The normal setup is to get the ISO of the OS onto the Management node and use copycds to setup and install the nodes from the Management node. You do not need access to the network except to get that ISO.
Take a look at this documentation. It is good for any x-series hardware: https://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/xcat/index.php?title=XCAT_iDataPlex_Cluster_Quick_Start#Deploying_Nodes Lissa K. Valletta 8-3/B10 Poughkeepsie, NY 12601 (tie 293) 433-3102 From: Dennis Zheleznyak <den...@eshkol.com.co> To: xCAT Users Mailing list <xcat-user@lists.sourceforge.net>, Date: 03/19/2014 07:12 AM Subject: [xcat-user] Change the default repository Hi all, I'm working on a network that does not have a connection to the out side world, therefore, we've downloaded the entire 20GB repo from the net to our servers. I'd like to install the nodes that are associated with xCAT through that repository, same as defining repo --baseurl in a normal kickstart. Can it be done in xCAT ? Thank you, Dennis. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Learn Graph Databases - Download FREE O'Reilly Book "Graph Databases" is the definitive new guide to graph databases and their applications.
