chunyang, I think what you are asking for is to be able to capture an image from a node and then install that image on another node (instead of diskless boot the node with the image). xCAT doesn't support this yet, but it is planned for a future release. Not sure when yet.

Valletta 2-3/T12 Poughkeepsie, NY 12601 (tie 293) 433-3102 From: "c.y.liu" <[email protected]> To: xCAT Users Mailing list <[email protected]> Date: 02/21/2012 07:34 AM Subject: [xcat-user] does xCAT support capture image and restore it to compute node disk hello, I searched in xCAT maillist and wiki. I only found that xCAT can capture an existing compute node, and use the captured image to provision new compute nodes in stateless/statelite. Is it possible that xCAT provision stateful compute node using the captured image? If possible, where can I get related instructions or steps. currently, I only have following links describing capture image. http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/xcat/index.php?title=Capture_Linux_Image thanks, chunyang liu ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Keep Your Developer Skills Current with LearnDevNow!
