=head1 NAME
|
|
|
|
B<chkosimage> - Use this xCAT command to check an xCAT osimage.
|
|
|
|
=head1 SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
B<chkosimage [-h | --help ]>
|
|
|
|
B<chkosimage [-V] [-c|--clean] osimage_name>
|
|
|
|
=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
This command is currently supported for AIX osimages only.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
It will check for installp, rpm and emgr type packages.
|
|
|
|
Note: Remember to use the prefixes, "I:", "R:", and "E:", respectively,
|
|
when specifying package names in an installp_bundle file or an otherpkgs list.
|
|
|
|
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.
