I have a diskless install and I would like to know how I am supposed to update
the OS packages in my OS image.
I created an offline repo of the latest RHEL OS packages using reposync. Then
I added the directory for the offline repos to pkgdir of the osimage. I
thought genimage would update the OS packages with the latest packages, but it
doesn't. Instead I copied the yum install command shown from genimage and
changed it to yum update instead. This installed updates for the OS packages
into the OS image. Is there an xcat command to do this instead?
Thanks in advance,
