CentOS 7 support? about walinuxagent

[deltaman]

Hi,

I am trying to install the agent within CentOS 7, steps that I took:
mkdir /install
yum install git
git clone https://github.com/Azure/WALinuxAgent walinuxagent
cd walinuxagent
cp waagent /usr/sbin
cd /usr/sbin
waagent -install
gave me an error about network-manager, I removed it.
waagent -install
gave me an error about python-pyasn1, I installed it via yum.
waagent -install
gave me an error about route being missing, I am unable to install this because it can not be found by yum.

What now?

Regards,
Hugo

It looks like that the route command is deprecated and the new one to use is:
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/7/html/Networking_Guide/sec-Using_the_Command_Line_Interface.html#sec-Static-Routes_and_the_Default_Gateway

Or a other way that I do not know at this time ;)

Does this mean that the WaLinuxAgent scripts need to be modified for CentOS 7?

Hi Hugo,

Please install the "net-tools" package. Not sure why it's not installed by default, we should make a note in the readme:

yum install net-tools

Some day we may need to fix the agent to use the ip-route tools exclusively. I think this is an example of ensuring the agent works in as many distros as possible.

Also note that we are working to get an official CentOS7 image in the Azure Gallery soon as well.

Thanks,
Steve
