CentOS 6.5 on IG racks

[A Sydney]

Hi GENI folks,                     

                      From the Jacks interface below "Disk Image", I see the option for "CentOS 6.5". However, when I attempt to reserve resources on a xen vm, I get the following error:

Unknown image URN: urn:publicid:IDN+emulab.net+image+emulab-ops:CENTOS65-64-STD-BIG2

Someone mentioned that I should check whether the image is advertised at emulab.net, but it's not. 

Questions:

1. How can I get a hold of a CentOS 6.5 image?

2. If the image is not available, why does it show up in the list of "Disk Images"?  

Thanks,

Ali

On a slightly tangential note...

A few months ago, I reserved CentOS vm. Listresources for this sliver shows the following disk_image info:

<disk_image name="urn:publicid:IDN+utahddc.geniracks.net+image+emulab-ops:CENTOS63-64-STD"/>

And I think this corresponds to the following image advertised by utahddc-ig

<disk_image name="urn:publicid:IDN+utahddc.geniracks.net+image+emulab-ops:CENTOS63-64-STD" os="Linux" url="https://www.utahddc.geniracks.net/image_metadata.php?uuid=4f4f8f3f-8507-11e3-a95c-000000000000" version="6.3" description="Emulab Standard CentOS 6.3 64-bit image." />

However, my hosts seems to believe that it's got CentOS 6.6 (and not CentOS 6.3)

[asydne01@fwfw ~]$ cat /etc/issue

CentOS release 6.6 (Final)

Kernel \r on an \m

So perhaps the CentOS 6.5 image does exist, but with a different name?

Because the list of images and other associated jacks configuration was last updated on June 3rd, the last time the portal software was updated. The image must have gone away since then. The portal software will be updated on Wednesday July 22 and a new jacks configuration will be included in that update.

Sorry about that, a bad image went out to the racks at some point, we should
delete that 6.3 image since there is a much more recent 6.6 image available.

Does anyone need the 6.3 image?

Hi Leigh,

Since nobody has spoken up about wanting a CentOS 6.3 image and the fact
that it is a bad image, can you please delete it and stop advertizing it?

I don't see a 6.6 image in the advertizement (at least in the couple of
racks I tried). So it will need to be added.

Thank you!
