Re: [HPDD-discuss] Lustre 2.4.0 kernel-src has a wrong file format on repository.

Hi Arman, The SRPM packages cannot be handled by YUM since they have a different internal format and are not intended for system installation. Instead, the “rpm” command can extract these packages and will “install” the content into an RPM build structure (by default $HOME/rpmbuild/SOURCES,SPEC}). One can then use the rpmbuild command to create binary packages (rpmbuild creates $HOME/rpmbuild/{BUILD,BUILDROOT,RPMS,SRPMS and runs through compilation based on the instructions in the spec file). For example: rpm -ivh http://downloads.whamcloud.com/public/lustre/lustre-2.4.0/el6/server/SRPM... rpmbuild -ba --with firmware $HOME/rpmbuild/SPECS/kernel.spec The binary RPM packages for the Lustre-patched kernels are here: http://downloads.whamcloud.com/public/lustre/lustre-2.4.0/el6/server/RPMS...
