What type of hardware d6100a is? If it doesn't have IPMI enabled motherboard or
IPMI card, r* commands may not work.
By the name I would guess it's Latitude d610...
Try rebooting manually just to test xCAT/PXE.
Thanks.

Hello,
Yes, both listener.py and rootimg.gz are both located at
/install/image/x86/installer_files/
But NOWHERE on the documentation page does it mention a symlink between
x86_64 and x86.
Ok, I added the symlinks in both locations, and it did seem to accept it:
nodeset d6100a image
d6100a: image image-x86_64-rh5image-rh66-v0
Which created this file in /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6 Mar 15 11:36 0A19 - d6100a
cat d6100a
#image image-x86_64-rh5image-rh66-v0
DEFAULT xCAT
LABEL xCAT
KERNEL xcat/image/x86_64/vmlinuz
APPEND initrd=xcat/image/x86_64/initrd.img
imgurl=http://10.0.0.3//install/image/x86_64/installer_files/rootimg.gz
image=/install/image/x86_64/rh5image-rh66-v0.img blocks=512 action=save
installnic=eth0 reboot noipv6
IPAPPEND 2
I did a tabedit to add the nodetype.supportedarchs.
tabdump nodetype
#node,os,arch,profile,provmethod,supportedarchs,nodetype,comments,disable
compute,rh6.0,x86_64,compute,,,osi,,
d6100a,image,x86,rh5image-rh66-v0,image,x86,x86_64,,,
However, when I do this:
rpower d6100a reset
I get this:
d6100a: Error: timeout
So, I guess I must be missing something that tells xCAT where the machine
is, and how to reach it.

Could you please check that you have these files/folders as well?
/install/image/x86/installer_files/listener.py
/install/image/x86/installer_files/rootimg.gz
Also, can you check that there are symlinks for x86 or x86_64 in
/install/image/ and /tftpboot/xcat/image/, ie:
$ ls -l
x86
x86_64 - x86
Thanks.

Thanks Dmitri,
In following this article, I get to the bottom of the page, where I put
in
the 3 files needed for a stateless image.
I place the 3 files in the located indicated, and when I run
nodeset d6100a image
I get this:
Error: vmlinuz and initrd.img not found at /tftpboot/xcat/image/x86_64
Error: Some nodes failed to set up image resources, aborting
But vmlinuz and initrd.img are at /tftpboot/xcat/image/x86_64
Is there something else that needs to happen first ?
Also, the last step talks about NFS servers for the image store.
Are these required ?
Thanks for all your help,

Hello again,
Dimitri, thanks for the advice.
I have a question about these commands.
Below, you wrote nodeset d6100a image,
But there is no image argument for nodeset.
Here is the man page:
nodeset [-h|--help|-v|--version]
nodeset noderange
[install|shell|boot|runcmd=bmcsetup|netboot|iscsiboot|osimage=imagenam
e
|s
tatelite]
When I try the command as-is, I get this:
nodeset d6100a image
d6100a: Error: Unable to identify plugin for this command, check
relevant
tables: nodetype.os
Error: Some nodes failed to set up image resources, aborting
I have done tabdump on the various tables, and done tabedit to modify
them
to my environment.
I know this is not an xCAT list, but your guidance would be
appreciated.
Thanks,
Al Quiros

Evelio,
You should be able to capture image via xCAT before you can use
VCL/xCAT.
To capture image via xCAT:
nodech d6100a nodetype.os=image nodetype.profile=rh5image-rh66-v0
nodeset d6100a image - this will create PXEboot config file for
d6100a:
cat /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/d6100a-PXE-if-mac
#image rh5image-rh66-v0
DEFAULT xCAT
LABEL xCAT
KERNEL xcat/image/x86_64/vmlinuz
APPEND initrd=xcat/image/x86_64/initrd.img
imgurl=http://xcat-master/install/image/x86_64/installer_files/rootimg.
gz
image=/install/image/x86_64/rh5image-rh66-v0.img blocks=512
action=save installnic=eth0 reboot noipv6
IPAPPEND 2
'tabdump nodetype' should look similar to this - note that arch is
x86:
#node,os,arch,profile,provmethod,supportedarchs,nodetype,comments,disab
le
...
d6100a,image,x86,rh5image-rh66-v0,image,x86,x86_64,,,
...
Then do 'rpower d6100a reset'. This will restart d6100a and when node
boots over PXE it will boot into
http://xcat-master/install/image/x86_64/installer_files/rootimg.gz
and,
given that image works fine and maps NFS store OK, it dump hd image
to
