Aaron,
I wanted to try the ssh method to change the root password, but I stopped short
since it will ask for old password before changing to a new one. However, I
planning to create and make use of user accounts instead of looking for the
root password.
Thank you for the input.

interesting it's prompting, which version of linux.
The code is using:
echo $passwd | /usr/bin/passwd -f $account --stdin
sounds this it worked in the vcl code, so should also work at the cmdline.

Josh,
Could you provide me with the links to the resources of the VCL workshop? If
there is a way to witness the workshop while it is in progress, that would help
too.

Hi,
Update !
I was able to fix the problem that I was facing with the scripts by
disabling the firewall. But, I still have a problem with the command-
nodeset nodename image
Unless this error is fixed, I don't think partimage will work. Am I right
here?
Thanks,

Josh,
I have reached a point where I am able to boot the ppc using the
statelite images created using genimage. But, I was wondering how
significant the following command is.

I got the same error that Prem had mentioned.

From what I remember, I didn't have to do much to the rootimg.gz image to make
it work. I created the files I supply before xCAT started using statelite
instead of stateless. I think statelite uses NFS to mount the image, and
stateless uses an image file downloaded to the node and

I don't recall seeing any documentation on those parts. I had to poke around
looking at parts of xCAT to see how it worked. It's been a few years since I
did that; so, I don't remember much about the process. My recommendation
would be to start looking at things in the rootimg.gz

Hi,
We are currently in the process of configuring VCL 2.2.1 to work on a
Power 7 blade. Our current setup is:
1. A web-server that hosts the Database and the Web Code. The same
server acts as the Management node. xCAT is configured as the
provisioning module on this node.

Sunil,
Let's back up a little bit. The first thing to look at is why the image
failed. Unless you created your own stateless image for capturing and
provisioning images, then xCAT will be unable to capture an image from a Power
blade.
