Should this upgrade scenario from 5.0.4 to 5.0.5 work on RHEL with the playbook?

[whowutwut]

Environment:

• x86_64
• RHEL 7.7 running 7.8 kernel (-1127)
• dev branch

Is the upgrade of RPMs suppose to work if we provide a 5.0.4 and then the 5.0.5 self extracting image?

Here's what I did....

1. I'm running RHEL 7.7 but it's running the 7.8 kernel, which, i know, is not supported for 5.0.4.0. So you can just make sure it's on -1127 kernel. Running this kernel gets us set up for this issue.

2. Tried installed 5.0.4.0, and it installs the RPMs OK, but then it fails at mmbuildgpl, which is expected, as 5.0.4.0 does not supporting this kernel.

3. Brought over the 5.0.5.0 package and updated my playbook to point at this one....

# grep 5.0 playbook.yml
    - scale_version: 5.0.5.0
    - scale_install_localpkg_path: /root/install-infra/Spectrum_Scale_Data_Management-5.0.5.0-x86_64-Linux-install

4. Re-ran .... I get to the Install GPFS RPMs task , getting a rpm dependency check issue.

Looking at the pkglist, I think we need to provide the crypto and adv so they are also "upgraded", so it seems like we are not generating the pkg list fully?

The list in {{ scale_install_all_rpms }} is the following:

yum install  /usr/lpp/mmfs/5.0.5.0/gpfs_rpms/gpfs.base-5.0.5-0.x86_64.rpm \
/usr/lpp/mmfs/5.0.5.0/gpfs_rpms/gpfs.docs-5.0.5-0.noarch.rpm \
/usr/lpp/mmfs/5.0.5.0/gpfs_rpms/gpfs.msg.en_US-5.0.5-0.noarch.rpm \
/usr/lpp/mmfs/5.0.5.0/gpfs_rpms/gpfs.gskit-8.0.55-12.x86_64.rpm \
/usr/lpp/mmfs/5.0.5.0/gpfs_rpms/gpfs.compression-5.0.5-0.x86_64.rpm \
/usr/lpp/mmfs/5.0.5.0/gpfs_rpms/gpfs.gpl-5.0.5-0.noarch.rpm

Yup.... if I add those two....
