tk2022 -- Rebuild kb2018 using debian bookworm.

The process for installing debian on the old dl380 is about the same as the dell excep that its bios and not uefi and the disks have to be set up by the controller. (flesh this in a bit)

Prep

For reference see Build notes for guthrie

back up all containers to /tank
convert all lxd containers to incus with lxd-to-incus
migrate all incus containers to temporary server

Rebuild

Partition the disk

parted /dev/sdg
GNU Parted 3.6
Using /dev/sdg
...mkpart until you get the stuff below....
(parted) print
Model: HP LOGICAL VOLUME (scsi)
Disk /dev/sdg: 1024GB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: gpt
Disk Flags: pmbr_boot

Create the root filesystem. You can save yourself some time by copying down the UUID for later.

mkfs.ext4 -j /dev/sdg2
mount /dev/sdg2 /mnt/tktest/

apt install debootstrap

### Debootstrap with proxy.

```sh
export http_proxy=http://192.168.31.2:3128/
debootstrap --arch amd64 bookworm /mnt/debinst http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian

Grab a few things from the old server.

mkdir /mnt/tktest
mount /dev/sdj /mnt/tktest
incus admin init --dump>/mnt/tktest/root/incusinit.yml
cp -rpv /etc/ssh /mnt/tktest/etc/
cp -rpv /root/.ssh /mnt/tktest/root/

Mount chroot environment.

mount -t sysfs /proc /mnt/tktest/proc
mount -t sysfs /sys /mnt/tktest/sys
mount --bind /dev /mnt/tktest/dev
mount --bind /dev/pts /mnt/tktest/dev/pts
LANG=C.UTF-8 chroot /mnt/tktest /bin/bash

Alternate way to mount

mkdir /mnt/tktest
mount /dev/sdj /mnt/tktest
mount --make-rslave --rbind /proc /mnt/tktest/proc
mount --make-rslave --rbind /sys /mnt/tktest/sys
mount --make-rslave --rbind /dev /mnt/tktest/dev
mount --make-rslave --rbind /dev/pts /mnt/tktest/dev/pts
LANG=C.UTF-8 chroot /mnt/tktest /bin/bash

Set up the fstab.

We want to use the uuid for the mounts. The hp raid controller shuffles the /dev/sdx quite a bit.

blkid|grep sdb|sed 's/^/# /' >>/etc/fstab
nano /etc/fstab

Install stuff you will want installed.

apt install openssh-server
apt install ca-certificates
apt install curl
apt install gpg
apt install sudo
apt install parted
apt install htop
apt install git

Make devices

TKTEST/# apt install makedev
cd /dev
MAKEDEV generic

Set up time

There should be a way to preseed the time zone.

cat> /etc/adjtime<<EOD

dpkg-reconfigure tzdata

Set up networking

Make sure you install bridge-utils otherwise the bridges wont come up.

apt install bridge-utils

Set up resolution.

This is kind of silly since you need to proxy to get anywhere and the proxies do dns. However we do want resolution for the admin land so we add sitka and naomis internal address.

cat >/etc/resolv.conf<<EOD
192.168.31.2             # sitka (dnsmasq)

Install the gigabyte nic drivers.

A linux box without network is secure but useless.

apt update
apt install firmware-bnx2

Update grub

Since the hp is bios based we install grub-pc rather than an efi based solution.

apt install grub-pc
nano /etc/default/grub
GRUB_TERMINAL=console serial
GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=text
GRUB_DEFAULT=0
GRUB_TIMEOUT=5
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian`
GRUB_SERIAL_COMMAND="serial --speed=115200"
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian`
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="console=tty1 console=ttyS1,115200n8 ipv6.disable=1 iommu=pt"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="console=tty1 console=ttyS1,115200n8 ipv6.disable=1 iommu=pt"
GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=false
grub-install /dev/sdj
update-grub2

Add update script.

nano /usr/local/bin/update.sh
#!/bin/bash

Using ssacli to set the primary boot disk.

=> set target ctrl slot=0

   "controller slot=0"

=> show config detail
... find the drive that coresponds to what you want

=> ld 10 modify bootvolume=primary
=>

To recover if the selected drive does not boot log into the ilo.

Server resetting .......

</>hpiLO-> vsp

Wait for the eternity it takes to run through the hardware and memory on the hp. Once it gets to the actual bios change to the text console.

<ESC>(
</>hpiLO-> textcons

The text console is nice because (inspite of char set differences) the function keys work. Press f8 when you get to the raid controller (after it searches for the disks)

Text console will not work until it actually gets to the bios and you can switch back to the VSP by escaping out

Migrate containers back from spare server.

Install ansible and set up bitbicket repository

Create an access key on bitbucket with write access to the SusdevAdmin/ansible repo.

Copy the key somewhere safe.

git config --global http.proxy http://192.168.31.2:3128
git clone https://x-token-auth:<Token from above>@bitbucket.org/suspectdevicesadmin/ansible.git
ls
cd ansible/

nano ansible.cfg
nano hosts
git config user.email <username provided above>@bots.bitbucket.org
