Enough space should be configured to keep at least two generations of image files. This
redundancy ensures that there is a valid image available at all times.
RSYNC updates existing files, creates new files, and even deletes files that do not exist
in the original download directory on the Administration Server.
Symptoms
The error message
rsync: error writing 4 unbuffered bytes
-exiting: Broken Pipe
indicates that the Branch Server does not have enough
disk space left to download all the images. Adequate space is required for both the
staging area in
/srv/SLEPOS/
and the service area in
/srv/tftpboot
.
Hints
• Make sure that
posldap2crconfig.pl --dumpall
is executed after new
images have been distributed, especially after old images have been deleted.
• Make sure that there is enough space for new images even before old images have
been deleted, or delete old images before uploading new ones.
16.2.3 Point of Service Terminal
Configuration
The process of registering new Point of Service terminals and updating the configuration
information usually works without administrator intervention; however, it is a complex
process. To facilitate this process, you must ensure the Administration Server has a
valid image configuration at all times. In LDAP, the image versions must be entered
and made active (see Section 7.4.6, “Adding an
scPosImage
Object” (page 84) for
details), and the image files must be made available with the right filename
(
image_name-version
) and with the right permissions (world-readable).
Symptoms
The error message
No Imageversion is available
from
posleases2ldap.pl
or
posldap2crconfig.pl
means that no valid image
