This command will is currently supported for AIX osimages only.
This command is currently supported for AIX osimages only.
Use this command to verify if the lpp_source directories contain all the
software that is specified in the "installp_bundle" and "otherpkgs"
Use this command to verify if the NIM lpp_source directories contain the
correct software. The lpp_source directory must contain all the software
that is specified in the "installp_bundle" and "otherpkgs"
attributes of the osimage definition.
This command should be run before using the osimage to install any
AIX cluster nodes.
The command gets the name of the lpp_source resource from the xCAT osimage
definition and the location of the lpp_source directory from the NIM resource
definition.
In addition to checking for missing software the chkosimage command will
also check to see if there are multiple matches. This could happen
when you use wildcards in the software file names. For example, if you
have perl-xCAT* in a bundle file it could match multiple versions of the xCAT
rpm package saved in your lpp_source directory.
If this happens you must remove the unwanted versions of the rpms. If the
extra rpms are not removed you will get install errors.
To help with this process you can use the "-c|--clean" option. This
option will keep the rpm package with the most recent timestamp and
remove the others.
The chkosimage command should always be used to verify the lpp_source content
before using the osimage to install any AIX cluster nodes.
