/nfs /etc/auto.cloner<br />
► <strong>The</strong> new line specifies that the file system mounted beneath the directory /nfs/ will be<br />
configured in the file /etc/auto.cloner. Now create the file /etc/auto.cloner, and add<br />
one line which points to the RHEL 6 install tree that is NFS-exported from the cloner:<br />
# vi auto.cloner<br />
rhel6 -ro,hard,intr 9.60.18.223:/nfs/rhel6<br />
This line specifies that beneath /nfs/ (in auto.master), when the directory rhel6/ (field 1)<br />
is accessed, the automounter will use the specified options (field 2) to mount the directory<br />
(field 3).<br />
► Create the /nfs/ directory. Restart the autofs service to pick up the new configuration.<br />
<strong>The</strong>n list the contents of the /nfs/rhel6/ directory. Even though this directory does not<br />
exist as a local file system, it is automatically mounted when referenced:<br />
# mkdir /nfs<br />
# service autofs reload<br />
Reloading maps<br />
► Show that the directory /nfs/rhel6/ is automatically mounted:<br />
# ls /nfs/rhel6<br />

8.2.2 Configuring yum <strong>for</strong> online updates<br />
You will now configure yum so it can install RPMs from the automount-ed install tree. <strong>The</strong><br />
configuration is identical to the cloner because in both instances the install tree is in the<br />
directory /nfs/rhel6/. However on the cloner this directory is local, while on the golden<br />
image (and later the clones) the directory is automount-ed. To configure yum, per<strong>for</strong>m the<br />
following steps:<br />
► You could create a file named rhel6.repo in the /etc/yum.repos.d directory again, or you<br />
could copy the same file from the cloner that you created previously. In this example scp is<br />
used to copy the file:<br />
# cd /etc/yum.repos.d<br />
# scp gpok223:/etc/yum.repos.d/rhel6.repo .<br />
