[FVT] An obsolete util-linux package is installed for Ubuntu 14.04.3 on ppc64el diskless node. #71

An known issue has been added in the 2.11 release notes: https://github.com/xcat2/xcat-core/wiki/XCAT_2.11_Release_Notes |
HPC customers will use Ubuntu 14.04.3. We really should provide good xCAT support against this reversion of Ubuntu distro. |
@cxhong Could you take a quick investigation look into this since CDL is on vacation? |
@neo954 , can you document here the steps the admin suppose to run to update Ubuntu if managing without xCAT? |

@cxhong do you want to look at this? |
are we agree to add those three updating procedure to ubuntu genimage? from the code, I think we are doing: apt-get update && apt-get upgrade |

Is this something we should target for 2.11.2? |
Since xCAT 2.12 focus is ubuntu 14.04.4 and ubuntu 16.04 support. I think we need to fix this in 2.12. |
@cxhong This one should be pending right? Was included in 2.13.1... |
@neo954 Can you help verify and close out of OK . thanks |
@neo954 Please try and verify and close this out so we can close out 2.13.1... we are about to release 2.13.2 |
I will close this issue, reopen it if you are seeing this again. |
The osimage definition looked like the following. Ubuntu 14.04.3 was used on ppc64el architechture.
After the genimage was running, I found out package util-linux installed in the osimage was an old versoin came from Ubuntu remote mirror. But a newer version was shipped in the iso file. Please check the attachment for all the detail genimage output.
