we don't use `rmosdistro`,
only need `rmdef` command, you may need to issue multiple time because
there are multiple osimage name with the same DISTRO

I'll have to take that back. After running rmosdistro, lsdef -t osimage
still lists the images. I had to also run "rmdef" (as pointed out by
Aaronhcarr and Casandra H Qiu).
So, in summary, what is the proper way to delete an old osdistro that was
created from copycds?
I was hoping there was a single command to do this, but it seems it
requires:
1. lsdef -t osimage | grep <DISTRO> | cut -d' ' -f1 | xargs -n1 rmdef -t
osimage
2. rmosdistro <DISTRO>
Please add to this list if it is missing anything.

`rmdef -t osimage imagename ` should remove the image created by the
`copycds`
what kind of error message did u see when u run `rmdef` command?

No, I didnt' try the -f flag because it didn't seem like the right
approach.
If copycds always creates an "install" image and rmdef doesn't support
removing the "install" image, then "rmosdistro" will never run without
the -f flag. That seems broken to me.
That aside, it seems like rmosdistro with the -f flag did what I
expected.

Subject: [EXTERNAL] [xcat-user] Delete old osimages
Is there a way to clean up old osimages (created from copycds)?
I tried "rmosdistro" but that fails with the message that it is
referenced by osimages.
I tried "rmimage" to remove the osimages but that fails with the
message that it will only delete certain image files.
Cheers,
