Actually genimage looks like it is for statelite images, which is not what I need. I in fact need to create a centos6.4-x86_64-install-service image since I do not have one (see my centos 6.4 images below). I don't have to run copycds again do I? How do I create a new osimage definition specifically with a "service" profile?
My existing Centos 6.4 images: centos6.4-x86_64-install-all (osimage) centos6.4-x86_64-install-compute (osimage) centos6.4-x86_64-install-iscsi (osimage) centos6.4-x86_64-install-kvm (osimage) centos6.4-x86_64-install-login (osimage) centos6.4-x86_64-install-storage (osimage) centos6.4-x86_64-install-xen (osimage) centos6.4-x86_64-netboot-compute (osimage) centos6.4-x86_64-netboot-kvm (osimage) centos6.4-x86_64-netboot-xen (osimage) centos6.4-x86_64-statelite-compute (osimage) centos6.4-x86_64-statelite-kvm (osimage) centos6.4-x86_64-statelite-xen (osimage) -Josh On Mon, Jan 20, 2014 at 8:22 AM, Lissa Valletta <lis...@us.ibm.com> wrote: > You should also have a diskfull service node image > centos6.4-x86_64-install-service. > Normally the service nodes are diskfull but they can be diskless. > > > Lissa K.
