Ok guys,

I am pulling my hair out over this one.

Im trying to convert these scripts

REM Copy Driver and HAL Information to production partition.
firm -recurse copy .\Deploy\models\t60ati\drivers prod:\Drivers
firm -recurse copy .\Deploy\models\t60ati\system32 prod:\Windows\system32
exit

REM Token Naming Script
REM ReplaceTokens .\temp\Sysprep.inf .\temp\%COMPNAME%.txt
Firm Copy f:\temp\%COMPNAME%.txt PROD:\Sysprep\Sysprep.inf

into a Linux version, which I wrote below....


export PATH=$PATH:/mnt/ds/RDeploy/Linux
#Token Naming Script
# ReplaceTokens "/mnt/ds/temp/Sysprep.inf" "/mnt/ds/temp/%COMPNAME%.txt"
Firm Copy "/mnt/ds/temp/%COMPNAME%.txt" "PROD:/Sysprep/Sysprep.inf"

export PATH=$PATH:/mnt/ds/RDeploy/Linux
#Copy Driver and HAL Information to production partition.
firm -recurse copy "/mnt/ds/Deploy/models/t60ati/drivers" "prod:/Drivers"
firm -recurse copy "/mnt/ds/Deploy/models/t60ati/system32" "prod:/Windows/system32"

Well...its not working...any help is appreciated. Keep in mind, I have ZERO experience with Linux....zero!

Thanks!

I'd start by using the explicit path instead of the $PATH method just to eliminate any extra issues. You can get rid of the export lines or comment them out. You can clean it up once it is working and use the export at that point.

/mnt/ds/RDeploy/Linux/Firm Copy

What error are you getting? Is it during Firm?

Thanks for the reply Brandon.

I tried the suggestion you mentioned and still the same error.

The error is something like CFS_Umount and it shows "Error -5" then it restarts.

Any thoughts?

We are trying to get Linux works because of the 8 character maximum in DOS

My guess is that it's bombing on your ReplaceTokens task. For some reason, I could only get it to play right if I didn't use explicit pathnames.

For example:

# ReplaceTokens ./images/Sysprep/cmh.inf ./temp/%COMPNAME%.txt

Works just fine. the ./ is simply /mnt/ds/

I couldn't get it to work right if I was keying in the full /mnt/ds/images/Sysprep/cmh.inf.


We were also having the issue where we'd get CIFS errors when the script was finished running and the machine would reboot. I recently applied the update from Altiris KB 34859 https://kb.altiris.com/article.asp?article=34859&p=1 and now the machine properly restarts after running the script. We're running DS 6.8 SP1.
