[xcat-user] Xcat2 and centos7 to deploy a new cluster
Hello, First excuse for my english, it's not my native langage, Ask if not understrandable :) I'm planning an install of a new cluster.(via a sub-contractor). I whish to install the new on centos7, because i'd prefer not to start with an os with 3 year of late. But sub-contactor tells he can't and whish to stay in CentOS 6 for2 reasons : 1°) Centos 7 too new, with many changes, and they have no tech knowing it, and they hear about no infiniband support problems for example... 2°) They work with xcat, and a first try they had many problems with node deploiement in centos7 (and they succeed if client nodes are centos6). Could someone guive some news about using xcat2 for manage centos7 clusters ? (i.e. is there really problems ? Are they really blocking or critical problems ?) I see that there is some issues on sourceforge repo, but many are closed. Thx for your help, David -- Download BIRT iHub F-Type - The Free Enterprise-Grade BIRT Server from Actuate!

Re: [xcat-user] Xcat2 and centos7 to deploy a new cluster
Hi David, 1) I have a POC environment where I have successfully have installed and managed a small cluster using centos7 and rhels7 using xCAT 2.8.5 2) There is support for centos7/rhels7 from Mellanox see link here http://www.mellanox.com/page/products_dyn?product_family=26mtag=linux_sw_drivers I'd agree with both sides of the argument, and it really depends on yourself on how much you are happy with new software, and happy to resolve any issues that arise regards, Arif Ali Technical Director OCF plc Tel: +44 (0)114 257 2200 Mob: +44 (0)7970 148 122 Fax: +44 (0)114 257 0022 Web: www.ocf.co.uk http://www.ocf.co.uk Blog: blog.ocf.co.uk http://blog.ocf.co.uk Twitter: @ocfplc http://twitter.com/#%21/ocfplc OCF plc is a company registered in England and Wales.

[xcat-user] Will xCAT work with ESXi 5.5?
Hello all, I ran into this issue when trying to create a vm I had defined in xCAT in an environment where we have two ESXi 5.5 standalone servers: # mkvm --verbose vm1 -s 100G Error: esx plugin bug, pid 16602, process description: 'xCATd SSL: mkvm to vm1 for root@localhost: esx instance' with error ' SOAP Fault: --- Fault string: Current license or ESXi version prohibits execution of the requested operation. Fault detail: RestrictedVersionFault' while trying to fulfill request for the following nodes: vm1 I installed version 5.5 update 2 of the VMWare Perl SDK (as is required) and I can contact the server with this cli command: vmware-cmd -H esxihost0001.morgan.haib.org -l The documentation only uses 4.1 as an example: http://sourceforge.net/p/xcat/wiki/XCAT_Virtualization_with_VMWare/. What is the latest version of ESXi that xCAT will work with? If it does support 5.5 do I need to configure some kind of key or license file locally? I already ran my variation on: chtab key=vmware passwd.username=root passwd.password=cluster for the xCAT passwd table.

[xcat-user] Reinstall problem
大家好，我用的xcat2.8.5部署rhel6.4;用的是VMware 虚拟机做计算节点，首次部署一切正常，当进行reinstall安装时，安装可以正常结束，正常启动后，发现主机名变为no，其他正常，谢谢！ 发自WPS邮件客戶端-- Download BIRT iHub F-Type - The Free Enterprise-Grade BIRT Server from Actuate!
