Adding RHEL for HPC Compute Node 7.1 x86-64 support for Platform Cluster Manager 4.2.1.
Fix 393052 can be downloaded from IBM Fix Central at http://www.ibm.com/support/fixcentral.
Fix 393052 affects the following versions of Platform Cluster Manager:
4.2.1.
Platform
Cluster Manager 4.2.1 must be installed on management node.
Applying this fix involves the following steps:
5.1 Download the "pcm-4.2.1-build393052" fix
package from IBM Fix Central.
5.2 Upload the fix tar file to the Platform Cluster Manager management
node.
5.3 On the Platform Cluster Manager management node,
extract the fix tar file.
# mkdir
-p /opt/pcm/pcm_4.2.1_build393052
# tar -zxvf
pcm_4.2.1_393052_fix.tar.gz -C /opt/pcm/pcm_4.2.1_build393052
5.4 Install the fix.
Create a backup of the files affected by this fix.
# mkdir
-p /opt/pcm/pcm_4.2.1_build393052/backup
# cp /opt/xcat/lib/perl/xCAT/data/discinfo.pm /opt/pcm/pcm_4.2.1_build393052/backup/discinfo.pm.orig
# pg_dump -U xcatadm -t kitrepo xcatdb > /opt/pcm/pcm_4.2.1_build393052/backup/kitrepo_backup.sql
Then, run the following commands to replace these files and update kitrepo table.
# cp /opt/pcm/pcm_4.2.1_build393052/discinfo.pm
/opt/xcat/lib/perl/xCAT/data
# cp /opt/xcat/share/xcat/install/rh/compute.rhels7.tmpl
/opt/xcat/share/xcat/install/rh/compute.rhelhpc7.tmpl
# cp
/opt/pcm/pcm_4.2.1_build393052/imageprofile-rhelhpc7-x86_64-hpc.tmpl /opt/pcm/etc/template/imageprofile
# cp /opt/pcm/pcm_4.2.1_build393052/imageprofile-rhelhpc7-x86_64.tmpl
/opt/pcm/etc/template/imageprofile
# cp /opt/pcm/pcm_4.2.1_build393052/rhelhpc7.x86_64.stateful.pkglist
/opt/pcm/etc/template/imageprofile
# cp /opt/pcm/pcm_4.2.1_build393052/rhelhpc7.x86_64.stateless.pkglist
/opt/pcm/etc/template/imageprofile
# psql -U xcatadm -d xcatdb -c "update kitrepo
set compat_osbasenames = 'centos,rhelhpc'
where kitreponame = 'kit-pcm-4.2.1-rhels-7-x86_64'
"
5.5 If high availability is enabled, run the following command on the standby management node. Otherwise, omit this step.
# cp /opt/pcm/pcm_4.2.1_build393052/discinfo.pm
/opt/xcat/lib/perl/xCAT/data
# cp /opt/xcat/share/xcat/install/rh/compute.rhels7.tmpl
/opt/xcat/share/xcat/install/rh/compute.rhelhpc7.tmpl
5.6 Add the RHEL for HPC Compute Node 7.1 operating system to Platform Cluster Manager as an OS distribution, see Adding an OS distribution. Next, use the image profile created for this OS distribution to provision nodes, see Adding compute nodes.

Fix 393052 would not support VNC console feature, because RHEL for HPC Compute Node 7.1 does not provide tigervnc-server package.
