XCAT installation Kit

XCAT installation Kit

 

Generate the Kit file structure

First, use the buildkit tool to generate a Kit. For example, assume that our Kit is named helloworld.

 

buildkit create helloworld

 

helloworld/├── buildkit.conf├── docs│   └── index.html├── other_files│   └── sample│       ├── exclude.lst│       └── kitdeployparams.lst├── plugins│   └── sample│       ├── imageprofile.pm│       └── nodemgmt.pm├── scripts│   └── sample│       ├── genimage_post.sh│       ├── postboot.sh│       ├── post.sh│       ├── postun.sh│       ├── postup.sh│       ├── pre.sh│       ├── preun.sh│       └── preup.sh└── source_packages    └── sample        ├── pkg1        │   └── pkg1-1-1.noarch.rpm        ├── pkg2        │   ├── pkg2        │   │   ├── cfg        │   │   │   └── pkg2.cfg        │   │   └── files        │   │       ├── pkg2.file1        │   │       └── pkg2.file2        │   └── pkg2.spec        ├── pkg3        │   ├── pkg3.spec        │   └── pkg3.tar.gz        └── pkg4            └── pkg4-1-1.src.rpm

Modify configuration file

Edit the buildkit. conf file. This file is easy to understand, and the comments in it are also detailed. It mainly defines kit, kitrepo, kitcomponent and kitpackage.

 

compat_osbasenames=centos

Package

Use the following commands to generate a helloworld-1.0-1.tar.bz2 file in the helloworlddirectory.

 

cd ~/helloworldbuildkit buildrepo allbuildkit buildtar

Add Kit

First, you can use lskit in the xCAT environment to view the added Kit and KitComponent, such

 

lskitlskit helloworld-1.0-1lsdef -t kit -l helloworld-1.0-1lskitcomp

 

addkit helloworld-1.0-1.tar.bz2

rmkit helloworld-1.0-1

 

lsdef -t osimage

chkkitcomp -i centos6.6-x86_64-install-compute helloworld_compute-1.0-1-rh-6.6-x86_64

addkitcomp -a -i centos6.6-x86_64-install-compute helloworld_compute-1.0-1-rh-6.6-x86_64

rmkitcomp -i centos6.6-x86_64-install-compute helloworld_compute-1.0-1-rh-6.6-x86_64

Upgrade node
