Sorry about that. We also found this problem and will have it fixed in xCAT 2.8.1 and the next update of the GPFS kit.
In the meantime, the workaround is to change the kit.conf file built in the
kit (sorry for the extra trouble this causes you). To do that:
# mkdir workdir
# cd workdir
# cp /from/where/ever/GPFS_xCATkit-3.5.0.7-x86_64-Linux.
NEED_PRODUCT_PKGS.tar.bz2 .
# tar -jxfv GPFS_xCATkit-3.5.0.7-x86_64-Linux.NEED_PRODUCT_PKGS.tar.bz2
# vi gpfs-3.5.0-7-Linux/kit.conf
## change line 126 from
## filename = gpfs.base-3.5.0-7.x86_64.rpm
## to
filename = gpfs.base-3.5.0-*.x86_64.rpm
(you can also change any other EXTERNALPKG filename that you do not have
a gpfs.xxxx-3.5.0-7.xxxx rpm for)
# mv GPFS_xCATkit-3.5.0.7-x86_64-Linux.NEED_PRODUCT_PKGS.tar.bz2
GPFS_xCATkit-3.5.0.7-x86_64-Linux.NEED_PRODUCT_PKGS.tar.bz2.broken
# tar -cjhf gpfs-3.5.0-7-Linux.NEED_PRODUCT_PKGS.tar.bz2
gpfs-3.5.0-7-Linux/*
Now, your buildkit addpkgs should work, picking up your gpfs.base-3.5.0-3
rpms and applying the 3.5.0.7 update rpms.
Let me know if you run into anymore problems. And thank you for your
patience on this. We have made quite a number of changes to buildkit and
our kit framework for xCAT 2.8.1 as we continue to gain experience with all
of this ourselves.
