Install and update xCAT Software

To see how to install and upgrade xCAT software, we will install and update the release package and non-release package.

First, run the lsdef command to view the osimage information, such

 

lsdef -t osimage centos6.6-x86_64-install-compute...    pkgdir=/install/centos6.6/x86_64    pkglist=/opt/xcat/share/xcat/install/centos/compute.centos6.pkglist    otherpkgdir=/install/custom/centos6.6/x86_64/    otherpkglist=/install/custom/centos6.6/x86_64/mypkgs.pkglist...

 

Install and update the release package

1. to install or update the package in the release, you only need to add the package to be installed or updated to the file defined by pkglist.

Install and update non-release packages

1. Create a directory to store additional software packages, such

 

  mkdir -p /install/custom/centos6.6/x86_64/

 

 

  cp helloworld-1.0.0-1.el6.x86_64.rpm /install/custom/centos6.6/x86_64/

 

 

  cd /install/custom/centos6.6/x86_64/  createrepo .

 

 

helloworld

 

 

chdef -t osimage centos6.6-x86_64-install-compute \    otherpkgdir=/install/custom/centos6.6/x86_64/ \    otherpkglist=/install/custom/centos6.6/x86_64/mypkgs.pkglist

 

7. to update the software package, place the new rpm package in the/install/custom/centos6.6/x86_64/directory, and run the "updatenode <noderange>-S" command again.
