During soup the grid is mid-salt-upgrade. Only assign the UEK8 kernel
repo once the node's grains.saltversion matches salt.minion.version from
minion.defaults.yaml, so the kernel repo and the update it enables don't
activate until the node is fully on the target salt.
When the kernel repo is assigned but /nsm/kernelrepo isn't populated
yet, its missing repomd.xml makes every dnf/pkg operation fail (e.g.
pkg.held for salt during highstate). The kernel repo is supplementary,
so set skip_if_unavailable=1 in both the salt-managed client repo and
the four install-time bootstrap repo files; dnf ignores it until it is
populated instead of aborting. The main repo stays strict.
Mirror the kernel repo to full parity with the main package repo so the
grid can pull the Oracle UEK8 kernel:
- setup/so-functions: securityonion_repo() emits a [securityonionkernel]
section in every branch (mirrorlist on non-airgap, https://$MSRV/kernelrepo
for airgap/minion, file:///nsm/kernelrepo/ for manager); repo_sync_local()
and create_repo() sync and build /nsm/kernelrepo.
- manager/init.sls: create /nsm/kernelrepo and deploy mirror-kernel.txt.
- nginx/enabled.sls: serve /nsm/kernelrepo at https://<repo_host>/kernelrepo.
- repo/client/oracle.sls: add so_kernel_repo, gated by
onlyif test -e /opt/so/state/nic_names_pinned so the kernel repo is only
assigned once NICs are pinned by MAC.
- update_packages(): run so-nic-pin before the dnf update that pulls the
kernel, freezing interface names and dropping the pin marker so the kernel
isn't downgraded then re-upgraded on the first highstate.
