The check is against what you have setup for the provmethod for the node. It will show up in the /xcatpost/mypostscripts file on the nodes. If it ever happens again, check that file for these line. If you provmethod is a diskless osimage name, we should still set it to netboot. export NODESETSTATE=netboot export NODESETSTATE

Subject: Re: [xcat-user] Otherpkgs runs on stateless nodes
Strangely enough I am unable to replicate the problem anymore. Seems to be
fine:
/var/log/messages:
Aug 9 14:40:13 csclprd3-0-0 xcat: Running otherpkgs
Aug 9 14:40:13 csclprd3-0-0 xcat: ready
Aug 9 14:40:13 csclprd3-0-0 xcat: done
/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.

listed as a postscript?

Subject: [xcat-user] 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!
