Ok, I am going to try and focus on this and get this into an efix also.
Thanks!

Sorry, I am running 2.6.11 w/ latest deps on RHEL 6.1.

I changed start.sh to include -o nolock in the mount command and it seems
to work, but now the bomc.error log stated it can't find menu/menu.sh. I
found that in tc.xcat.zip, is that also supposed to be in the repo
directory?

This toolscenter image was created on a VM running the same OS and xCAT
version as the cluster MN. I even configured the site.master as the same IP
as the cluster. I used to do this all the time to get toolscenter images
into secure environments (after I d/l the images I put the toolscenter
directory on a CD and rsync it over to the MN). Lately, I've been having
problems doing this, both in building the image and in netbooting cluster
nodes off it.

Subject:        [xcat-user] mktoolscenter results in failed mount attempt



Trying to use a toolscenter netboot image and I see the following in the
console:

Kicking off: sh start.sh serial
mount.nfs: rpc.statd is not running but is required for remote locking
mount.nfs: Either use '-o nolock' to keep locks local or start statd
mount.nfs: an incorrect mount option was specified

After this, the system reboots.

Looking in start.sh, I can see where it tries to mount the xcat-master, but
I can't see anything wrong with the command. When nfs tries to come up in
during boot, I can see in the console where it says there are no NFS mounts
in fstab so it aborts.
