I assume you have followed the instructions and created .otherpkgs.pkglist
file.
For stateless/statelite nodes, you need to run genimage/packiage/nodeset
again. This will install the other packages into the image. Then reboot
the nodes.
For diskfull nodes, if your other packages have dependencies and you want
them to be picked up automatically, then you need to install yum on the
nodes. If yum is not installed, it will use rpm command which does not
resolve dependencies.

Subject: [xcat-user] how to resolve the dependency of otherpkgs?
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,
