Ben Nemec e23274921d Update rhel7 element readme Evidently the readme file hasn't been updated since rhel7 finished beta, so this is long overdue. In addition, since it's not possible to download the base image file directly, let's stop pretending we can and bail out if the user didn't set the necessary env vars. Also updated the README to use the new table format instead of free text Co-Authored-By: Augustina Ragwitz <aragwitz+lp@pobox.com> Change-Id: Ie8343ee2ce1715583c28de7f59daed7e58c8ca0f		2015-10-12 15:31:09 -05:00

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.
