Repo port not getting properly passed to RHEL 5 nodes

[Alex Scoble]

I figured I should just start a new thread on this one.

We have run in to a problem provisioning RHEL 5 boxes where the Razor Server port is not getting passed to the client nodes properly at install.

Client nodes are getting the URL without any port and are hanging at "Error: Unable to retrieve http://yaddaip//svc/repo/base-centos5//images/stage2.img."

What should we look for to help troubleshoot this problem.

It's happening with VMWare ESXi vms and Cisco UCS bare metal.

Thanks,

Alex

Hi Alex,

I think this is a bug with RHEL 5 (not a razor issue). I used a workaround for this by running an Apache httpd instance on the razor server that listens on port 80 and simply serves the same content!

If you have a different solution I would be happy to know about it.

regards,

Mark
