/opt/intel/mic/filesystem must be writable since the ramdisk for mic node will be generated in this path.
There's a mount point /opt/intel/mic/mnt on host which will be mounted to MN to get the installation repo, so you have to make the sure this dir has been created in rootimage. Yes, configmic has a defect there and xCAT has added a restriction in the release note. It will be fixed soon. For the last question, did you run the genimage against your image?

In my previous experiences I've done: "rhel64phi","/etc/sysconfig/mic/","persistent",, "rhel64phi","/opt/intel/mic/filesystem/","persistent",, Of course that immediately explains why my own method now fails as I had used a different name for the osimage that is RHEL 64 with updates. D'oh. :-) I'm not sure that having /opt/intel/mic/filesystem/ persistent will work with xCAT's method because it'll be an NFS mount and I'm not sure I can NFS mount onto a mount point inside NFS (and if you can I'm not necessarily convinced it's a good idea). My current state is that I've had to modify /opt/xcat/sbin/configmic to use Sys::Hostname to get the nodes hostname rather than the current method (otherwise it gets the FQDN where xCAT has generated the MIC configs with the short form), but now I hit an issue which is: [root@barcoo-m ~]# nodeset barcoo061-mic0 osimage=mpss3-2.1.6720-15-netboot-compute barcoo061: Error: failed to change the common dir for mic file system. Checking it looks like that whilst the base directory and base.filelist look OK both the common directory and common.filelist are empty. Any ideas?
