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.
