Ling,
GREAT CATCH! Too many "," is that table and I had the placement off by
one. What I get for cutting and pasting and not paying enough attention. That
fixed my issue.
Thanks,
-Brad

Hi Brad,
It looks like the tftpdir for the node is wrong.
tftpdir=172.20.0.1
Can you leave it blank on the noderes table and let the site.tftpdir take
effect?

________________________________
Good afternoon,
I hope I am just doing something wrong or have an entry off in my database
tables. I have a x3650M4 server with 32 new dx360M4 compute nodes (diskless)
and 2 dx360M4 login nodes (have hard drives). I've worked my way through the
quickstart for iDataplex. I can complete node discovery and the LED turns blue
as expected. At that point if I do a:
# nodeset c6u34 osimage=rhel6_c-x86_64-netboot-compute
c6u34: netboot rhel6_c-x86_64-compute
nothing is getting created in /tftpboot/xcat/xnba/nodes
# ls -l /tftpboot/xcat/xnba/nodes/
total 0
When the node tries to boot, this is what I see on console (SOL configured on
discovery without issue):
Features: HTTP HTTPS iSCSI DNS TFTP bzImage ELF PXE PXEXT

I can't find anything in the WIKI about why /tftpboot wouldn't be getting
updated on a nodeset and nothing is showing up in /var/log/messages other then:
xCAT: Allowing nodeset to c6u34 osimage=rhel6_c-x86_64-netboot-compute for
root from localhost
I am having the same problem with nodeset for my stateful nodes as well.
# nodeset login1 osimage=rhel6_s-x86_64-install-login
login1: install rhel6_s-x86_64-login
# rsetboot login1 net
login1: Network
# ls -l /tftpboot/xcat/xnba/nodes/

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
