Thanks for all the good information! Did you run makedhcp -a to pick up the new nodes . Also you will need to run makeconservercf to pick up the new nodes. You might need to run makedhcp -n followed by makedhcp -a.
Also these attributes are missing in the new nodes

Subject: [xcat-user] New nodes not deploying
I've got a small test cluster with working stateless nodes. Recently I
tried to add 2 more nodes and I can't get them to deploy the same
stateless image. For some reason the tftp configuration files are
getting touched when I run nodeset, but not changed to point to the
correct boot images. They are staying with genesis boot images.
I have tried various incarnations of nodeadd and nodediscover, always
followed by a nodeset $nodename osimage=mycomputeimage
The nodeset command will change /tftpboot/xcat/xnba/nodes/$nodename file
for the working nodes and it updates the timestamp for the non-working
nodes, but the file still points to the genesis boot images. Am I
missing a step?
Here is my setup.
xCAT server:
