XCATBYPASS means you are not running with xcatd. If the problem is running with xcatd, I would like to understand why. That would be a bug.
Lissa K. Valletta 8-3/B10 Poughkeepsie, NY 12601 (tie 293) 433-3102 From: Michael Robbert <mrobb...@mines.edu> To: <xcat-user@lists.sourceforge.net>, Date: 08/16/2013 01:10 PM Subject: Re: [xcat-user] New nodes not deploying Lissa, When I tried steps 1 and 2 it worked. I haven't had time to look at it deeper so I don't know if something else changed since the last time I tried or if XCATBYPASS is what fixed it. I'll try to let you know if I do find anything, but for now don't worry about it.
