Is it supported to modify the rhel_install_from_repo.yml file in the StorageGRID-Webscale-11.x.0-RPM-xx.zip?
Applies to
- StorageGRID 11.60 or later
- Bare-metal
- RHEL 8 or later
- Download and extract the StorageGRID installation files
- Install StorageGRID host services
Answer
- Yes, it is supported to update/customize
rhel_install_from_repo.yml
. - In fact, NetApp expects customers to customize the
yml
file as needed for their environment as stated in theREADME
file (e.g.StorageGRID-Webscale-11.6.0-RPM-20220210.0232.8d56cfe.zip\StorageGRID-Webscale-11.6.0\rpms\extras\ansible\README
) - Use case: Change
yum
todnf
because the default package manager for RHEL 8 or later has changed fromyum
todnf
.
