Thanks Xiao,
The issue wasn't that the nodes weren't booting, just that dryrun
wasn't giving me the interface flag that is required. Unfortunately
genimage still seems to need this flag to produce the
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 file. Hardeths needs this
file to be able to correctly create a static interface file. Am I
missing something there?
I also found that the "nodebootif" option in osimage was what I was
looking for to give me the missing "-i" flag.
Thoughts? Is there a way to properly get the needed
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 file into the image
without using the "-i" flag? Or a way to get hardeths to cooperate
when the ifcfg-eth0 file isn't there?

Generally, xCAT recommends to
use the mac address to specify the boot network interface.
That means during the genimage, no specific interface needs be
specified, but configure the mac address for node and set
installnic=mac so that during the boot of stateless image, the
interface which specified with the specific 'mac' will be
used.
So the problem was that did you
configure your node correctly with the mac and installnic
attributes I guess.
If you really want to specify
the network interface by yourself, just use the -i flag
anyway.
Thanks
Best Regards

Subject: [xcat-user] missing -i flag from
genimage --dryrun
Hi all,
I am following this guide for generating a CentOS 5 image on a
CentOS 6
management node:
http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/xcat/index.php?title=Building_a_Stateless_Image_of_a_Different_Architecture_or_OS
When I am running the "genimage --dryrun $osimage", it
produces output
that does not include the "-i" flag that specifies $prinic,
which is
then used for creating the
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-$prinic
file by the genimage script. As a result, the image that is
generated is
missing ifcfg-eth0 file, and hardeths fails on the node.
Am I missing configuration somewhere that would give me the
missing -i
flag for my genimage line?
Thanks!
