1.1 Overview

This document applies to the Genesis process for Libre Platform.

There are several different ways of executing the procedures in this document.

Defaults assume that the host to go through Libre Genesis is on a lan where optimum speed is in place.

Defaults assume that the machine first takes a genesis identity where all base packages are rapidly loaded.

Then we configure for the real identity.

DHCP for Genesis Machines

Need to setup. Defaults to generic unless mac address is in OSMT database.

Fully Automated Installation

Look into existing servers. Merge with OSMT databases.

1.2 Ways of Building the Platform

1.2.1 Base OS Loading

Expected to happen behind a firewall with a DHCP server in place.

No secret passwords used.

User Name: intra   User Passwd: intra   BoxName: Either assigned or __UnAssigned''   Host Name: intra   Root Passwd: intra

1.2.2 OSMT Genesis1 Install

Expected to happen behind a firewall with a DHCP server in place.

No secret passwords used.

User Name: lsipusr   User Passwd: intra   BoxName: Either assigned or __UnAssigned''   Host Name: genesis1   Root Passwd: intra   Anon CVS

1.2.3 OSMT Specific Host Install

Expected to happen with Internet visibility (not firewalled).

Static IP Address.

Developer Managed.

All Generic accounts have strong passwd assigned.

NOTE: in order to use RAID1, we need at least 2 identical hard drives.

1. At the Partitioning method, choose ”Manually edit partition table”
2. Highlight the first disk (e.g. SCSI1). When prompted to ”Create new empty partition table on this device?”, answer YES. Do the same thing for the second disk.
3. Highlight SCSI1 - FREE SPACE, then

2.5 Windows XP and Ubuntu / Debian Dual Boot

2.5.1 Windows Preparations

Before starting the dual boot, first make sure the Windows disk is FULLY BACKED UP.

It is necessary to defragment the Windows disk. Use “Creating a Dual-Boot Windows Xp and Ubuntu Laptop” by Kevin Farnham in O’Reilly Linuxdevcenter.com.

Briefly:

Go to Start>All Programs>Accessories>System Tols>Disk Defragmenter

2.5.3 Ubuntu 7.04/Feisty Installation

For detailed information on Ubuntu/Windows XP dual boot, see and use “Windows with NTFS + Fiesty...”

Google Search:   Creating a Dual-Boot Windows XP and Ubuntu Laptop.     http://users.bigpond.net.au/hermanzone/p3.htm   http://www.linuxdevcenter.com/pub/a/linux/2006/05/08/dual-boot-laptop.html

Briefly:

Insert Ubuntu 7.04 i386 Alternate          CD and reboot computer     Override BIOS by pushing F2 (or F12?) right away     Install in text mode.     U.S. English KeyBoard.     Configure Network: wired or wireless, choose wired     Hostname: boxName     Follow instructions from __Windows with NTFS + Fiesty...''

Choose Manual Partitioning.

During the partitioning stage, you need to make space for the windows, ubuntu, swap, and FAT32 partitions.

The specifics for the partitions are:

[Windows Partition]   Primary partition   Beginning location   Use as: ntfs   Mount point: /windows   Bootable flag: on     [Swap]   Logical partition   End location   Use as: Swap   Bootable flag: off     [FAT32]   Logical partition   End location   Use as: FAT32 file system   Mount point: /fat32     [Ubuntu]   Primary partition   Beginning location   Use as: Ext3 journaling file system   Mount point: /   Mount options: defaults   Label: none   Reserved blocks: 5&   Typical usage: Standard   Bootable flag: on

When these specifics match, then proceed with the rest of the installation.

Grub will give you options for Ubuntu and Windows XP.

2.5.4 In Case Of Windows XP Boot Failure

In the case of a Dell Inspiron 640m, the Windows XB boot failed after the above.

Briefly here is how the dual boot was restored.

- Re-Install Windows XP in the Windows Partition     This includes deleting the windows partition and     reformating it from Windows XP installation CD.     - Windows XP will overwrite GRUB and Windows XP     will now boot.     - We now need to reinstall GRUB to provide dual boot.     1. Boot with any live CD (I've done it with Ubuntu Live DVD)     2. Get a root shell -> Applications / System Tools / Root Terminal     3. Check the Ubuntu partition -> fdisk -l (Mine is /dev/hda3)     4. Make a folder -> mkdir /mnt/hda3     5. Mount the root partition of Ubuntu ->      mount -t ext3 /dev/hda3 /mnt/hda3      (replace /dev/hda3 by your Ubuntu partition determined at the step 3)     6. Chroot the mounted partition -> chroot /mnt/hda3     7. Restore Grub / the initial MBR -> grub-install /dev/hda      -- The previous dual boot info is kept, don't worry.     8. Exit the shell     9. Reboot

LSIP Genesis Layer

3.1 Obtain NlpGenesis Script

Once the base Debian/Ubuntu has been installed, we then obtain the Neda Libre Platform Genesis Script with which Neda Libre Platform will be installed.

Login to the box which should be in DistVirgin state/phase:

Verify that the box is in the baseOsLoaded:   cat /etc/lsipState     If everything's in place then continue to the next step.     ssh -X root@<boxIntraNetAddr>

Bring over the nlpGenesis script:

cd ~   wget http://www.bysource.org/lsip/lpGenesis.sh   chmod 775 ./lpGenesis.sh

3.2 Enable OSMT

bash ./lpGenesis.sh   or   bash ./lpGenesis.sh atNeda

and follow the instructions.

At the end of this step, you can assume full availability of all OSMT scripts.

3.3 lpSysMgmtSteps.sh

[] As its last step        lpGenesis.sh      invokes        /opt/public/osmt/bin/lpSysMgmtSteps.sh -h -i stepByStep

The rest of this section matches structure of lpSysMgmtSteps.sh

3.3.1 DistVirgin Verify

3.3.2 Lp Base Software Update

Using the selected apt-sources, download all additional base software packages.

3.3.3 Identity Select

Set the OSMT Id. However the new Identity is not set

3.3.4 Lp Specific Software Update

Given the identity we now know what software packages should be loaded.

3.3.5 Identity Set

This involves a reset and potential Network change.
