Your migration was from 2.5.1 to 2.8.0, a lot has changed in 3 releases. You should do the following service xcatd stop ps -ef | grep xcatd and make sure there are no xcatd processes. If there are kill -9 any xcatd processes service xcatd start tabdump site to make sure it is running well.
then run makedns -n run makedhpc -n run makedhcp -a If diskfull nodes, then run nodeset <noderange> install rsetboot <noderange> net rpower <noderange> boot If diskless node, you will need to generate new images for the nodes and then nodeset <noderange> netboot rsetboot <noderange> net rpower <noderange> boot You will see messages that you should be converting to osimages, and to do that look at these two docs. https://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/xcat/index.php?title=XCAT_iDataPlex_Cluster_Quick_Start https://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/xcat/index.php?title=Convert_Non-osimage_Based_System_To_Osimage_Based_System Let us know what happens. By the way, what is your hardware. Lissa K. Valletta 8-3/B10 Poughkeepsie, NY 12601 (tie 293) 433-3102 From: Antoine Tabary <[email protected]> To: xCAT Users Mailing list <[email protected]> Date: 04/25/2013 08:30 AM Subject: Re: [xcat-user] xcat 2.8.1 Hello, Thank you Lissa for your answer, so I did migrate to 2.8.0 after installing the Perl rpms from deps. Now I fail to reinstall any node. It does boot PXE and acknowledges its address. It does retrieve xcat/xnba.kpxe with atftpd It does request and gets its IP address again But then nothing happens nor shows on the console untill the node eventually boots on its internal disk. How can I investigate the error ? Are there logs somewhere I could look at to understand what is happening ? I have noticed that since I migrated from xcat 2.5.1 to xCAT 2.8.0, I have a recurring error message in /var/log/httpd/error_log [Wed Apr 24 17:14:47 2013] [error] [client 10.252.4.178] File does not exist: /var/www/html/install [Wed Apr 24 17:14:47 2013] [error] [client 10.252.4.178] File does not exist: /var/www/html/install [Wed Apr 24 17:14:47 2013] [error] [client 10.252.4.178] File does not exist: /var/www/html/install [Wed Apr 24 17:14:47 2013] [error] [client 10.252.4.178] File does not exist: /var/www/html/install [Wed Apr 24 17:15:12 2013] [error] [client 10.252.4.168] File does not exist: /var/www/html/install [Wed Apr 24 17:15:12 2013] [error] [client 10.252.4.168] File does not exist: /var/www/html/install [Wed Apr 24 17:15:12 2013] [error] [client 10.252.4.168] File does not exist: /var/www/html/install Here are my files in /tftpboot/xcat/xnba/nodes, if my understanding is correct I should be using the last one (my boot order starts with legacy only) : [root@hpc1A004a nodes]# cat hpc1A620c-x.uefi #!gpxe chain http://${next-server}/tftpboot/xcat/elilo-x64.efi -C /tftpboot/xcat/xnba/nodes/hpc1A620c-x.elilo [root@hpc1A004a nodes]# cat hpc1A620c-x.elilo default="xCAT" delay=0 image=/tftpboot/xcat/rhels5.5/x86_64/calcul/vmlinuz label="xCAT" initrd=/tftpboot/xcat/rhels5.5/x86_64/calcul/initrd.img append="quiet repo=http://10.252.7.204:80/install/rhels5.5/x86_64 ks=http://10.252.7.204:80/install/autoinst/hpc1A620c-x ksdevice=eth0 cmdline console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200n8r BOOTIF=%B" [root@hpc1A004a nodes]# cat hpc1A620c-x #!gpxe #install rhels5.5-x86_64-calcul imgfetch -n kernel http://$ {next-server}/tftpboot/xcat/rhels5.5/x86_64/calcul/vmlinuz imgload kernel imgargs kernel quiet repo=http://10.252.7.204:80/install/rhels5.5/x86_64 ks=http://10.252.7.204:80/install/autoinst/hpc1A620c-x ksdevice=eth0 cmdline console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200n8r BOOTIF=01-${netX/machyp} imgfetch http://$ {next-server}/tftpboot/xcat/rhels5.5/x86_64/calcul/initrd.img imgexec kernel [root@hpc1A004a nodes]# Thank you for your help.
