There appears to be a corruption of this 4.0.1 ISO on CENGN, presumably related to the troubles over the past few days and ongoing data recovery issues.

 

As far as I can see, the correct uncorrupted ISO has the following checksums:

md5: 34db64974221d25626c1df332e1eb11b

sha256: 7ce3b928fdfc5325fccfcbf48407d9f1f0428d6e19572916a21c20270f3889eb

 

The corrupted on currently available on CENGN has:

md5: f9a791e38184db3937f052b55ecaf550

sha256: 72aed791f9cca0b612b77084fe9ac6bff006dd211ef12e85c54232af1171813a

It doesn’t matter that much. Most importantly this image is having “DOS/MBR boot sector”, which will make you avoid the original error.

 

https://opendev.org/starlingx/tools/src/branch/master/deployment/libvirt/functions.sh

 

iso_image_check() {

 

local ISOIMAGE=$1

 

if ! file ${ISOIMAGE} | grep "DOS/MBR" > /dev/null; then

 

echo "$ISOIMAGE is not an ISO type"

 

exit -1

 

fi

}

Hi,

 

I have downloaded it [1] again to my local machine as well as a remote machine and this is what I got.

Still, sha256 is different from what you got.

 

$ file bootimage.iso
bootimage.iso: DOS/MBR boot sector; partition 2 : ID=0xef, start-CHS (0x3ff,254,63), end-CHS (0x3ff,254,63), startsector 684, 17408 sectors
$ sha256sum bootimage.iso
72aed791f9cca0b612b77084fe9ac6bff006dd211ef12e85c54232af1171813a  bootimage.iso

Would you double check you download iso ?

 

Thanks.

Hi,

 

I was trying to execute setup_configuration.sh but failed with the error 'bootimage.iso is not an ISO type'.

 

I can mount it and also file command confirm it is a bootable ISO.

Appreciate if someone can help me on this.

Hi,

There was something wrong with Cengn. Now Cengn is back to work now and you can download stx.4.0 from [1].

Yes, now I have access StarlingX mirror and downloaded the bootimage.iso.

Thanks for getting the mirror up and running.

StarlingX itself integrates a CentOS (currently in 4.0, it is kernel 4.18 + CentOS 7.6 use space), so you don’t have to install a CentOS on your own.

For the installation guide, pls refer to [2].

 

I have a CentOS 7 (with SELinux enabled) running instance with listed hardware requirements under  'Prepare Host and Environment'  [1]  and I have chosen 'Virtual All-in-one Simplex Installation R4.0' option to deploy StarlingX on the CentOS instance.

I noticed that in the Ubuntu is listed as software requirements under 'Prepare Host and Environment'  [1] but I choose CentOS 7.6. I hope it won't be an issue.

 

[Out of topic question]

When I execute setup_network.sh, should I keep following entries as it is (as mentioned in [2] )  or should I change them according to my local network?

 

EXTERNAL_NETWORK=${EXTERNAL_NETWORK:-10.10.10.0/24}

EXTERNAL_IP=${EXTERNAL_IP:-10.10.10.1/24}

Hi.

 

I am new to StarlingX and trying to deploy release 4.0 on a CentOS 7.6.

I am trying to deploy all-in-one simplex deployment using [1] .

 

 

Where I can download ISO images of StarlingX?

It seems the mirror site [2] is down.

 

Is there a CentOS-based guide for StarlingX deployment?
