Dryv · ‎02-03-2011

Hi lawm,

I am running ESX 4.0.0, 261974

Something interesting....

Everything runs in my lines but the failure occurs after install851vibs.sh is executed. Specifically around the time just after it puts the server in maintenance mode... So I tried something else. I tried running this script as a run once logon script when ESX is fully installed and running, however again it failed with the same thing...

Is it possible to just put the host into mainteance as part of your %post but don't apply the HP patches until firstboot and create an init script that runs at the very end? (e.g. S999999InstallHPStuff)? I'm wondering if it's just having some issues around maintenance mode and then running the script ...

Dryv · ‎02-06-2011

Hi Lawm,

Yep I can try that and let you know... the other odd thing that relates to this is that my scripted section for creating user accounts doesnt work. All the users get created with group memberships as specified, the only thing is the password doesnt get recognised and I have to manually reset the user password after they are created inorder for them to work. Again, if I run this scrip line by line after the build manually, it works just fine including password. When I run the script the account passwords are created as 3DES... when commands are run manualy the account passwords are created as MD5, not sure why the difference, the lines are same in both methods...

Just these two niggly things in my script that arent working as expected, and I cant figure out why.

Thanks for your help so far.

Dryv · ‎02-06-2011

Lamw, i've been spelling your name wrong... apologies about that.

Dryv · ‎02-09-2011

lamw, still the same thing... eve if I put the ESX server into maintenance mode before running the HP script, it still fails... how does everyone else fully automate their builds i wonder...?

hartlandroberts · ‎02-09-2012

Hi so how to be breif and informative here. I also have HP SIM install and do so with automation as part of the load. To be honest I do as little as possible in the ks.cfg portion in %post. I do have it put a rc script out as suggested S9999blah that runs post reboot and that does the work including cleanup. I have found the extra reboot(s) may be needed espcially if you use esxupdate for patching. here are some key things to note:

Putting things into maintenance mode required hostd to be fully up and running which may take 50-90 second beyond percieved completion of boot.

Next be aware that HP SIM is very particular as to build number. In fact if you are patching as I do the build number changes but NOT until after reboot.

So if you install HP-SIM to match your final post patching build number, before you reboot after patching, it will fail plain and simple. If you are patching to update, you may even have to uninstall HPSIM N-1 and then reboot post patching in oder to install the N version of HP-SIM properly. Multiple reboots can solve things but do get messy.

So a healthy sleep post rebooting a host never goes amiss, should you plan to do any commands like maintence mode, which HP-SIM does in fact do, just like good patching scripts will do.

In the end, simple right? So I am new to posting, what is the ettiquette? May I say to contact me if you have questions? That is as long as you don't work for one of our competitors.
