Summary: xCAT not handling the yum.repos correctly

Initial Comment:
RHEL6.2
xCAT-2.7.2-snap201205230215.x86_64

/etc/yum.repos.d/rhels6.2.repo was defined at node installation time as:
[rhels6.2]
name=rhels6.2
baseurl=http://10.20.3.1//rhels6.2/x86_64
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0

However when we tried to run updatenode it returned saying it couldn't find the repository.

If we mount /install over nfs and ran updatenode, it recreated the repo file and succeeded.

/etc/yum.repos.d(0)$ cat rhels6.2.repo
[rhels6.2]
name=rhels6.2
baseurl=file:///install/rhels6.2/x86_64
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0

Linda Mellor was on the system at the time helping to debug.

Message:
Yan Song -
Jan was using the 'updatenode login -S' command to update software on a
diskfull login node that was being managed directly from the xCAT
management node. The updatenode code called the ospkgs postscript  which
created the rhels6.2.repo file.

I do not have access to the cluster to provide the other information you
requested.  Maybe Jan can help with that.

Message:
Linda,
the file /etc/yum.repos.d/rhels6.2.repo is not defined at node installation
time, as the repo defined at installation time  should be named
"local-repository.repo" by "addsiteyum" PS.

 the repo named  "rhels6.2.repo" should be created by "ospkgs", I guess
that "ospkgs" has been added as a postscript in node definition, or it has
been run by "updatenode" command sometime before. Would you pls help me to
verify this on your ENV?

thx

ranck, Linda,

I cannot recreate the defect on my env. I need some details on your
environment. 

Would you pls provide the following info if convenient?
1. the node object definition on the MN 
2. the content of  "/xcatpost/mypostscript"  on the CN when updatenode
complains invalid repository ?


thx

FYI - This was a diskfull install for a login node direct from the xCAT
management node.  There are no service nodes on this cluster.
