It really has problem in your env that otherpkgs does not work during the
installation.
xCAT supplies two approaches to make otherpkgs to work:
1. Using 'yum'. In your env that several .repo files
(/etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-*.repo) were created on your installed node, and
inside the .repo, the url address like 'mirrorlist.centos.org' cannot be
resolved by the OS that caused the yum failed. I'll discuss this inside
xCAT team to see how to resolve it.
2. If 'yum' failed, using 'rpm'. It should work on you env, but your
configuration file
'/opt/xcat/share/xcat/install/centos/compute.centos6.1.x86_64.otherpkgs.pkglist'
 has problem.
  Put the blcr instead of blcr.x86_64, since the rpm name is
blcr-0.8.4-1.x86_64.rpm
  Following dependency could not be found in the specified path:
        pkgconfig(libxml-2.0) is needed by hwloc-devel-1.3-0.el6.x86_64
        perl(DBI) is needed by slurm-slurmdb-direct-2.3.2-1.el6.x86_64
        libpq.so.5()(64bit) is needed by slurm-sql-2.3.2-1.el6.x86_64

The reason that updatenode worked in your env was that updatenode run the
'ospkgs' postscript inside that cleaned/created the corrected .repo file.
As a work around, I added the 'ospkgs' as the postscript for the node in
your env, but did not get chance to get the result.

Thanks

            and updatenode issues



All info I could think of is in the attached file. Let me know if I can
send any more info. Wang - the cluster is again accessible from the
internet, same as before.
So - why do I need to run updatenode manually to execute the postscripts,
and why doesn't "updatenode otherpkgs" work?


Thanks all

      So you meant the otherpkgs during the installation did not work, but
      update
      ohterpkgs worked after the reboot of the node, right?

      Could you confirm that the optherpkgs was added in the
      postbootscripts
      attribute (postbootscripts=otherpkgs)

      Thanks

      As I mentioned - doesn't work.
      after nodeset osimage,
      rpower n01 reset
      at the end the otherpkgs are not installed.
      Must run updatenode manually after final reboot to install otherpkgs.
