I am investigating using Studio to automate some build work. I'd like to use a pre-built ISO image which has its own kickstart file etc. (with an OS image AND some application files) to create appliances.
How can I adapt this to work? I am getting this failure when I try to use the ISO image as is:
22/11/2013 23:38:37 [dbug] The attribute "vadk:containFiles" is not defined and will default to "" |

22/11/2013 23:38:38 [error] ISO file /opt/vmware/www/ISV/ISO/fusor6-os-netinstall-2.0.43 was specified, but was not a regular file.
What file is this error contained in I looked in vabs.pl and its somewhere in there where it looks at the iso and I dug around to see where it checks this but couldn't quite get it. I could edit the checks and see if it would just install this ISO "whole".. EASIEST, FASTEST WAY and could be a really nice feature for Studio 2.7.
As an alternative, I am guessing that if I can just isolate the RPMs of the Application from the OS I can make this work.. (I have the exact OS template already set up for install.) Basically, these folks have been using this image and using vmware tools and vcenter/etc. to automate the previous builds using this iso...
Any ideas or hints on how to make this work? Files to edit?
Thank you ! |
