ReferencePlatforms/OPSI Server
This procedure will recreate the OPSI server based on the OPSI Virtual Appliance version 3.3. This document assumes you already have a virtual appliance based VM running.

Create the cltbld user
useradd -m cltbld passwd cltbld # and get the cltbld keys su - cltbld mkdir .ssh && cd .ssh scp cltbld@some-machine-with-the-keys:.ssh/id_dsa* .
Install some software
apt-get install cvs python-dev rsync gcc lib6-dev wget http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/release/mercurial-1.1.2.tar.gz tar -zxvf mercurial-1.1.2.tar.gz cd mercurial-1.1.2 python setup.py build python setup.py install
Install the default packages
First checkout the packages from the mofo repo:
cvs -d:ext:cltbld@cvs.mozilla.org:/mofo co -d opsi-packages ref-platforms/opsi/default-packages
Then, as root, use opsi-package-manager to install them:
su - cd ~cltbld/opsi-packages opsi-package-manager -i *.opsi cd ~cltbld
Set the pcpatch password
As root,
opsi-admin -d task setPcpatchPassword
Install the opsi client prep script
As root,
cd /opt/pcbin/install/preloginloader wget --no-check-certificate -Oopsi-prep.vbs https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=370849
Checkout opsi-binaries, opsi-package-sources
As cltbld,
cd ~ hg clone http://hg.mozilla.org/build/opsi-package-sources cvs -d:ext:cltbld@cvs.mozilla.org:/mofo co -d opsi-binaries opsi-binaries cd opsi-package-sources ./sync-binaries
Disable the DHCP Server
OPSI is setup to run a DHCP server by default, but we don't want it. Disable it by doing the following:
update-rc.d -f dhcp3-server remove /etc/init.d/dhcp3-server stop
And open up /etc/opsi/backendManager.d/30_vars.conf and remove the reference to BACKEND_DHCPD. Then restart the OPSI daemon:
/etc/init.d/opsiconfd restart
Upgrade to OPSI 3.4
- In /etc/apt/sources.list change this line: 'deb http://download.uib.de/debian etch opsi3.3' to 'deb http://download.uib.de/debian lenny opsi3.4'. Do NOT change any other lines to 'lenny'.
- Run the following commands (you will have to confirm your actions for some of them):
# upgrade the debian packages aptitude update aptitude upgrade aptitude install opsi-depotserver opsi-utils opsi-configed python-opsi opsiconfd # and the opsi packages wget http://download.uib.de/opsi3.4/produkte/essential/opsi-adminutils_3.4-5.opsi wget http://download.uib.de/opsi3.4/produkte/essential/opsi-adminutils_3.4-5.opsi.md5 wget http://download.uib.de/opsi3.4/produkte/essential/opsi-winst_4.8.8.1-2.opsi wget http://download.uib.de/opsi3.4/produkte/essential/opsi-winst_4.8.8.1-2.opsi.md5 wget http://download.uib.de/opsi3.4/produkte/essential/preloginloader_3.4-27.opsi wget http://download.uib.de/opsi3.4/produkte/essentia/preloginloader_3.4-27.opsi.md5 opsi-package-manager -i opsi-adminutils_3.4-5.opsi opsi-winst_4.8.8.1-2.opsi preloginloader_3.4-27.opsi
- Drop the modules file into /etc/opsi (currently located at staging-opsi.build:/etc/opsi/modules)
- Edit /etc/opsi/backendManager.d/21_mysql.conf and set 'load' to 'False'.
- Edit /etc/opsi/backendManager.d/30_vars.conf and set self.clientManagingBackend to '[ BACKEND_FILE31 ]' and remove the 'self.licenseBackend' line.
- Restart opsiconfd:
/etc/init.d/opsiconfd restart
Prep OPSI server for Win7
- Make sure all of the OPSI debian packages are upgraded to the latest version (3.4) per the steps above.
- ensure that the /etc/opsi/modules file is installed for win7 support
Next you will want to update the following products to their 'testing' versions. I will use the version numbers I have tested against, but note that this tree is very dynamic so they may change by the time you download them:
wget http://download.uib.de/opsi3.4/testing/opsi-template-with-admin_1.0-2.opsi wget http://download.uib.de/opsi3.4/testing/opsi-template-with-admin_1.0-2.opsi.md5 wget http://download.uib.de/opsi3.4/testing/opsi-template_1.0-18.opsi wget http://download.uib.de/opsi3.4/testing/opsi-template_1.0-18.opsi.md5 wget http://download.uib.de/opsi3.4/testing/opsi-winst_4.9.3.5-1.opsi wget http://download.uib.de/opsi3.4/testing/opsi-winst_4.9.3.5-1.opsi.md5 wget http://download.uib.de/opsi3.4/testing/preloginloader_3.4-39.opsi wget http://download.uib.de/opsi3.4/testing/preloginloader_3.4-39.opsi.md5 wget http://download.uib.de/opsi3.4/testing/win7_3.4-1.opsi wget http://download.uib.de/opsi3.4/testing/win7_3.4-1.opsi.md5 wget http://download.uib.de/opsi3.4/testing/win2k_3.4-1.opsi wget http://download.uib.de/opsi3.4/testing/win2k_3.4-1.opsi.md5 opsi-package-manager -i opsi-template-with-admin_1.0-2.opsi opsi-template_1.0-18.opsi opsi-winst_4.9.3.5-1.opsi preloginloader_3.4-39.opsi win7_3.4-1.opsi win2k_3.4-1.opsi
Below are the package versions for a known-good case of an OPSI server and Win7 clients:
opsi-atftpd 0.7.dfsg-1.4 opsi-configed 1.4.05-2 opsi-depotserver 3.4-1 opsi-linux-bootimage 20090911-1 opsi-utils 3.4-1 opsiconfd 2.0.0.19-5 opsipxeconfd 0.3.8-1 python-opsi 3.4.0.2-2
