Thanks, Lissa - I see where I was confused on setting up the "master". It indeed was pointed to my DNS server. So I changed the master to point to the xcat server, which what I gather from the doc that is what it should be. 172.16.1.40 is the IP of my xcat server.
slesxcat:~ # chtab key=master site.value='172.16.1.40' slesxcat:~ # rpower slesxcat1 stat *slesxcat1: Error: Unable to identify plugin for this command, check relevant tables: nodehm.power,mgt* Searching through the install doc I see nothing about setting up a nodehm.
