Newer kernels sometimes require additional InfoScale patching. Without the additional patches, InfoScale will fail to install.

Use the "patch_repo_list" keyword in your install playbook to allow InfoScale to install required patches at the same time. Then specify a repository name or a file location to where the patch RPMs are. Use a comma (,) to separate multiple patches/locations. You can mix and match repositories and file locations.

• Example using multiple file locations in install playbook:
  • - name: Install InfoScale
        veritas_infoscale:
         module: yum
         repository_name: '{{ repository_name }}'
         repository_baseurl: '{{ repository_baseurl }}'
         patch_repo_list: ["file:///install/7.4.2.1100/rpms/","file:///install/7.4.2.1800/rpms/"]

• Example using single repository in install playbook:
  • - name: Install InfoScale
        veritas_infoscale:
         module: yum
         repository_name: '{{ repository_name }}'
         repository_baseurl: '{{ repository_baseurl }}'
         patch_repo_list: ["infoscale_patch_repo"]

• Example using both repo and file locations in install playbook:
  • - name: Install InfoScale
        veritas_infoscale:
         module: yum
         repository_name: '{{ repository_name }}'
         repository_baseurl: '{{ repository_baseurl }}'
         patch_repo_list: ["infoscale_patch_repo","file:///install/7.4.2.1100/rpms/","file:///install/7.4.2.1800/rpms/"]
