***********
DESCRIPTION
***********


The \ **addkitcomp**\  command will assign kit components to an xCAT osimage. The kit component meta rpm, package rpm and deploy parameters will be added to osimage's otherpkg.pkglist and postbootscripts will be added to osimages's postbootscripts attribute.

Note: The xCAT support for Kits is only available for Linux operating systems.

EXAMPLES

1. To assign a kit component to osimage

addkitcomp -i rhels6.2-ppc64-netboot-compute comp-test1-1.0-1-rhels-6.2-ppc64

Output is similar to:

Assigning kit component comp-test1-1.0-1-rhels-6.2-ppc64 to osimage rhels6.2-ppc64-netboot-compute
Kit components comp-test1-1.0-1-rhels-6.2-ppc64 were added to osimage rhels6.2-ppc64-netboot-compute successfully

2. To assign a kit component to osimage with its dependency.

addkitcomp -a -i rhels6.2-ppc64-netboot-compute comp-test2-1.0-1-rhels-6.2-ppc64

Output is similar to:

Assigning kit component comp-test1-1.0-1-rhels-6.0-ppc64 to osimage rhels6.2-ppc64-netboot-compute
Assigning kit component comp-test2-1.0-1-rhels-6.2-ppc64 to osimage rhels6.2-ppc64-netboot-compute
Kit components comp-test1-1.0-1-rhels-6.0-ppc64,comp-test2-1.0-1-rhels-6.2-ppc64 were added to osimage rhels6.2-ppc64-netboot-compute successfully

3. To assign a kit component to osimage with incompatable osarch, osversion or ostype.

addkitcomp -f -i rhels6.2-ppc64-netboot-compute comp-test1-1.0-1-rhels-6.2-ppc64

Output is similar to:

Assigning kit component comp-test1-1.0-1-rhels-6.2-ppc64 to osimage rhels6.2-ppc64-netboot-compute
Kit components comp-test1-1.0-1-rhels-6.2-ppc64 were added to osimage rhels6.2-ppc64-netboot-compute successfully

4. To assign a new version of kit component to osimage without upgrade.

addkitcomp -n -i rhels6.2-ppc64-netboot-compute comp-test2-1.0-1-rhels-6.2-ppc64

Output is similar to:

Assigning kit component comp-test1-1.0-1-rhels-6.0-ppc64 to osimage rhels6.2-ppc64-netboot-compute
Assigning kit component comp-test2-1.0-1-rhels-6.2-ppc64 to osimage rhels6.2-ppc64-netboot-compute
Kit components comp-test2-1.0-1-rhels-6.2-ppc64 were added to osimage rhels6.2-ppc64-netboot-compute successfully

The result will be:
lsdef -t osimage rhels6.2-ppc64-netboot-compute -i kitcomponents
Object name: rhels6.2-ppc64-netboot-compute
kitcomponents=comp-test2-1.0-0-rhels-6.2-ppc64,comp-test2-1.0-1-rhels-6.2-ppc64
