(3.13.1) Build Image Fails on Rocky 9

[himani2411]

The issue

Building a custom image with pcluster build-image fails on Rocky 9, because ParallelCluster pins kernel-abi-stablelists and kernel-devel to the wrong version if the packages are not installed in the parent image. This issue is surfaced in CloudWatch log /aws/imagebuilder/<image-name>:

Problem 1: package efa-2.15.0-1.el9.x86_64 from @commandline requires kernel-abi-stablelists, but none of the providers can be installed'

Affected ParallelCluster versions, OSes

• ParallelCluster version 3.13.1
• Rocky 9 <= 9.5
• Clusters using already built custom images or PCluster official images are not affected

Mitigation

Please see the mitigation mentioned here

Thanks @himani2411

It could be user error since this is my first attempt building a Rocky Linux 9.5 custom image, but mine was failing even with the mitigation.

The ApplyBuildComponents was failing on the this line.

aws-parallelcluster/cli/src/pcluster/resources/imagebuilder/parallelcluster.yaml

Line 231 in 49ce8e0

echo "yes" > /opt/parallelcluster/pin_releasesever

Creating the dir in the parent AMI fixed my issue.

sudo mkdir /opt/parallelcluster
