Depending on your OS and the version of VCL, you might need to also create a new entry in the OS table. Will discuss this An example of adding a new OSid is discussed below.
In our sql statement examples we will use RedHat 5 and the image id of 25 as above rhel5-base25-v0. In the below sql statement make any changes as needed such as ownerid, in this example it is set to 1 or the admin user id.

INSERT INTO `image` (id, `name`, `prettyname`, `ownerid` |
...
, `platformid`, |
...
`OSid` |
...
, `minram`, `minprocnumber`, `minprocspeed`, `minnetwork`, |
...
`reloadtime`, `deleted` |
...
, `lastupdate`, `forcheckout`, `maxinitialtime`, |
...
`project`, `size`) VALUES ( |
...
25, ' |
...
rhel5- |
...
base25-v0', 'RHEL 5 base', |
...
1, 1, |
...
19, 1024, 1, 0, 10 |
...
, 14 |
...
, 0, NOW(), 1, 0, 'vcl', 1045); |
Panel |
---|
INSERT INTO `imagerevision` (`imageid`, `revision`, `userid`, `datecreated`, `deleted`, `production`, |
Panel |
---|
INSERT INTO `resource` (`resourcetypeid`, `subid`) VALUES (13, 25); |
Again, the xCAT template .tmpl file must match the the entry VCL database entry of image.name.
VCL image.name = rhel5-base25-v0
xCAT template file name = rhel5-base25-v0.tmpl
At this point you will be able to manage this image through the VCL interface.
Test the load, by either making a reservation for the new environment or try to reload a physical node through manage computers computer utilities. Watch the vcld.log file to view the processing and to debug any issues that may occur.
If VCL supports the OS, extending the OS table for a new OS is fairly straight forward. In this example we will use Red Hat 6.

INSERT INTO `OS` (`name`, `prettyname`, `type`, `installtype`, `sourcepath`, `moduleid`) VALUES('rhel6','RedHat Enterprise 6','linux','kickstart','rhel6',(SELECT `id` FROM `module` WHERE `name` LIKE 'os_linux')); |
