Strangely enough I am unable to replicate the problem anymore. Seems
to be fine:
/var/log/messages:

/var/log/xcat/xcat.log on the node:
Fri Aug 9 14:40:13 PDT 2013 Running postscript: otherpkgs
Did not install any extra rpms.
Postscript: otherpkgs exited with code 0
The only thing I can think of is at one point I was missing
chain.currchain for the node. Can't think of why that would make the
otherpkgs postscript run/not detect this is a stateless node, but
that's all I can think of.
I didn't want to re-break the working node, so if there's not an
actual bug you can find on your end, I'd say we can close this
non-issue :-)

Take a look at man genimage, I think it gives a pretty good
description as to where the list come from. This is from the
man page
If imagename is specified, the
package list file names are read from the osimage table
and linuximage tables.
IF you look in the linuximage
table there are attributes that can be set to cover this (
pkglist pkgdir otherpkglist otherpkgdir exlist).
When we generate our default
images we fill most of them in with default paths. This is
what genimage uses.

We don't automatically set an
*.otherpkglist, you can specfy that; you can also change the
ones that are they to your own directories, but your
customized directories should reside under /install. We do
specify *.pkglist because those additional packages are needed
by xCAT installed on the nodes.

required for the genimage process? Does genimage run otherpkgs
without requiring the script be listed as a postscript?

Otherpkgs runs on stateless nodes
Hi all,
I've converted a non-osimage stateless image over to using
osimage. I've
noticed now that when booting stateless nodes, the
otherpkgs script
executes and attempts to install the extra RPMs. In the
past, otherpkgs
didn't run as this was performed during the genimage
process.
Does the otherpkgs postscript need to be updated to
properly detect
diskless nodes that are using osimage and not try to
install RPMs on
boot, or have I misconfigured something?
Thanks!
