Being a gravedigger here.
I finally had an opportunity to test an ARM machine, but the results was simply
bad, I’ve documented what happened here:
https://github.com/xcat2/xcat-core/issues/2946#issuecomment-584172647
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,

Unfortunately, the platform that drove that work did not turn out to be a
commercial success.
That plugin/patch did result in successful install to disk at least, just that
it used more tftp than I would like.
It would be possible to use iPXE as that builds aarch64 and have xnba.pm
support that as well, but I am at a loss for applicable aarch64 systems for me
to test/develop on.

Subject: [External] [xcat-user] Support for ARM booting
Hello,
I’m adding some ARM compute nodes on an xCAT and I got the bad news: xCAT does
not support aarch64.
Looking around there’s some information about prototypes:
https://sourceforge.net/p/xcat/mailman/message/35161961/
Theres an ticket about this too here:
https://github.com/xcat2/xcat-core/issues/2946
So the question is: what’s the state of aarch64 today? There’s any workaround,
even unofficial one to at least boot aarch64 nodes from a standard x86_64
management node?
Thanks,
