***********
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.
Packs the stateless image from the chroot file system into a file to be sent to the node for a diskless boot.
This command will get all the necessary os image definition files from the \ *osimage*\ and \ *linuximage*\ tables.
Note: For an osimage that is deployed on a cluster, running packimage will overwrite the existing rootimage file and be unavailable to the compute nodes while the command executes.
