Re: [xcat-user] xcat-dep repository for SLES15

[abang]

Hi Yuan,

We are an ISP (Deutsche Telekom) and have been using xCat for many 
years. One of our vendors (IBM) recommended it once to provision nodes 
to run their software. We are very pleased with it!


Now, we support using SLES12.3 xCAT management node to provision SLE15 
diskful compute node.


I see. In the past we always tried to have a unified setup on the 
management nodes and the compute nodes. With the same OS level. But of 
course we could also stay on 12.3 for management node and provision 
SLE15 on the compute nodes if that is supported. Thank you for this 
information!


Do you know if there is a release plan for SLE15 and when it will be 
available?


Btw, I read on xcat.org that the project also provides "support 
contracts". Do you know more about that?


Best regards
Winfried

Hello Winfried,
We do not have SLES15 xcat-dep repository now.  SLES15 renamed as 
SLE15 based on its official release notes.  Now, we support using

Could you share more information about How to use xCAT on SLES and 
your organization name?
We can weigh the priority of supporting different OS based on customer 
requirements.

Thanks.

Hello,

There is no repository for SLES15 in
http://xcat.org/files/xcat/repos/yum/xcat-dep/

Did I miss something? Or doesn't SLES15 need a xcat-dep repository? Or
is it just too early?

Many thanks!

Winfried

[xcat-user] /usr/include not in diskless rootimg.gz

[Calvin Dodge]

We manage a cluster running Centos 7.2, using xCAT 2.10.  Recently,
the customer asked us to deploy a diskless node with Centos 7.5 for
testing.

We discovered a problem with this - packimage was not including
/usr/include or about 3/4 of the directories in /usr/share in the
resulting rootimg.gz.

Is this due to the combination of Centos 7.5 and xCAT 2.10?  Or some
obscure configuration issue we need to resolve?
