Hello xcat-user list, Statefull install of CentOS6.2 or Fedora14 will not work on the HS20 blades, when using xCAT 2.7.1
I have used genimage to create a stateless image of CentOS6.2 from the managment node, and a stateless image of Fedora14 from a compute node. The stateless netboot will work okay on one blade, but not on other blades. To get the stateless netboot of CentOS6.2 to work on some blades I did the following; After setting the nodetype with # nodeset gouda6 netboot=<osver>-<arch>-<profile> Edit the file /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/<node> and add the kernal boot time options "usb-handoff acpi=off noapic" so it look something like #netboot fedora14-x86_64-compute DEFAULT xCAT LABEL xCAT KERNEL xcat/netboot/fedora14/x86_64/compute/kernel APPEND initrd=xcat/netboot/fedora14/x86_64/compute/initrd-stateless.gz boot_delay=50 usb-handoff acpi=off noapic imgurl=http://gouda-san//install/netboot/fedora14/x86_64/compute/rootimg.gz XCAT=gouda-san:3001 ifname=eth0:00:14:5e:36:46:aa|00:14:5e:36:46:ab!*NOIP* netdev=eth0 console=tty0 console=ttyS1,19200n8r IPAPPEND 2 This fix did not work for Fedora14 or for any Statefull installs. Is there any better way to do this in xCAT, and is there any other xCAT commands or options for doing a statefull install?
