Using RPM (recommended)

Support is only for RHEL 7.5 for Power LE (Power 9)

The following repositories should be configured on your Management Node (and Service Nodes).

• RHEL 7.5 OS Repository
• RHEL 7.5 Extras Repository
• RHEL 7 EPEL Repo (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL)
• Fedora28 Repo (for gevent, greenlet)

1. Configure the MN/SN to the RHEL 7.5 OS Repo

2. Configure the MN/SN to the RHEL 7.5 Extras Repo

3. Configure the MN/SN to the EPEL Repo (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL)

4. Create a local Fedora28 Repo and Configure the MN/SN to the FC28 Repo

   Here’s an example to configure the Fedora 28 repo at /install/repos/fc28

   1. Make the target repo directory on the MN:

      mkdir -p /install/repos/fc28/ppc64le/Packages
      

   2. Download the rpms from the Internet:

      cd /install/repos/fc28/ppc64le/Packages
      wget https://www.rpmfind.net/linux/fedora-secondary/development/rawhide/Everything/ppc64le/os/Packages/p/python2-gevent-1.2.2-2.fc28.ppc64le.rpm
      wget https://www.rpmfind.net/linux/fedora-secondary/development/rawhide/Everything/ppc64le/os/Packages/p/python2-greenlet-0.4.13-2.fc28.ppc64le.rpm
      

   1. Create a yum repo in that directory:

      cd /install/repos/fc28/ppc64le/
      createrepo .
      

5. Install xCAT-openbmc-py using yum:

   yum install xCAT-openbmc-py
   

   Note: The install will fail if the dependencies cannot be met.
