Two questiosn are addressed here, 1. In xcat 2.6.x, there are several problems on sles/rhel working with service node pool. From xcat 2.7, tftpserver/xcatmaster can be set to empty and image server setting to tftpserver address should work here. 2. We are still discussing if image server should be set to tftpserver address or adding some other new attribute like "httpserver". "nfsserver" is just used for nfs mount, if ram-disk statelite is the case, it doesn't make sense to set image server to nfsserver address.

If I am not mistaken this makes it impossible to utilize service node pools as a result. Example of an add-on block with tftpserver blank (notice how the URL line is missing the host): <add-on> <add_on_products config:type="list"> <listentry> <media_url>http:///install/sles11.1/x86_64/sdk1</media_url> <product>SuSE-Linux-SDK</product> <product_dir>/</product_dir> <ask_on_error config:type="boolean">false</ask_on_error> <!-- available since openSUSE 11.0 --> <name>SuSE-Linux-SDK</name> <!-- available since openSUSE 11.1/SLES11 (bnc#433981) --> </listentry> </add_on_products> </add-on> Example with tftpserver filled in: <add-on> <add_on_products config:type="list"> <listentry> <media_url>http://172.16.0.1/install/sles11.1/x86_64/sdk1 </media_url> <product>SuSE-Linux-SDK</product> <product_dir>/</product_dir> <ask_on_error config:type="boolean">false</ask_on_error> <!-- available since openSUSE 11.0 --> <name>SuSE-Linux-SDK</name> <!-- available since openSUSE 11.1/SLES11 (bnc#433981) --> </listentry> </add_on_products> </add-on> Can this behavior be changed to utilize the nfsserver line instead like redhat/centos uses for repo URL's? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF email is sponsosred by: Try Windows Azure free for 90 days Click Here http://p.sf.net/sfu/sfd2d-msazure _______________________________________________ xCAT-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/xcat-user
