Hi Paul, I had some difficulties to understand the problem as you were talking of a preinstalled systemimager on an _image_, but I think you actually meant that you start th eOSCAR install on a master node with pre-installed systemimager. This situation was not foreseen, as far as I can tell. In fact we cannot guarantee that the OSCAR RPMs will allways be of the newest and latest version, such that they will update those which are already installed. A mix of OSCAR and non-OSCAR RPMs for SIS would most probably break things.
Besides, the installation seems to not try to update already installed packages. We should try to fix this in future. As a quick fix I would recommend you to run scripts/start_over before starting the install_cluster script. This should remove all OSCAR-alike RPMs from the system.
