Repository Server

The repository server is lx-repos-01.psi.ch, usually accessed with the alias repos.psi.ch.

Prepare a new RHEL Version for Installation

Download the iso image on repos.psi.ch from https://id-sat-prd-02.ethz.ch/pub/isos/ and add it to the /packages/rhel[7/8]/iso directory

The service restart mounts the iso as a loop device into a directory of the same name.

Then the ipxe and grub templates of the sysdb have to be edited, to add the new version:

Once the change is committed, the changes have to be pulled on sysdb.psi.ch:

[root@sysdb ~]# cd /var/www/sysdb/app/
[root@sysdb ~]# git pull
[root@sysdb ~]# systemctl restart httpd

The changes only come live after a restart of the httpd.
