Did you have host name resolution for the Management Node, where you installed xCAT, established when you installed. That can cause problems with the initial setup of the site table attributes. tabdump site and look for the master attribute. Is that the ip address that the node will be able to contact the management node. Also maybe you need the domain attribute set in the same table.

Valletta 8-3/B10 Poughkeepsie, NY 12601 (tie 293) 433-3102 From: Mark Pace <[email protected]> To: xCat <[email protected]> Date: 02/13/2013 12:11 PM Subject: [xcat-user] xCat configuration problem I've installed xCat in a SLES11 linux guest running under z/VM. I've been through the installation process for xCat and zHCP. I'm now to the section where it says I can begin using xCat commands and the UI. So for grins I try to rpower command to check the status of my zHCP server. slesxcat:~ # rpower sleszhcp stat Error: Unable to dispatch hierarchical sub-command to 10.6.0.10:3001. This service node may be down or its xcatd daemon may not be responding. So here's a problem. 10.6.0.10 is NOT my zHCP server. That is my DNS server. Looking through the install process I can not determine where it was that I told xcat what my zHCP server IP address is. I've search back through the document and I know I have to have missed something, but I sure can't find it. This is the only time I see the IP address of the zHCP being entered. mkdef -t node -o gpok2 userid=LNX2 hcp=gpok2.endicott.ibm.com mgt=zvm groups=all chtab node=gpok2 hosts.ip="10.1.100.2" hosts.hostnames=" gpok2.endicott.ibm.com" Which I have done using my specfics. slesxcat:~ # lsdef -t node -o sleszhcp Object name: sleszhcp groups=all hcp=sleszhcp.xcat.s390.mainline.com hostnames=sleszhcp.xcat.s390.mainline.com ip=172.16.1.41 mgt=zvm postbootscripts=otherpkgs postscripts=syslog,remoteshell,syncfiles userid=SLESZHCP What have I missed? -- The postings on this site are my own and don’t necessarily represent Mainline’s positions or opinions Mark D Pace Senior Systems Engineer Mainline Information Systems ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Free Next-Gen Firewall Hardware Offer Buy your Sophos next-gen firewall before the end March 2013 and get the hardware for free!
