[Testbed-admins] Problems swapping in experiments

["Miguel A. Erazo" <miguel.erazo@gmail.com>]

Hello,

I could add a new node into Emulab successfully and now it is not in any experiment of the emulab-ops project. Instead, now there is 1 node free in the 'Free Node Summary'. Also, I customized a new image and moved it to /usr/testbed/images.

Now, I issued:
   %wap os_load pc1 

But, the screen from where I issued this command keeps showing:

osload (pc1): still waiting; it has been 1 minute(s)
osload (pc1): still waiting; it has been 2 minute(s)
osload (pc1): still waiting; it has been 3 minute(s)
....

The node did boot after the 'os_load' but then stopped asking for me to press Ctrl-c to issue an interactive command. I then entered:
   part:2
And the node did finish booting because I see on the screen:
  Fedora Core release 6 (Zod)
  Kernel 2.6.20.6emulab on an i686
  pc1 login:

My question then is why I had to enter manually 'part:2'?, I thought this node would boot automatically all to way up to Linux.
Now, I try to swap in an experiment (guessing everythin went right) using this node in the ns file:

 'tb-set-node-os $node($i) FC6-STD'
....

But I get the error:

*** No possible mapping for node-1
       OS 'emulab-ops/FC6-STD' (OS-10013) does not run on this hardware type!
*** Node mapping precheck failed!
But the node does have FC-6 judging from the prompt and it is configured as such in the node_type_attributes table:

| type    | attrkey                 | attrvalue                   | attrtype |
| pc745 | default_imageid   | 10013 (FC6-STD)     | integer  | 
| pc745 | delay_osid            | 10013  (FC6-STD)    | integer  |

Any guess of what would be going wrong here?

Thanks,

Miguel
