HP Insight Control for Linux 6.0 Release Notes

3.3.4 Additions to Chapter 6, Managing the Insight Control for Linux repository
The following items should be added to Chapter 6 in the specified locations:
• Section 6.2.2 is missing the following NOTE. It should be positioned after step 3 of the
procedure to register an OS in the repository.
NOTE: The VMware ESX and ESXi operating systems use revision numbers that have
multiple sub-versions, for example ESX3.0.3U4, that are not matched exactly when registering
the operating system into the repository.
Thus, when registering a VMware ESX and ESXi operating system in the repository, for the
Operating System drop-down menu, select the VMware ESX or ESXi operating system
that most describes the OS. For example, use ESX3.0 both for VMware ESX3.0.3U4. Be
sure to enter the full version (using the same example, ESX3.0.3U4) for the Name and
Description fields in step 7.
• Add the following Note in Section 6.3.6.
NOTE: If you want to perform an automated installation of a custom OS that was registered
with the repository in an earlier version of Insight Control for Linux (that is, prior to V6.0)
and you have upgraded to Version 6.0, you need to create the
/opt/repository/instconfig/custom/OS_Name directory manually.
In Version 6.0, Insight Control for Linux automatically creates this directory when a custom
OS is registered with the repository. However, in versions of Insight Control for Linux before
V6.0, automated custom OS installations were not supported; that directory would not exist.
3.3.5 Additions to Chapter 10, Capturing and deploying Linux images
In section 10.2, Prerequisites to capturing a Linux image, the following row should be added to
Table 10-2, Source and target deployment requirements:
RequirementItem
The target system needs to have at least as many disks as the source system.Disks
The following items should be added to the list in Section 10.6.1, Partition wizard requirements and
guidelines.
• If you are capturing and deploying a reiserfs or an ext3 partition type, ensure that the
mount points are set, as required. Partition types swap and lvm do not have mount points.
The Partition Wizard permits you to proceed without specifying mount points for the
reiserfs and ext3 partition types, and it does not detect the missing mount points. This
might cause the deployment to fail, and the failure is indicated in the Task Results.
• The Partition Wizard does not save entered values for reuse.
If you used the Partition Wizard to create a partition scheme, then use the <Previous button
to return to the Partition Wizard page two or more times, the partition scheme you created
is lost and the default partition scheme is displayed again. You must re-create the partition
scheme.
Likewise, If you are rerunning a task and had used the Partition Wizard to create a partition
scheme, the partition scheme you previously created is lost; you must re-create the partition
scheme.
