Perfect solution for me, I would not change the path of installdir, I just wonder why installdir not found in xcatinfo on stateless node. Thank you Lissa, you answered my question.

INSTALLDIR in /opt/xcat/xcatinfo is only put in during a full disk install. You will see it in the /install/autoinst/<nodename> file echo "INSTALLDIR=$INSTALLDIR" >> /opt/xcat/xcatinfo The logic you see below is probably left over from some previous design of xcatdsklspost. It works because it does default to /install. I can open a defect to clean this up in xcatdsklspost and the updatenode -s command. Are you trying to change the path of the site installdir directory. I would not suggest doing this. You should use /install for reasons like you just pointed out in the xcatdsklspost code. There is a lot of xCAT code and we only test with installdir=/install.

Your reply is great help to my question, I can see the installdir value defined in site table. But why I can get the installdir value in xcatinfo on statefull node, otherwise there is no "INSTALLDIR" on stateless node? 1.xcatinfo on statefull node XCATSERVER=192.168.1.1 INSTALLDIR=/install REBOOT=TRUE 2. xcatinfo on stateless node IMAGENAME='rhels6.4-x86_64-stateless-compute' TIMESTAMP='Wed Feb 12 09:24:09 CST 2014' NODE=compute001 XCATSERVER='192.168.1.1' Inactive hide details for Lissa Valletta ---2014/04/02 19:19:44---What level of xCAT are you running. lsxcatd -a will tell us wLissa Valletta ---2014/04/02 19:19:44---What level of xCAT are you running. lsxcatd -a will tell us what level.

You should have had an xcatinfo file created in /opt/xcat/xcatinfo on your node during install. If it is missing you can run updatenode <noderange> -s This command will recreate the xcatinfo file on the node. It is very unusual to not have your site installdir attribute defined as /install. In fact, that is the default in the script below, if it is not in the xcatinfo file. It is also xCAT's default for the site installdir variable. So even if the file is missing, the xcatdsklspost script will work. tabdump site | grep installdir "installdir","/install",, Lissa K.

In post script xcatdsklspost, will check the value of INSTALLDIR , if value equal null, then grant "/install". if [ -f /opt/xcat/xcatinfo ]; then INSTALLDIR=`grep 'INSTALLDIR' /opt/xcat/xcatinfo |cut -d= -f2` fi if [ -z "$INSTALLDIR" ]; then INSTALLDIR="/install" fi I want to know, how and where can define $INSTALLDIR value in xcatinfo file so that can achieve INSTALLDIR=`grep 'INSTALLDIR' /opt/xcat/xcatinfo| cut -d=-f2`?
