Red Hat Virtualization Hypervisor installation fails with a missing YUM package group "core"
Issue
- I followed https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_virtualization/4.1/html/installation_guide/advanced_rhvh_install, but it failed with "no suitable image" error before anaconda starts.
- I modified to use
urlcommand in the kickstart file withoutliveimgcommand, and it failed with a missing YUM package group "core"
url --url=http://<web-server>/<path>
- I'm using PXE boot, not ISO boot. ISO image is not mounted on /run/install/repo when %pre section is executed.
- The following is the kickstart file using
liveimgcommand. This was created upon theks.cfgfile included in the installation ISO.
%pre --log=/tmp/pre.log
mkdir /run/install/repo/Packages
wget http://<web-server>/<path>/redhat-virtualization-host-image-update-4.1-20170417.0.el7_3.noarch.rpm -O /run/install/repo/Packages/redhat-virtualization-host-image-update-4.1-20170417.0.el7_3.noarch.rpm
