Hi,
Anybody ever setup cimtest on RHEL5Server ia64 system? I met with make issue. Think the file cimtest/suites/libvirt-cim/images/Makefile should be updated for ia64 system.
Hi TianYan, Welcome to the list =) I don't have an ia64 box available, so I haven't been able to test on ia64. I haven't heard mention of anyone else doing so, so my guess is you're the first.
# cd path_to_cimtest/suites/libvirt-cim/images/ # make if uname -r | grep -q xen; then \ cp /boot/vmlinuz-`uname -r` /tmp/default-xen-kernel; \ fi cp: cannot stat `/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-92.1.26.el5xen': No such file or directory make: *** [/tmp/default-xen-kernel] Error 1
$ rpm -qilp kernel-xen-2.6.18-92.1.26.el5.ia64.rpm | grep vmlinuz-2.6.18-92.1.26.el5xen /boot/efi/EFI/redhat/vmlinuz-2.6.18-92.1.26.el5xen
On itanium the kernel seems to be installed in a subdir, the simplest might be to copy it by hand.
I suspect there will be other problems trying to build the image since we rely on the ramdisks provided by XenSource (http://xm-test.xensource.com/ramdisks/). If you have a pre-existing image that you can use, you could copy it to /tmp. cimtest expects to see the following: /tmp/default-xen-dimage /tmp/default-xen-dimage.2ND /tmp/default-xen-initrd
Maybe the Makefile could be fixed along the lines of
find /boot -name vmlinuz-`uname -r` -exec cp {} /tmp/default-xen-kernel \;
Yep, this would be than simply assuming a location.
also in general the test suite makes an excessive use of /tmp in my opinion, using /var/tmp/cimtest or something similar would be ay nicer it would also avoid the regular cleanup of /tmp from wiping out the data installed for the previous runs.
Agreed. Deepti and I talked about this awhile back - it's something we both agreed this a change that we need to make. -- Kaitlin Rupert IBM Linux Technology Center kaitlin@linux.vnet.ibm.com
