To update the image you need to run: rpm --root /var/lib/systemimager/image/X -Uvh Y.rpm (where X is your image name and Y is the rpm file) and then probably hand edit /var/lib/systemimager/image/X/etc/systemconfig/systemconfig.conf with the correct names (it is fairly obvious). This file is run to configure the nodes after image install. (Note, you can also make changes in the override directory instead.) Note: this is all for OSCAR 2.3, but I think that the systemimager stuff in earlier OSCAR versions was similar. > Cheers, > > Bernard Frank > Julia Wang wrote: > > > Hi, All: > > > > I have an existing OSCAR cluster (Oscar 2.1 on RH 7.3).
