hi ling, thanks for you suggestions and i tried it. but unfortunately, it doesn't work.
here is what i did: - i add the "yum" into /install/custom/install/rh/compute-rhel-5.5-x86_64.pkglist - i add my packages into /install/custom/install/rh/compute-rhel-5.5-x86_64.otherpkgs.pkglist - i re-provision the compute node and found that the "yum" has been installed. [root@comp01 ~]# rpm -qa | grep yum yum-3.2.22-26.el5 yum-updatesd-0.9-2.el5 yum-rhn-plugin-0.5.4-15.el5 yum-security-1.1.16-13.el5 yum-metadata-parser-1.1.2-3.el5 - and i found that my packages not installed. - i run "updatenode comp01 -S" to update the node, but looks like otherpkgs script still use "rpm" to install the packages. [root@xcatm ~]# updatenode comp01 -S Performing software maintenance operations. This could take a while. comp01: Running postscript: ospkgs comp01: Running postscript: otherpkgs comp01: NFSSERVER=192.168.10.1 comp01: OTHERPKGDIR=192.168.10.1/post/otherpkgs/rhels5.5/x86_64 comp01: yum -y upgrade comp01: Loaded plugins: rhnplugin, security comp01: This system is not registered with RHN. comp01: RHN support will be disabled. comp01: Skipping security plugin, no data comp01: Setting up Upgrade Process comp01: No Packages marked for Update comp01: rpm -Uvh --replacepkgs XXX* comp01: error: Failed dependencies: ... my compute node is diskfull. did i miss any steps? thanks, On Tue, Dec 20, 2011 at 9:38 PM, Ling Gao <[email protected]> wrote: > I assume you have followed the instructions and created .otherpkgs.pkglist > file. > For stateless/statelite nodes, you need to run genimage/packiage/nodeset > again.
