Chhavi Agarwal 6d69d7909d Support for Cloud Images on ppc64le for rhel7 and centos7 In order to support {CentOS,RHEL}7 for building cloud images we need to handle the differences in grub packaging from Ubuntu. We also need to populate the defualt location for cloud images for CentOS builds. Change-Id: Ie0d82ff21a42b08c4cb94b7a5635f80bfabf684e		2017-06-29 15:44:26 +10:00

rhel7

Use RHEL 7 cloud images as the baseline for built disk images.

Because RHEL 7 base images are not publicly available, it is necessary to first download the RHEL 7 cloud image from the Red Hat Customer Portal and pass the path to the resulting file to disk-image-create as the DIB_LOCAL_IMAGE environment variable.

The cloud image can be found at (login required): https://access.redhat.com/downloads/content/69/ver=/rhel---7/7.1/x86_64/product-downloads

Then before running the image build, define DIB_LOCAL_IMAGE (replace the file name with the one downloaded, if it differs from the example):

export DIB_LOCAL_IMAGE=rhel-guest-image-7.1-20150224.0.x86_64.qcow2

The downloaded file will then be used as the basis for any subsequent image builds.

For further details about building RHEL 7 images, see the rhel-common and redhat-common element README files.
