Install your nodes the way you normally would. Once the MLNX OFED repo is
created on the compute nodes with higher priority, any future invocation of
dnf should prioritize the package versions
in the mlnx-ofed repo over the OS repositories.
Note: this same principle can be generalized to other situations where
packages in different repositories are in conflict with each other.
I hope this helps,
Nate

Hi guys still on this matter. As today MLNX OFED is becoming a pain to maintain with xCAT since perftest from OS needs libefa.so.1 which is unavailable with MLNX OFED. If we have an Stateless image, we cannot run updatenode -S to deploy packages since dnf will be in a broken state due to perftest requirements. A solution would be to blacklist perftest from the OS, which is basically the same question in this thread, to solve the issue. So if there’s no way to version lock, is there at least a way to blacklist them?

Re: [xcat-user] Versionlock a given package in stateless compute
Vinícius, The typical method of controlling the package versions that get installed is by carefully constructing the pkgdir and otherpkgdir directories so that only the package versions you want to be installed will be found whenever dnf runs. I'm curious if the problem you are experiencing is due to the updated redhat-release package being found in one of the repositories you have created in your pkgdir/otherpkgdir or if it is being found in some other repository. Is rhels8.5.0-x86_64-2 a repo you intentionally created or is it being picked up unintentionally?
