|
|
I<packimage [-h| --help]>
|
|
|
|
I<packimage [-v| --version]>
|
|
|

|
=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
Packs the stateless image from the chroot file system into a file system to be
|
|
sent to the node for a diskless install.
|
|
The install dir is setup by using "installdir" attribute set in the site table.
|
|
The nodetype table "profile" attribute for the node should reflect the profile of the install image.
|
|
|
|
If no I<imagename> is specified, this command uses the os image definition files from /install/custom/netboot/[os] directory first. If not found, it falls back to the default directory /opt/xcat/share/xcat/netboot/[os].
|
|
If a I<imagename> is specified, this command will get all the necessary os image definition files from the I<osimage> and I<linuximage> tables.
|
|
|
|
=head1 Parameters
|
|
|
|
I<imagename> specifies the name of a os image definition to be used. The specification for the image is storted in the I<osimage> table and I<linuximage> table.

=head1 EXAMPLES
|
|
|
|
1. To pack a fedora8 image for a compute node architecture x86_64 and place it in the /install/netboot/fedora8/x86_64/compute/rootimg.gz file enter:
|
|
|
|
I<packimage -o fedora8 -p compute -a x86_64>
|
|
|
|
This would use the package information from the /install/custom/netboot/fedora/compute* files first. If not found it uses /opt/xcat/share/xcat/netboot/fedora/compute* files.
