Please point me to 1.2.0 -> 1.3.4 for Centos 6.7 upgrade docs/guide.

@Tom-Elliott Additional info from Optiplex Desktop:
-
@BardWood That message (the it exists is non-issue).
SO now that we know the device name (it’s not /dev/sda)
Try the
foguntil it fails.Then when it fails at the prompt try:
parted -s /dev/nvme0n1 mkpart primary ntfs 206848s -- -1s -
@Tom-Elliott Tried that (see below): Output = ‘Error: You requested a partition from 106mb to 512gb (sectors 206848… 1000215215)’
-
@BardWood It’s a 512 Gb disk?
-
can you try:
parted -s /dev/nvme0n1 mkpart primary ntfs 206848s 100% -
I see what the problem is.
What I don’t understand is what the OS is.
Can you get contents of
ls /images/<relevantimagehere>? -
@Tom-Elliott I’ll post the gen1\gen5\Optiplex7010 directory listing(s) but it’s affecting ALL images. All deploys fail with 1.3.X. This isn’t some system I casually use from time-to-time. This is a production system with storage nodes in NY, Dublin, Zurich and Singapore. These images are battle-tested and have been deployed hundreds of times each. That said…:

@Tom-Elliott I will try the 100% switch. Also, no change with RC16.

@BardWood I’m rebuilding init’s that I hope might help you out with this. I’ll let you know when it’s ready if you’d be so kind as to see if your images will work after this?
-
Init’s are up at:

@Tom-Elliott No luck. Fails the same way when trying to recreate the main partition at init. This was on the ‘Gen1’. I’ll try a couple others.
-
@BardWood I know this thread has gone a little off topic and is now all about getting the old images to work with fog 1.3.x, however - After Tom assists with getting the old images working correctly (this has to be done no matter what), you could migrate to a newer OS using this guide: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Migrate_FOG
That guide is Linux Distribution Agnostic. -
@BardWood I see and I think I see why too.
Essentially, if you’re wondering, because you have the d1.original.partitions file, I’m trying to get it to stop trying to use the
partedcommand at all to build your layout. If this doesn’t exist, it should still fall back to thepartedlayout.I just had a bad file checker element and I’m hoping it’s fixed now.
If you don’t mind redoing the download (from the same point) and retry again? I know I’m having you try many things, but it’s all to try to get your images back to an operational state.
-
@Wayne-Workman Actually, it’s about getting any images to work. I can’t record new images either. I definitely want to upgrade CentOS at some point. I do have VMWare. Perhaps on the side I’ll start building a CentOS 7 server. I did have an early beta of 1.3 working on CentOS 7. The master worked great but wasn’t having luck with the storage nodes so I wiped it out. In fact, I’m going to do this tomorrow. Our imaging system has been down for a week but I could really use some of the features in 1.3.
-
@BardWood What do you mean you haven’t been able to capture? Is it because you want to deploy the image to a system first, then capture, or are you having issues capturing altogether?
-
@Tom-Elliott Didn’t work but I did get a different message:
-
@BardWood Building another new set, just waiting for them to complete their compression cycles.
I’ll let you know, and again thanks for all the help so far.
