XenServer 7 has launched!

Our cluster was scheduled to be up and running yesterday, but I've heard no news on it yet. So sadly have not been able to look into doing any testing, yet.

Right now I can't get HA-Lizard installed because I can't download the drbd packages. I've been messing with all the *.repo files, but no joy so far.

scottalanmiller

Same repo error as above?

Kelly

Poking at it some more and it looks like there is something sideways about the $releasever variable in the /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS.* The resulting URL is http://mirror.centos.org/centos/7-2.1511.el7.centos.2.10/os/x86_64/repodata/repomd.xml.

The one that I get manually navigating is: http://mirror.centos.org/centos/7.2.1511/os/x86_64/repodata/repomd.xml

That's what I have been thinking. Autodetecting repos are very fragile and I see them fail all of the time. Put in a static, direct link and I bet it will work just fine.

Kelly

I replaced the references in CentOS-Base.repo with 7.2.1511 and that took away some of the errors, but it still failed. Looks like I'll need to update the other *.repo files unless there is a way to change what is going into the $releasever variable.

What does this show...

cat /etc/redhat-release

XenServer release 7.0.0-125380c (xenenterprise)

I get the same output from /etc/centos-release which is what the distroverpkg variable in yum.conf references.

scottalanmiller

Yup, there is the issue. The repos don't like that different name than what they handle.

Kelly

Well, altering the distroverpkg to distroverpkg=7.2.1511 isn't fixing anything. Now $releasever is not expanding.

Try this instead: centos-release

That is what is in working CentOS 7 variable for that.

It said that? Where did it give that error?

Kelly

-bash: centos-release: command not found

You dont' run it as a command, you put it into the variable that you mentioned

Oh, ok. centos-release is the normal entry in yum.conf. It does return the same value as redhat-release though, but both of them are different from the value used in the $releasever. I'm a little confused at the moment.

scottalanmiller

I'm just saying what is a working variable on my server

CentOS, because XS7 doesn't work.
