The rhel7 element is deprecated and is left only for backward compatibility. The rhel element should be used instead. Users should set DIB_RELEASE to '7' to indicate which release you are using. The new element is a version-less RHEL element to handle both '7' and '8' DIB_RELEASE, which aligns with other elements which operate in the same way such as the Fedora element.

.. warning::
|
|
|
|
This element is deprecated and is left only for backward compatibility.
|
|
Use the `rhel` element instead. Note that you should set DIB_RELEASE to 7
|
|
to indicate which release you are using. Please read the notes.
|
|
|
|
Use RHEL 7 cloud images as the baseline for built disk images.
|
|
|
|
Because RHEL 7 base images are not publicly available, it is necessary to first
|
|
download the RHEL 7 cloud image from the Red Hat Customer Portal and pass the
|
|
path to the resulting file to disk-image-create as the ``DIB_LOCAL_IMAGE``
|
|
environment variable.
|
|
|
|
The cloud image can be found at (login required):
|
|
https://access.redhat.com/downloads/content/69/ver=/rhel---7/7.1/x86_64/product-downloads
|
|
|
|
Then before running the image build, define DIB_LOCAL_IMAGE (replace the file
|
|
name with the one downloaded, if it differs from the example):
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
export DIB_LOCAL_IMAGE=rhel-guest-image-7.1-20150224.0.x86_64.qcow2
|
|
|
|
The downloaded file will then be used as the basis for any subsequent image
|
|
builds.
|
|
|
|
For further details about building RHEL 7 images, see the rhel-common and
|
|
redhat-common element README files.
