Success! (Well, mostly) I swapped atftp-server for tftp-server. I needed to use yum shell to make this an atomic operation.
tftp is now running but my nodes aren't able to get tftp images. Off to debug that issue! Just in case anyone else needs to do something similar, heres how: #yum shell > remove atftp-server > install tftp-server > run Complete output log: # yum shell Loaded plugins: etckeeper, fastestmirror, presto Setting up Yum Shell > remove atftp-server Setting up Remove Process > install tftp-server Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile * base: mirror.atlanticmetro.net * epel: fedora.mirrors.pair.com * extras: mirror.atlanticmetro.net * rpmforge: mirror.us.leaseweb.net * updates: mirror.trouble-free.net Setting up Install Process > run --> Running transaction check ---> Package atftp-server.i686 0:0.7-6.el6.rf will be erased ---> Package tftp-server.i686 0:0.49-7.el6 will be installed --> Processing Dependency: xinetd for package: tftp-server-0.49-7.el6.i686 --> Running transaction check ---> Package xinetd.i686 2:2.3.14-35.el6_3 will be installed --> Finished Dependency Resolution ================================================================================ Package Arch Version Repository Size ================================================================================ Installing: tftp-server i686 0.49-7.el6 base 38 k Removing: atftp-server i686 0.7-6.el6.rf @rpmforge 137 k Installing for dependencies: xinetd i686 2:2.3.14-35.el6_3 updates 122 k Transaction Summary ================================================================================ Install 2 Package(s) Remove 1 Package(s) Total size: 160 k Is this ok [y/N]: y Downloading Packages: Running rpm_check_debug Running Transaction Test Transaction Test Succeeded Running Transaction etckeeper: pre transaction commit [master 9e76064] saving uncommitted changes in /etc prior to yum run 2 files changed, 0 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) Installing : 2:xinetd-2.3.14-35.el6_3.i686 1/3 Installing : tftp-server-0.49-7.el6.i686 2/3 warning: /etc/xinetd.d/tftp created as /etc/xinetd.d/tftp.rpmnew Erasing : atftp-server-0.7-6.el6.rf.i686 3/3 etckeeper: post transaction commit Verifying : 2:xinetd-2.3.14-35.el6_3.i686 1/3 Verifying : tftp-server-0.49-7.el6.i686 2/3 Verifying : atftp-server-0.7-6.el6.rf.i686 3/3 Removed: atftp-server.i686 0:0.7-6.el6.rf Installed: tftp-server.i686 0:0.49-7.el6 Dependency Installed: xinetd.i686 2:2.3.14-35.el6_3 Finished Transaction > exit Leaving Shell Steve On 09/03/2012 02:44 PM, William Woodford wrote: > There was some discussion on this a few weeks back (check the mailing > list archives?). > > xCAT 2.7 relies (if I'm not mistaken) on the vendor's tftp service and > no long bundles atftp.
