Re: [xcat-user] SciLinux 7.4 statelite problems

Hi Jeff,

 

Could you check your osimage definition about exlist, pkglist and postinstall?

We do not formal ship compute.SL7.pkglist, we user the same files for rhels7. so could you try to use the rhels7 related files for your osimage? 

 

Here I give you an example for osimage, you can find the right arch files under /opt/xcat/share/xcat/netboot/rh/:

]# lsdef -t osimage rhels7.4-x86_64-statelite-compute -i exlist,pkglist,postinstall
Object name: rhels7.4-x86_64-statelite-compute
    exlist=/opt/xcat/share/xcat/netboot/rh/compute.rhels7.x86_64.exlist
    pkglist=/opt/xcat/share/xcat/netboot/rh/compute.rhels7.x86_64.pkglist
    postinstall=/opt/xcat/share/xcat/netboot/rh/compute.rhels7.x86_64.postinstall

 

 

"Failing to install mlx_en", I got the same message when there is no mlx in my system.

 

 

Best Regards

Good morning all,

 

I’m still wrestling with a SciLinux 7.4 statelite deployment with xcat 2.13.11.    The dracut hooks don’t seem to be working properly, which is both making it difficult to debug and also probably symptomatic of a larger problem.   Running genimage, a few things have caught my eye.

 

The package list is looking for busybox-anaconda, which doesn’t seem to exist for SciLinux 7.  A bit of poking seems to suggest that it is deprecated, but it’s not clear to me what a suitable replacement might be.  Is there a preferred solution/workaround?

 

The dracut install also is throwing a couple of errors.  Failing to install mlx_en is, I think, benign.  I am also getting this error: “dracut-install: ERROR: installing '/etc/udev/udev.conf'”  which seems like it might be more significant, especially in light of my dracut problems.  However, I don’t know what might be causing this problem, nor how to fix it.

 

Any insight will be latched upon to with unseemly haste,
