[xcat-user] chain after node is already discovered

2013-01-30 Thread Gilad Berman
Hello list, We would like to set a chain of tasks - i.e runimage=image_to_run,install - to a node that has already been discovered. Looks like the chain attribute in the chain table only used by the discovery process. nodeset node runimage=image_to_run,install does not seems to work either

[xcat-user] external drivers that are non-ipmi based (e.g. wol, baytech, cyclades)

Hi, I recall that xcat used to support baytech and cyclades equipment in the past. I was curious if it still supported this type of equipment. I specifically needed to use a wake-on-lan command to control some nodes. I was looking in the directory: /opt/xcat/lib/perl of a 2.7.6 install Perhaps

The chain table is used every time a node boots, *if* the command you have it running asks for nextdestiny. Through my own trial and error, I have found the following to work fairly well to get it cycle through the chain correctly. I'm sure there's a better way out there of doing this.
