Hi,

Is there a prepackaged drone image for 1.0 for eve-ng?

Grahame,

Apologise for replying late.

The Ostinato Super Bundle includes a Virtual Appliance image. Although I haven't tried it specifically with EVE-NG, it is expected to work.

I converted the 1.0 vmdk to qcow2 and added it to EVE-NG, with the same template parameters as the 0.8.0 drone. I get the GRUB prompt and then select drone to boot, but after "/boot/vmlinuz" and "/boot/core.gz", the screen just goes blank and never does anything after that.

Chris,

Unfortunately, my EVE-NG installation is down at the moment - I'll try to fix it and bring it up over the weekend.

Meanwhile -

 

Does pressing enter a couple of times on the screen post the GRUB selection bring up something?

What if you select the Ostinato+Drone option in GRUB - what does that bring up?

Chris,

I was able to get my EVE-NG up and get the Ostinato 1.0 VMDK working.

Here are the detailed steps -

1. Convert the .vmdk to .qcow2 using qemu-img -

qemu-img convert -f vmdk -O qcow2 ostinato-virtual-1.0.vmdk hda.qcow2

2. Run qemu info and qemu check to make sure no errors -

qemu info hda.qcow2

qemu check hda.qcow2

3. On the EVE-NG VM (or bare install), create the following directory -

mkdir /opt/unetlab/addons/qemu/ostinato-drone-1.0

4. Transfer the hda.qcow2 to the EVE-NG VM inside that directory

scp hda.qcow2 root@<eve-ng-vm-ip>:/opt/unetlab/addons/qemu/ostinato-drone-1.0

5. On the EVE web ui, create a lab and add a Ostinato node to it. Edit the node template and make following changes -

* Change the image to ostinato-drone-1.0

* Change the console from telnet to vnc

6. Start the Ostinato node and note down the VNC address that appears at the bottom of the screen when hovering the mouse over the Ostinato node 

7. Use VNC Viewer to access the display of the Ostinato VM using the VNC address

8. Select Agent (drone) only mode in GRUB menu

9. Once you get the prompt, run "ifconfig" to get the IP address of eth0 - this is the mgmt port IP address

10. Use the Ostinato GUI to add a port group with the mgmt port IP address

11. In case the port group does not connect (i.e. it does not turn green), make sure the drone process is running on the Ostinato-Drone VM. If not, run it and retry connecting from the GUI

Let me know if the above works for you.

In both cases (selecting either Agent+controller, or Agent Only), the screen clears and goes black after "/boot/core.gz..ok". Hitting enter (or ctrl+z or ctrl+c) any number of times doesn't seem to bring anything up either. 

Outside of EVE, I can boot the same qcow2 file that was converted from the Ostinato 1.0 vmdk just fine with "qemu-system-x86_64 -hda hda.qcow2 -serial mon:stdio -vga std". 

Regards,

Chris

Chris,

If you want to change the GRUB default from Ostinato+Drone to Drone only, checkout the instructions at  https://srivatsp.com/ostinato/ostinato-virtual-change-default-boot/

Interesting!--I had previously performed the steps you posted, except I was using the HTML5 interface and guacamole. By connecting via VNC during the GRUB boot, I was able to proceed just fine.

Thank you!

Chris
