upgrade.img not found #9

Closed mhakala closed 7 years ago

mhakala commented 7 years ago

In the tasks/redhat.yml there is a line fetching "upgrade.img" file. Seems that currently this image file is not present on mirror site. Also, I did not find out where this image is used in the first place. In case this is not required, can those line be removed from the role. I did not write PR as I'd like to double check I got this right.

Perhaps @A1ve5 remembers?

It was added here: https://github.com/CSC-IT-Center-for-Science/ansible-role-pxe_bootstrap/commit/e51213b159bf568dab194bff278dbe21a26dd063#diff-04cf94160c612df493cc6a3b98abb528

I suspect it's not used and it was added because it was also in that pxeboot directory in the mirror.

It is not fetched during a reinstall - (it's not seen in the Apache Httpd logs).

The upgrade.img is still there under the CentOS 7.2 location in the mirror.

@mhakala: Have you already updated to the CentOS 7.3 initrd and vmlinuz files? Is reinstall still working?

martbhell commented 7 years ago

Had a chat with tiggi - It could be used if one in the kickstart specify upgrade instead of install. Think one way would be to make this optional and disabled by default to fetch this file.

Just tested - compute node reinstall does not work if repo points to CentOS7 (currently 7.3) while vmlinuz&initrd are from a 7.2. If one change the repo in the kickstart.cfg to point to 7.2.1511 then the reinstall works (and during post-actions it will yum update to 7.3).

Moved this into review. Looks fine to me and CentOS 7.3 reinstall of a compute node works after one has run pxe_bootstrap role ( updated the initrd/vmlinuz files on the install node's www root)

Not sure what to review.. this will get merged into fgci-ansible master in the next release.
