Re: [xcat-user] Confluent 3.3 is released, new stateless implementation

[Vinícius Ferrão via xCAT-user]

Jarrod, this seems to bridge the gap between xCAT and Confluent.

Stateless is a long missing feature on Confluent. I'll definitely give it a try 
when I have some spare time.

Is there any hot migrations available (without reinstalling the entire cluster)?

Thanks.

[Vinícius Ferrão via xCAT-user]

Thanks all for the answers.

Thomas and Jon, very nice answers indeed. It was unrelated on the MLNX OFED 
Repository but this solved some doubts that I had with this repo. I never fully 
understood why things ended up broken when using the repo. The repo should be 
the way to go, but Mellanox is unable to cope with it.

Thanks for the --kmp tip too. I will figure it out the best way.

Best regards,
Vinícius.

Hello,

I'm trying to use the OFED install script from xCAT but some template files 
seems to be missing, the first one is the one in the title:

/opt/xcat/share/xcat/ib/netboot/rh/ib.rhels8.x86_64.pkglist

Does anyone have a list of the packages required? EL8 and x86_64?

Thanks all and happy new year.

PS: Anything else that I should be aware with mlnxofed_ib_install script?

Re: [xcat-user] EXTERNAL: Re: How to modify list of modules to add to initrd?

[Hannum, Keith]

So is the only way to clean it up and add fips to modify the genimage script? 
Or is the list of modules pulled from somewhere?

"Failed to find module" messages are probably from "sub mkinitrd()" in

Subject: [EXTERNAL] [xcat-user] How to modify list of modules to add to initrd?





I want to build my diskless nodes with FIPS enabled, and in rhel8 this requires 
building FIPS into the initrd. I can do this with a custom dracut config, but 
this file needs to be in the rootimg chdir before the initrd is generated by 
genimage, which isn’t possible on a clean image creation. I am also getting 
errors with ext3 and nfs on my rhel 8.4 MN. I’d like to clean this list up and 
add FIPS so on the initial creation of the image, everything is loaded 
correctly. How is this list created and maintained?
