OK, I found the file in /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/cache001 (which is the
hostname). I stripped out the ks= and change the ksdevice= to the mac address
(I had previously had eth2, which didn't work at all). Here is the lsdef:
[root@mgt1 tftpboot]# lsdef cache001
Object name: cache001
arch=x86_64
bmc=cache001-bmc
bmcport=0
currchain=boot
currstate=install centos6.5-x86_64-storage2
groups=cache,sm-bmc,cachenodes,chs
initrd=xcat/osimage/centos6.5-x86_64-install-storage2/initrd.img
installnic=mac
ip=172.20.6.1
kcmdline=quiet repo=http://172.20.0.2:80/install/centos6.5/x86_64
ks=http://172.20.0.2:80/install/autoinst/cache001 ksdevice=eth2 cmdline
console=tty0 console=ttyS1,115200
kernel=xcat/osimage/centos6.5-x86_64-install-storage2/vmlinuz
mac=00:25:90:8c:21:18
mgt=ipmi
netboot=pxe
nfsserver=172.20.0.2
os=centos6.5
postbootscripts=otherpkgs
postscripts=syslog,remoteshell,syncfiles,setupntp,ipoib,sitespecific
power=ipmi
primarynic=mac
profile=storage2
provmethod=centos6.5-x86_64-install-storage2
serialport=1
serialspeed=115200
status=installing
statustime=02-28-2014 15:32:46
tftpserver=172.20.0.2
[root@mgt1 tftpboot]#
At this point it is sitting for many minutes at
"waiting for hardware to initialize..."
Any ideas why things would get stuck here, any way to enable more debugging
messages?
The serial console seems to be working OK up to this point, but the node is not
pingable.
Thanks,
