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: ima

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_
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_

Please follow this article to add support for 'image' and 'install' :
https://cwiki.apache.org/VCL/adding-support-for-partimage-and-partimage-ng-to-xcat-2x-unofficial.html
Thanks.

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
[install|shell|boot|runcmd=bmcsetup|netboot|iscsi
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/
Hello Again,
After trying again to capture a running image on a bare metal node, I get
a failure message:
Any ideas ?
Al Q
Added new image to database: 'rh6'
image.name: rh5image-rh66-v0
image.id: 6
imagerevision.id: 6
imagemeta.id: 3
resource.id: 16
Hello All,
Ok, I assume that I must get xCAT working before VCL is involved.
So, following the instructions from the link below (thanks Andy), I setup
xCAT
on the management node and entered the information for my nodes (dell
6100).
When I issued a command to remote install (rinstall), I get this
xCAT should be installed on the management node. It doesn't need to
be installed on other machines. There are a few different xCAT
installation instruction pages on their site. You may want to start
with this simpler one:
