Running SLES 11.1 x86_64 master on mixed cluster. Upgraded from 2.6.6 to
2.7.4 and working through some of the results. The first and most major we
have seen is the new way xCAT handles tftpd. I noted that restart of xCAT
removes our xinetd tftpd cfg file, replaces it with one of it's own, then
disables it. xCAT then seems to start a tftpd outside of xinetd. However,
the instance xCAT starts isn't working, and doesn't have the syntax we
want, and really, we'd rather have xinetd handle (for auditing purposes).
We cannot get a successful statelite boot with the xCAT tftpd, once we put
back our xinetd tftpd file and start it up, we start seeing normal
behaviour.
Note also that we never used the xCAT provided tftpd rpm, but always
removed it and added back in SLES tftpd rpm.
Two questions then:
1) can we disable the xCAT tftpd overtake process?
2) Is there some way to modify what syntax xCAT calls on tftpd?
