Hi, thank responding

Did the following:

          inet addr:127.0.0.1  Mask:255.0.0.0
and

# lsdef -t site -i dhcpinterfaces
Object name: clustersite
    dhcpinterfaces=eth1

# ifconfig eth1 | grep inet
          inet addr:10.1.10.254  Bcast:10.255.255.255  Mask:255.255.255.0

1. Regarding (1)

# cat /var/lib/dhcpd/dhcpd.leases

# The format of this file is documented in the dhcpd.leases(5) manual page.
# This lease file was written by isc-dhcp-4.1.1-P1

server-duid "\000\001\000\001\026\210o\224\000%\220J\205\215";

# makedhcp -a n01
# cat /var/lib/dhcpd/dhcpd.leases

# The format of this file is documented in the dhcpd.leases(5) manual page.
# This lease file was written by isc-dhcp-4.1.1-P1

server-duid "\000\001\000\001\026\210o\224\000%\220J\205\215";

host n01 {
  dynamic;
  hardware ethernet 00:25:90:4a:88:dc;
  fixed-address 10.1.10.1;
        supersede server.ddns-hostname = "n01";
        supersede host-name = "n01";
        supersede server.next-server = 0a:01:0a:fe;
}

and /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf remains the same (just added a line at the end about updating dhcpd.leases)

4. Regarding (4) as you can see above, executed nodeset with the osimage param, yet updatenode -F still doesn't work (the param was set correctly - all other attributes of the osimage were used in deployment, incl. pkglist and otherpkglist)

Thanks,

Any help will be appreciated.

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

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.

I Will appreciate any help
Thanks
