Thanks. A newly built xCAT-server-2.7.3 service node did pull in tftp-server from the distribution, and not atftp.

The xCAT spec file Requires /etc/xinetd.d/tftp, which was intended to pull in the tftp-server rpm in rhel and the tftp rpm in sles. The config file that AAsn.pm generates is for these rpms. Not sure how you ended up with atftp-server on your system.

The version are now: [root@drdkvm0003 /]# rpm -qa | egrep -i 'atftp|xcat-server' atftp-server-0.7-6.el6.rf.x86_64 xCAT-server-2.7.3-snap201206110241.noarch Perhaps the easiest short term fix for me is just to allow AAsn.pm to generate a non-working xinetd conf file for tftpd, and to start tftp from a separate, /etc/init.d/tftp init script. I’m a little hesitant to do this because there’s code in AAsn.pm that restarts xinetd, which would result in tftp being restarted, and if an init script is used to start tftp instead, xcat will not have control over tftp. Thanks, Goran _____________________________________________ From: Pocina, Goran Sent: Monday, June 11, 2012 1:53 PM To: '[email protected]' Subject: xcat - tftp compatibility issue? I have the following installed on a Linux CentOS 6.2 Management node: xCAT-server-2.7.1-snap201204060047.noarch atftp-server-0.7-6.el6.rf.x86_64 Once installed, whenever xcatd is restarted, the following xinetd file is generated for tftp: [root@drdkvm0003 xcat]# cat /etc/xinetd.d/tftp # default: on # description: The tftp server serves files using the trivial file transfer protocol. The tftp protocol is often used to boot diskless worksta. service tftp { disable = yes socket_type = dgram protocol = udp wait = yes user = apache group = apache server = /usr/sbin/in.tftpd server_args = -s /tftpboot -m /etc/tftpmapfile4xcat.conf per_source = 11 cps = 100 2 flags = IPv4 } However according to the atftpd man page, the server args above won’t work. in order to work with atftp, the following changes are needed: [root@drdkvm0003 xinetd.d]# diff /tmp/tftp /etc/xinetd.d/tftp 5c5 < disable = yes --- > disable = no 12c12 < server_args = -s /tftpboot -m /etc/tftpmapfile4xcat.conf --- > server_args = -v --logfile /var/log/tftpd /tftpboot The problem is every time xcatd is restarted, /etc/xinetd.d/tftp is overwritten by: /opt/xcat/lib/perl/xCAT_plugin/AAsn.pm I wondering whether I should look for a different version of tftpd, try the latest xCAT snapshot, or look for a configuration problem? Likely the default of “disable = yes” is a configuration issue in my db, but the AAsn.pm doesn’t appear to have much wiggle room for different tftpd server_args. (BTW I tried installing atftp-xcat, but it shows that it’s been obsoleted by xCAT-server.)
