I will warn you we did not test or support  redhat6.5 until our next release 
xCAT 2.8.4.  You say you have working nodes with the same OS and xCAT level 
though.

Could you give us lsdef boot2   and a tabdump site.

Is this a new installation?   Might check the setup with this doc,  it is good 
for all x-series installations.

Subject: [xcat-user] xCAT - Node reboot problem

________________________________



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:
May 15 09:34:06 b01 dhcpd: DHCPDISCOVER from 00:23:ae:ee:b7:2d via em1

#boot

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.
