Sure. The features we’re most interested in are support for KVM LVM volumes, and multiple domain names. Is the documentation for the new features included in the xcat-core 2.8 snapshot, or in the xcat-docs-snap20121130 tarball, or should I look elsewhere as well?

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.
