Doing this with xCAT 2.8.3 results in the following error on the node's
console:
"Unrecognized directive <error> "
Please advise.
Thanks!

Did you try to add the '--noupdateinitrd' as a parameter like
'osimage=xxx --noupdateinitrd' in chain table? It should work.
Thanks

Hi all,
Every time a cluster is redeployed with a diskfull osimage, it takes
a very, very long time due to it rebuilding the initrd for every
single node to include our custom drivers. Example:
[root@master ~]# ps aux | grep cpio
root 22435 0.0 0.0 11296 1288 ? S 11:07 0:00 sh
-c cd /tmp/ddtmpmH2w9vo/modules; find . -print | cpio -o -H crc |
gzip -9 > /tmp/ddtmpmH2w9vo/initrd_img/modules/modules.cgz 2>&1

gzip -9 > /tmp/ddtmp8zxIDN9/initrd_img/modules/modules.cgz 2>&1

-o -H crc
I know there is a flag for nodeset to tell it to not rebuild the
initrd, but this doesn't help with an osimage install that is done
via chain. Is there a way to tell xCAT to just build the initrd once,
and not rebuild it over and over again for each individual compute
node when it encounters the osimage install via the chain table?
Thanks!
