hi all, I'm new to xcat. I've set up the xcat management node and successfully provisioned one compute node.
the issue I encounter is "install other packages on compute node." I followed this link http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/xcat/index.php?title=Install_Additional_Packages to setup the other package repository and this link http://xcat.sourceforge.net/man1/updatenode.1.html to update the compute node. but unfortunately, updatenode command failed due to missing dependency of my packages. I'm sure that all my packages are in the "other package" repository (/install/post/otherpkgs/rhels5.5/x86_64). and all the dependency packages can be found in distribution repository. i quickly go through the "otherpkgs" script and find that it use "rpm -Uvh" to install the packages I specified in /install/custom/install/rh/compute-rhel-5.5-x86_64.otherpkgs.pkglist. and looks like before installation, otherpkgs will use wget to download the rpms. i think this cause the problem. i also find that this "yum" in this script. so my question is: 1. how can i make yum to install my packages? i think yum can resolve the dependency problem. 2. otherwise, is it possible that I add my packages into the distribution repository which is created by copyids. and specify my packages in the profile.pkglist file. any suggestions will be greatly appreciated! thanks, ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Write once.
