  Updating ISO images without restarting service
Posted by: Fico - 07-21-2023, 01:00 PM - Forum: iVentoy Discussion Forum - Replies (2)

Hello,

I installed iVentoy on Debian Bookworm and set up NFS file share from which I get .iso images.

I want to know is there any way to set that when I upload new image in my file share that it is synced to iVentoy iso folder without restarting service.

  TerabyteUnlimited Bootit Bare Metal (BIBM) and Ventoy
Posted by: click-click - 07-21-2023, 10:51 AM - Forum: Ventoy Discussion Forum - No Replies

Has  anyone that uses BIBM been able to boot a Ventoy flash USB from the BIBM boot menu? For me, Ventoy won't boot from there with a
strange message that says the boot sector does not support its location on the hard drive. For some reason BIBM doesn't like the
way the flash is created. I don't have problems with other bootable flash USBs. Thanks for any infos on this.

  iVentoy 1.0.16 instantly crashing during iPXE boot attempt (before selection)
Posted by: pkx - 07-21-2023, 12:17 AM - Forum: iVentoy Discussion Forum - Replies (3)

I want to deploy iVentoy in my labs to streamline my VM deployment and automate the installation. I've set up a completely new Ubuntu 22.04 new VM:

Code:
root@deipxe:/opt/iventoy# lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description:    Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS
Release:        22.04
Codename:      jammy

I have configured iVentoy, added a few ISOs, the webinterface is launching, configured it with `ExternalNet`, prepared the DHCP accordingly and everything seems to be pretty much working for now.

iVentoy is also running:
Code:
# ps -ax | grep -i iventoy | grep -v grep
  52829 ?        Ssl    0:01 /opt/iventoy/lib/iventoy

Then I start my VM (in a different subnet), it is then booting just fine:
[Image: 2023-07-21_01-04-02-GtXdmCQL.png]

Just after this screen finishes, the entire VM crashes on ESXi 7.0 U3:
Code:
2023-07-21T00:08:56.817Z In(05) vcpu-0 - Msg_Post: Error
2023-07-21T00:08:56.817Z In(05) vcpu-0 - [msg.efi.exception] The firmware encountered an unexpected exception. The virtual machine cannot boot.

In the iVentoy logs I can only see:
Code:

Interestingly, also iVentoy crashes:
Code:
# ps -ax | grep -i iventoy | grep -v grep
-no output-

Very odd part: I booted up like 30 times now, it worked once until the boot menu (where I can pick the ISO file):
Code:

2023/07/21 00:13:50.916 [PXE]  Client 00-50-56-af-cd-8b start PXE install in UEFI X64 mode.

Booting via SCCM has been working fine, and the 1 attempt worked - so I'd rule out ESXi as the root-cause here.

But it crashes like 99% of my attempts, reproducible. If there're any specific logs I can provide, let me know.

I'd appreciate any assistance here. Thanks!

  debian-live-12.0.0-amd64-kde.iso persistance fails
Posted by: saru4 - 07-20-2023, 10:26 AM - Forum: Ventoy Plugin Forum - Replies (4)

Hi all,
I have debian-live-12.0.0-amd64-kde.iso on a ventoy cd.
The linuxmint-21.1-cinnamon-64bit.iso works fine with persistance

BUT when I choose debian-live-12.0.0-amd64-kde.iso ventoy does go through the boot up correctly and allows me to choose debian-live-12.0.0-amd64-kde.iso with persistance. I can log into the desktop and install apps, but when I reboot, theres no persistance. ie it DOES NOT SAVE BETWEEN SESSIONS.

Here is my directory structure:
.
├── debian-live-11.7.0-amd64-kde.iso
├── debian-live-12.0.0-amd64-kde.iso
├── linuxmint-21.1-cinnamon-64bit.iso
└── ventoy
    ├── persistence_debian-live-11.7.0-amd64-kde.dat
    ├── persistence_debian-live-12.0.0-amd64-kde.dat
    ├── persist_LM-21.2-cinnamon.dat
    └── ventoy.json

1 directory, 7 files


*The persistence_debian-live-12.0.0-amd64-kde.dat is simply the  persistence_ext4_4GB_casper-rw.dat  file renamed.
* Here is my ventoy.json file:
{
    "persistence":
    [
        {
            "image": "/linuxmint-21.1-cinnamon-64bit.iso",
            "backend":"/ventoy/persist_LM-21.2-cinnamon.dat"
        },
        {
            "image": "/debian-live-12.0.0-amd64-kde.iso",
            "backend":"/ventoy/persistence_debian-live-12.0.0-amd64-kde.dat"
        },
        {
            "image": "/debian-live-11.7.0-amd64-kde.iso",
            "backend":"/ventoy/persistence_debian-live-11.7.0-amd64-kde.dat"
        }
    ]
}



Is there something I'm missing for debian 12 to make it persistant?
Why does Linuxmint 21.1 work perfectly with persistance and not debian 12?

Any help would be appreciated.

thanks
saru

Question 跨域bios启动正常,uefi启动不了
Posted by: command200 - 07-20-2023, 05:51 AM - Forum: iVentoy Discussion Forum - Replies (4)

172.20.1.76是bios启动,172.20.1.82是uefi启动,172.16.3.100是iventoy服务器
有2个dncp池,172.20.1.0/24,  172.16.3.0/24,172.16.3.0/24能正常uefi启动。172.20.1.0/24只能bios启动
环境esxi6.0里的虚拟机,uefi pxe启动会显示Downloading NBP file...然后很快弹会到bios启动界面
下图是爱快里所有dncp池的设置,是不是设置错了?

Exclamation 【重要】如何升级 iVentoy
Posted by: longpanda - 07-20-2023, 02:31 AM - Forum: iVentoy Discussion Forum - No Replies

注意:一定不要采取解压、然后覆盖老版本文件的形式进行升级。

要按照如下步骤升级:
1. 解压新版本
2. 把老版本的 data/config.dat 文件拷贝到新版本的 data  目录下。
3. 把老版本的 iso 目录下的 ISO 文件剪切到新版本的 iso 目录下。(同一个盘下剪切不耗时间)

这样升级之后老版本的配置都会得到保存。

Exclamation 【Important】How to update iVentoy version
Posted by: longpanda - 07-20-2023, 02:29 AM - Forum: iVentoy Discussion Forum - Replies (6)

Attention: Never upgrade in the form of decompressing and then overwriting the old version of the files.

Please use the new version as follows:
1. Decompress the new release
2. Copy   data/config.dat file from the old version to the data  directory of the new version.
3. Cut/Move all the ISO files under iso directory from the old version to the new version.

Then all the configuration in the old version will be kept.
