#229 Issue `closed`: SGI uv100 with SLES 11 SP1¶

Labels: enhancement, documentation, support / question, fixed / solved / done

umcastello opened issue at 2013-04-30 18:11:¶

I tried to run the system rear (rear-1.14-3.noarch.rpm) in a computer SGI uv100 with SLES 11 SP1 and got the following error:

rear -v mkbackup¶

Relax-and-Recover 1.14 / Git
Using log file: /var/log/rear/rear-machine.log
Creating disk layout
ERROR: Unknown boot loader elilo found in '/etc/sysconfig/bootloader'
Aborting due to an error, check /var/log/rear/rear-machine.log for details
Terminated

Is there any way to fix this?

Best regards,
Ulisses

@umcastello I noticed you closed this issue, is this no longer needed ? Did you fix it in some way ? It would be nice to learn from your experience :-)

umcastello commented at 2013-06-30 14:11:¶

Hello,

Actually I could not solve the problem.
I did not close the problem I just unsubscribe the list.

Cheers,
Ulisses

The issue history states "@umcastello closed the issue 2 months ago". That's why nobody offered to help you with this issue.

umcastello commented at 2013-07-01 01:22:¶

Yes. This is the point.

seems related to issue #254

gdha commented at 2013-07-11 06:48:¶

special code for SLES for the mkbootloader has been removed -

commit 29b7d36c430cd1b5587d21f06980e22684859369
Author: Jeroen Hoekx jeroen@hoekx.be
Date: Fri Feb 8 11:00:49 2013 +0100

Remove special handling of Suse bootloader.

Using the Suse saved bootloader information does not work when restoring to a
system with a different layout.

please update your repository and try again...

@umcastello did you have time to retest with an updated repo?

umcastello commented at 2013-08-14 14:28:¶

Hi Gdha,

I´m trying from this repo:
https://github.com/downloads/rear/rear/rear-1.14.tar.gz
Am I correct?

@umcastello could you give rear-1.15 a try as there were some UEFI detection fixes in it?

gdha commented at 2013-10-11 14:00:¶

@umcastello check issue #214 - perhaps it is the same? What did the rear.log say about the error?

umcastello commented at 2013-10-14 13:27:¶

Hello Dag,

I will try the new version 1.15.

I need install the last version.

See download sections for SLES at http://relax-and-recover.org/download/
Ok, I see, on SLES 11 rpm -ql dosfstools | grep dosfslabel => no dosfslabel command present. How do you view the label then on SLES?

Hi,

I don´t have dosfslabel in my suse 11 sp1.

See download sections for SLES at http://relax-and-recover.org/download/
Ok, I see, on SLES 11 rpm -ql dosfstools | grep dosfslabel => no
dosfslabel command present. How do you view the label then on SLES?

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=649046 explains that the dosfslabel command is now part of the dosfstools package. Hum, dates back from 2010, and now in 2015 on SLES 11SP3 there is no trace of dosfslabel even the package is installed:

# rpm -ql dosfstools

SLES 12 seems ok:

jsmeix commented at 2015-04-29 09:14:¶

Regarding https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/229#issuecomment-97048029 I can explain why dosfslabel is still missing even on SLE11-SP3:

https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=649046 is about openSUSE 11.3 and SLE11 is basically based on openSUSE 11.1 (cf. the list of values for the suse_version RPM macro in https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Build_Service_cross_distribution_howto)

Therefore the issue exists also in SLE11.

Unfortunaltely the issue was not fixed in any SLE11 service pack so that dosfslabel is still missing even on SLE11-SP3.

jsmeix commented at 2015-04-29 09:43:¶

I submittend an internal request to get dosfslabel included in SLE11.

As far as I understand it dosfslabel is only needed to recover vfat partitions and because for UEFI Boot Loader its EFI System partition (ESP) is a vfat partition, dosfslabel is also needed for UEFI.

Or are there more cases where rear needs dosfslabel?

gdha commented at 2015-04-29 09:48:¶

@jsmeix No that is basically it - was yesterday busy with a bunch of SLES SAP HANA systems based on SLES11SP3 and using UEFI to boot from, so that is why dosfslabel was needed. However, as UEFI ISO creation is not possible (see issue #214) I disabled UEFI and to recover a one-time boot into legacy BIOS is required. Afterwards, UEFI booting needs to be configured manually...

jsmeix commented at 2015-04-29 09:54:¶

@gdha
many thanks for the information!

schlomo commented at 2015-04-29 12:54:¶

Maybe in this case we will spend less total effort by removing the
dependency on dosfslabel? mkfs.vfat allows setting the label and blkid can
be used to retrieve the label, with probably a bunch of other tools.

jsmeix commented at 2015-04-29 15:40:¶

I am faster!
;-)

I built our newest dosfstools from the Base:System development project of the openSUSE build service in my personal playground project home:jsmeix also for SLE11 (all SLE11 service packs and various openSUSE versions and SLE12) for direct RPM download from
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/jsmeix/

Please read
https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/home:jsmeix

For example how I installed it on my SLE11-SP3 64bit x86_64 system:

# wget http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/jsmeix/SLE_11_SP3/x86_64/dosfstools-3.0.27-93.1.x86_64.rpm
...
2015-04-29 17:32:45 (8.55 MB/s) - `dosfstools-3.0.27-93.1.x86_64.rpm' saved [91120/91120]
# rpm -Uhv dosfstools-3.0.27-93.1.x86_64.rpm
...
1:dosfstools  ######################## [100%]
# type -a dosfslabel
dosfslabel is /sbin/dosfslabel
dosfslabel is /usr/sbin/dosfslabel

Note that this results a version upgrade from dosfstools 2.11 that is originally provided (and supported) in SLE11 to dosfstools 3.0.27 and I did not at all check if there are incompatibilities.

RedBrick36 commented at 2015-05-01 21:08:¶

my .02
When it errored out, I edited the script (All I did was comment out the
call for dosfslabel) told it to continue and it finished running the
script just fine....

dosfslabel (fatlabel) is not part of dosfstools 2.11.

dosfstools 2.11 is provided up to SLE11-SP3 which means using dosfslabel cannot work up to SLE11-SP3.

For the upcoming SLE11-SP4 we will provide a version upgrade to dosfstools-3.0.26 (the same as we provide in SLE12) which means using dosfslabel will work for SLE11-SP4 (and SLE12).

Regarding @RedBrick36 "comment out the call for dosfslabel":

I am not at all a sufficient expert in this area to imagine if leaving out the call for dosfslabel may cause whatever issues elsewhere in some/many/most? cases.

If it should work in almost all cases also without the call for dosfslabel, a generic solution could be to test if dosfslabel can be called and only use it if it exists.

pavoldomin commented at 2015-11-05 07:51:¶

@gdha how have you addressed a missing dosfslabel, when doing UEFI-booting DR of SAP HANA SLES (cf. http://www.it3.be/2015/10/27/uefi-iso-boot-with-ebiso/)? Have you installed dosfstools from the repo referenced by @jsmeix above, or does the recovery work also without? I am concerned because of the line in my rear -v savelayout log:

/usr/share/rear/layout/save/GNU/Linux/23_filesystem_layout.sh: line 130: dosfslabel: command not found

pavoldomin commented at 2015-11-05 09:16:¶

If I actually tried also mkrescue, I would not ask stupid questions, as it fails immediately with the clear message:

# rear mkrescue
ERROR: Cannot find required programs: dosfslabel
Aborting due to an error, check /var/log/rear/rear-hostname.log for details
Terminated

So you must have had dosfstools extra upgraded on your SLES11 server for HANA recovery @gdha , right?

pavoldomin commented at 2015-11-05 09:35:¶

I am willing to obsolete the requirement of dosfstools by blkid and mkfs.vfat, as outlined above by @schlomo , unless you guys have reasons not to. I would post a pull request.

gdha commented at 2015-11-05 10:17:¶

@pavoldomin Here is an example of a /etc/rear/local.conffile:

# SAP HANA on UEFI capable systems need EFI and DOS tools.
# SLES 11 SP3 does not have dosfslabel executable in package dosfstools-2.11-121.30.1
# Download package with dosfslabel included from (SLES 11 SP4 and SLES 12 are fine):
#  wget http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/jsmeix/SLE_11_SP3/x86_64/dosfstools-3.0.28-97.1.x86_64.rpm
# and update it :
# rpm -Uvh dosfstools-3.0.28-97.1.x86_64.rpm

# ebiso package is available at (SLES 11 SP3):
#  wget http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/gdha/SLE_11_SP3/x86_64/ebiso-0.1.4-7.1.x86_64.rpm
# Install it: rpm -ivh ebiso-0.1.4-7.1.x86_64.rpm
# Furthermore ebiso needs rear higher then 1.17.2 (e.g. use a development release)
ISO_MKISOFS_BIN=/usr/bin/ebiso

# Define backup method and location
BACKUP=NETFS
BACKUP_URL=nfs://sgnt8133/var/archive

# make sure to exclude ALL SAP HANA related volume groups and mount points
EXCLUDE_VG=( vgHANA-data-HC2 vgHANA-data-HC3 vgHANA-log-HC2
  vgHANA-log-HC3 vgHANA-shared-HC2 vgHANA-shared-HC3 )
BACKUP_PROG_EXCLUDE=( ${BACKUP_PROG_EXCLUDE[@]} '/hana/*' )

If you would like to get rid of dosfslabel be my guest by creating a patch using blkid and mkfs.vfat -n label scheme. I really don't mind. It would save you lots of work (not to update dosfstools on all SLES 11 systems). However, if you wish to do so - could you re-open this issue so it is easier to track (for us). Or, perhaps, create a new issue...

pavoldomin commented at 2015-11-05 12:24:¶

Thanks @gdha. I will indeed open separate new issues (dosfslabel is just one of them) and submit patches for problems I am having with my current DR tests, related with the complex uefi-booting landscape. You can expect several pull requests coming from me next week ;)

jsmeix commented at 2015-11-05 13:36:¶

@gdha
I think your above example of a /etc/rear/local.conf
for SAP HANA on UEFI capable systems
would make perfect sense to be added into
the new usr/share/rear/conf/examples directory
(cf. https://github.com/rear/rear/pull/681).

jsmeix commented at 2015-11-05 13:49:¶

@gdha
right now I copied dosfstools and ebiso to the openSUSE Build Service
project Archiving:Backup:Rear to make them avaialbe at the same
place where rear is:

$ osc copypac -e home:gdha ebiso Archiving:Backup:Rear ebiso
$ osc copypac -e Base:System dosfstools Archiving:Backup:Rear dosfstools

I will check how they build there.

If they build sufficiently there, I will adapt the URLs in
your above example of a /etc/rear/local.conf
for SAP HANA on UEFI
and add it into the new
usr/share/rear/conf/examples directory

jsmeix commented at 2015-11-05 13:51:¶

small documentation add-on it is o.k.

They should be automatically published in a few hours
