Yes change pkgdir in your osimage to pkgdir=/install/SL/x86_64
See if that fixes the problem
chdef -t osimage osimage SL-x86_64-install-compute
pkgdir=/install/SL/x86_64

Subject: [xcat-user] trouble converting to osimage
Perhaps I'm just not understanding the instructions? I recently upgraded
xCAT from 2.7x to 2.8.4. We use only diskful installs and Scientific
Linux. I thought I had osimage definitions set up correctly, but its
still not working. I'm testing on one node that's in both a profile named
"compute" (and also in a node group named the same.)
http://sourceforge.net/p/xcat/wiki/Convert_Non-osimage_Based_System_To_Osimage_Based_System/
Here's what's in my tables:
osimage table:
"SL-x86_64-install-compute",,"compute","linux",,"install",,,,,"Linux","SL","x86_64",,,,,,,,
nodetype table:
"node1572","SL","x86_64","compute","SL-x86_64-install-compute",,,,
"compute","SL","x86_64","compute","install",,,,
My chdef command (below) changed provmethod for node1572 in nodetype from
"install" to the osimage name ("SL-x86_64-install-compute"). The compute
profile entry in nodetype still has provmethod "install" but isn't the
more specific entry for node1572 is supposed to override that? (I don't
want to change it for the whole profile until I figure this out -
rinstalls are still working for now except we get the warning message
about deprecation of old provmethod options.)
[root@master ~]# chdef node1572 provmethod=SL-x86_64-install-compute
1 object definitions have been created or modified.
[root@master ~]# nodeset node1572 SL-x86_64-install-compute
Error: Unknown state SL-x86_64-install-compute requested
[root@master ~]#
[root@master ~]# nodeset node1572 osimage=SL-x86_64-install-compute
Error: Install image not found in /install/SL/x86_64/os
Error: Some nodes failed to set up install resources on server master,
aborting
[root@master ~]#
OK maybe this is the problem, I don't have the "os" subdir:
[root@master images]# ls /install/SL/x86_64
EFI images Packages repoview RPM-GPG-KEY-sl6
GPL isolinux repodata RPM-GPG-KEY-sl sl-release-notes-6.4.html
How can I tell xCAT to look in /install/SL/x86_64/,
not /install/SL/x86_64/os... or do I have to move the files?
This is my test node's bootparams entry which includes the install image
location, if that helps:
"node1572","xcat/SL/x86_64/compute/vmlinuz","xcat/SL/x86_64/compute/initrd.img","quiet
repo=
http://10.125.40.6:80/install/SL/x86_64 ks=
http://10.125.40.6:80/install/autoinst/node1572 ksdevice=eth0 cmdline
console=tty0 console=ttyS0,19200n8r","driverload=igb",,,,
Any help or advice appreciated, thanks for reading!
