We wrote our own to do this, we called it localdisk-statelite due to our high
availability requirements. An earlier version of the scripts (our own
initrd/modifications to rc.statelite) were put in a feature request here:

That might help you get started..

Subject: [xcat-user] Diskful mode
Hello,
We are currently testing out a xcat-statelite node image for our cluster, and
are happy with it, but we are running into the problem that our NFS server
can't handle the amount of traffic we are sending it. The type of jobs we run
create a lot of I/O reading libraries.
We are starting to consider the idea of just putting hard drives in the nodes,
and I am a bit confused about the functionality that xCAT provides for
"diskful" installs. Is it basically limited to pxe/kickstart installations of
nodes? Is there no way to deploy a "master" image to each node? Essentially
what I am imaging is being able to manage the node image on the xCAT management
server, the way it is done with statelite installs, but instead of using
NFS/RAM it would just install it to the local drive?
Thanks,
Eric
