1. I could not recreate this issue on 2.6.10. If set the netboot=pxe, I got
following configuration in the dhcpd.leases. Could you try to remove the
section for you node from the dhcpd.leases and run makedhcp again?
host kvm1 {
dynamic;
hardware ethernet 42:1a:6d:fa:64:ae;
fixed-address 192.168.5.59;
supersede server.ddns-hostname = "kvm1";
supersede host-name = "kvm1";
if option vendor-class-identifier = "ScaleMP" {
supersede server.filename = "vsmp/pxelinux.0";
} else {
supersede server.filename = "pxelinux.0";
}
supersede server.next-server = c0:a8:05:54;
}
2. makedhcp -n will generate network entry against the interfaces of the
management nodes. Could you check the interfaces from 'ifconfig -a'?
3. I should not be caused by xCAT. You can control it by yourself.
4. If you'd like to use the osimage to specify the synclist configuration
file, you need to run the 'nodeset node osimage=
centos6.1-x86_64-install-compute' to specify the osimage for the node to
install.Thanks Best Regards ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Wang Xiaopeng (王晓朋) IBM China System Technology Laboratory Tel: 86-10-82453455 Email: [email protected] Address: 28,ZhongGuanCun Software Park,No.8 Dong Bei Wang West Road, Haidian District Beijing P.R.China 100193 From: Sten Wolf <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Date: 2011-12-23 04:40 Subject: [xcat-user] xcat 2.6.10 makedhcp pxe issues Hi all, Just installed a new mini cluster (SuperMicro HW , CentOS x64 6.1 , xcat 2.6.10 , diskfull install) and ran into a few issues. 1. PXE. noderes.netboot is set to pxe, yet makedhcp only configures xnba. In /var/log/messages atftpd is trying to push xcat/xnba instead of pxelinux.0. Had to manually change the two filename statements (in if option client-architecture = 00:00 and in if option vendor-class-identifier = "Etherboot-5.4") to "/pxelinux.0". (nodeset is working correctly, creating the correct symlinks in pxelinux.cfg) 2. makedhcp -n creates an additional wrong zone the networks table has private network aet to 10.1.10.0/24, but makedhcp -n creates two zones - 10.1.10.0/24 and 10.0.0.0/8. Remove that one too, while I made the changes to filename. after these too changes the installation finished with almost no issues. The following still unresolved: 3. After every reboot (including at end of install) the new node delays with message Probing EDD (edd=off to disable) .... I know I can disable it with kcmdline edd=off, but was wandering why this happens, and if ignoring it is the best solution. 4. updatenode -F doesn't synclist. I used chdef -t osimage -o centos6.1-x86_64-install-compute synclists="/install/custom/install/centos/centos6.1-x86_64-install-compute.synclist" and confirmed it with lsdef node01 --osimage none of the files in the synclist file is copied to the target.
