[gpfsug-discuss] upgrading cluster with toolkit: precheck fails with "'scale_nfs_url' is undefined"

[scottg at emailhosting.com]

I would think that if you export LINUX_DISTRIBUTION=REDHAT_AS_LINUX before you run the precheck, it might work

Hello,

I think I found part of the cause of the problem.

I am using scientific linux 7 so maybe its too different from RHEL7 so the following part of the ansible code doesn't find the correct version

        - name: upgrade | nfs path
          set_fact:
scale_nfs_url: 'ganesha_rpms/rhel7/'
          when: ansible_distribution in scale_rhel_distribution and ansible_distribution_major_version == '7'

would there be a way for the precheck command to understand that it is an os similar to rhel 7 ?

For exemple, running that `LINUX_DISTRIBUTION=REDHAT_AS_LINUX
  mmbuildgpl` worked previously for mmbuildgpl

Best regards
Paul
