Hi Yuan,
We are an ISP (Deutsche Telekom) and have been using xCat for many
years. One of our vendors (IBM) recommended it once to provision nodes
to run their software. We are very pleased with it!
Now, we support using SLES12.3 xCAT management node to provision SLE15
diskful compute node.
PLEASE CHECK whether these directories are included in "exlist" of the osimage, which will excluded from the compressed rootimg during `packimg`

Could you share more information about How to use xCAT on SLES and your

We manage a cluster running Centos 7.2, using xCAT 2.10. Recently,
the customer asked us to deploy a diskless node with Centos 7.5 for
testing.
We discovered a problem with this - packimage was not including
/usr/include or about 3/4 of the directories in /usr/share in the
resulting rootimg.gz.
Hello,
There is no repository for SLES15 in
http://xcat.org/files/xcat/repos/yum/xcat-dep/
Did I miss something? Or doesn't SLES15 need a xcat-dep repository? Or
is it just too early?
Many thanks!
Winfried
