HI,

The doc
https://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/xcat/index.php?title=XCAT_Port_Usage
lists more ports that will be used by xCAT.

Thanks,

Subject:        [xcat-user] Firewall ports for xCAT



We have an existing iDataPlex cluster, and we're adding 2 more racks. One
of the systems in the new racks will be a service node, but the new
hardware, including the new SN, is on a different subnet. The compute nodes
in the new racks will be netbooting, and their images will need to be built
on the SN since the MN is running an older version of RH than they want on
the new hardware. They don't want the SN running a DHCP server if we can
avoid it. All we're looking to have the MN do is handle DHCP and ipmi
(r-tools, console). That said, is it safe to say a minimal list of ports to
open up on the firewall between the two racks would be as follows:

xcatd
xcati
dhcp
dhcpc
ipmi
pxe
postgresql (this wasn't listed on the wiki)
conserver
rpc-mount

Have I missed anything?

The plan is that the compute nodes will netboot off the SN, but the initial
PXE/DHCP communication will be handled by the MN. Admin tools like rpower &
rcons will be handled on the MN. We're not doing node discovery (MACs have
been manually collected) and DNS is handled by their servers.
