Re: [xcat-user] Delete old osimages

[Casandra H Q. <cx...@us...>]

`rmimage` only remove the files under `rootimgdir=` attribute for the
diskless/netboot image.

`rmdef -t osimage imagename `  should remove the image created by the
`copycds`

what kind of error message did u see when u run `rmdef` command?

No, I didnt' try the -f flag because it didn't seem like the right
approach.

If copycds always creates an "install" image and rmdef doesn't support
removing the "install" image, then "rmosdistro" will never run without the
-f flag. That seems broken to me.

That aside, it seems like rmosdistro with the -f flag did what I expected.

  Is there a way to clean up old osimages (created from copycds)?

  I tried "rmosdistro" but that fails with the message that it is
  referenced by osimages.

  I tried "rmimage" to remove the osimages but that fails with the message
  that it will only delete certain image files.

  Cheers,
