Provisioning Software

After you import an image, you can provision software by adding a working copy either on the Rapid Home Provisioning Server or on the Rapid Home Provisioning Client. You can run the software provisioning command on either the Server or the Client.

To provision software on the Rapid Home Provisioning Server:

rhpctl add workingcopy -workingcopy working_copy_name -image image_name

To create a working copy on the Rapid Home Provisioning Client:

rhpctl add workingcopy -workingcopy working_copy_name -image image_name
   -storagetype storage_type -path path_to_software_home

To create a working copy on the Rapid Home Provisioning Client from the Rapid Home Provisioning Server:

rhpctl add workingcopy -workingcopy working_copy_name -image image_name
   -path path_to_software_home -client client_cluster_name

Note:

The directory you specify in the -path parameter must be empty.
You can re-run the provisioning command in case of an interruption or failure due to system or user errors. After you fix the reported errors, re-run the command and it will resume from the point of failure.
