I figured out what's going on - we are using the
site.precreatemypostscripts=1 option. Even though the man page on
the site table states that the mypostscript file for the node should
be updated when an updatenode is ran as all as a nodeset, this is
not happening. I have to do a nodeset on the node to have that file
updated.
There's also a gap here in that since the node utilizes it's local
/xcatpost/mypostscript for pulling in variables that the otherpkgs
script needs, specifically $OTHERPKGDIR and $OTHERPKGS1, you need to
reboot your node or manually push the new copy of this file to the
nodes for your changes to OTHERPKGDIR in the osimage to be seen by
your node. In my opinion, enhancements to updatenode need to be made
so that:
A) updatenode rewrites the mypostscript file to capture any changes
you may have made to your osimage definitions
and
B) updatenode pushes this new mypostscript file to the node so that
updatenode will be aware of any osimage definition changes.

Well, genimage seems to pick up my change just fine - it's just
updatenode that doesn't. Here's the temp yum.conf that is created
during otherpkgs time with genimage:
[otherpkgs1]
name=otherpkgs1
baseurl=file:///install/post/otherpkgs/centos5.4-new-kernel/x86_64/v5.4.8-dl-compute//.
gpgpcheck=0

name=otherpkgs2
baseurl=file:///install/post/otherpkgs/centos5.4-new-kernel/x86_64/v5.4.8-dl-compute//dell
gpgpcheck=0
We are wanting to separate out the otherpkgs based on image name.
Being able to configure otherpkgdir is a good feature that seems
to work fine during genimage time - I would highly encourage you
guys continue with this feature and push it to the otherpkgs
postscript.

Take a look at this
documentation , the otherpkgdir always ends with the
architecture directory and then the directories under that
contain the rpms. I have never seen anything different so
this may be a limitation in our code.
In other words in your case
it should be otherpkgdir=/install/post/otherpkgs/centos5.4-new-kernel/x86_64

Subject: [xcat-user] xCAT ignoring my
otherpkgdir setting
Hi all,
I am manually setting my otherpkgdir for an osimage that a
node belongs to. However when running "updatenode $node -S",
the setting is being ignored. The problem is bolded below.
Example is below, how do I get this thing to look at the right
path?
[root@master v5.4.8-dl-compute]# chdef -t osimage
