Hello all,
After a node has been reinstalled, it won't boot its OS.
The installation works well and once it has to reboot, I can see on the remote
console (BMC) that it's kind of stuck on this message:
Trying to load: pxelinux.cfg/AC1E0002 OK
Booting from local disk…
PXE-M0F: Exiting Intel Boot Agent.
I can see in the nodelist table that the status of this node is "failed" :
tabdump nodelist
#node,groups,status,statustime,appstatus,appstatustime,primarysn,hidden,updatestatus,updatestatustime,comments,disable
"b002","all,worker,ipmi","failed","05-15-2014
09:31:22",,,,,"synced","05-14-2014 16:27:49",,
"b002bmc","bmc",,,,,,,,,,
The /var/log/httpd/error_log on the MN gives me that error:
[Wed May 14 16:33:57 2014] [error] [client 172.30.0.2] File does not exist:
/tftpboot/mypostscripts/mypostscript.b002
[Wed May 14 16:33:57 2014] [error] [client 172.30.0.2] File does not exist:
/install/rhels6.5/x86_64/images/updates.img
The first error has been cleared by adding the following option:
chdef -t site -o clustersite precreatemypostscripts=1
Which gave me a kickstart-like file in /tftpboot/mypostscripts.
(I don't know if that was important but at least I don't have anymore the error
message.)
Regarding the second error, I checked on our other clusters with the same xCAT
version and OS, but this file doesn't exist and this error message neither.
The funny thing is if I force the next reboot on the HD, the node boots the OS
normally (rsetboot b002 hd).
So my only clues are this error message and the state of the node written in
the nodelist table.
I cannot find any log files
To me, the /var/log/messages on the MN seems normal:

Here are some details about my configurations:
The node (b002) and the management node are a Dell C6220 .
CPU: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2660 0 @ 2.20GHz
OS: RHEL 6.5
xCAT: Version 2.8.3 (built Tue Nov 12 23:16:15 EST 2013)
This is a Management Node
dbengine=SQLite
xCAT tables:
Noderes:
tabdump noderes
"worker",,"pxe","172.30.0.1",,"172.30.0.1",,,"em1","em1",,,"172.30.0.1",
nodetype
"b002","rhels6.5","x86_64","cluster","bellatest_node",
Any ideas?
Thanks.
