So my fellow developers say I should not dissuade you from going ahead and using 2.8. You can download from the xCAT download page under " Development Builds". https://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/xcat/index.php?title=Download_xCAT
Also here are the release notes: https://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/xcat/index.php?title=XCAT_2.8_Release_Notes Lissa K.

I would wait and get the official release, we still have a build and some test to do. Lissa K.

It will be interesting to see how it works in 2.8. ( http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/xcat/index.php?title=Cluster_Name_Resolution ) Is 2.8 available for Beta yet?

Our site table contains the “nyc” domain, and we have problems running postscripts when the node being installed is in the “en” domain: [root@drdkvm0003 xcat]# tabdump site | grep domain "domain","nyc.desres.deshaw.com",, We assumed we could support multiple domains with a single MN by using the networks table. Do we need separate MNs for each domain?

It should be en.desres.deshaw.com based on the name of your node. The getpostscripts.awk, is a request from the node to the management node. There is a validation of the domain. I do notice in your networks table you have two domains defined. We only support one domain name in the xCAT cluster, until xCAT 2.8. nyc.desres.deshaw.com en.desres.deshaw.com Lissa K.
