One other thing, change the following. This may be causing you problems
and why you needed the precreatemypostscripts set.
You have in the site table, we put it there by default. Change it to
"no".
useflowcontrol","yes"
chtab key=useflowcontrol site.value=no
When you change the node definitions rerun nodeset
nodeset boot2 osimage=bellatest_node
rsetboot boot2 net
rpower boot2 boot
Does rcons work for you, might help to watch.

Objet : Re: [xcat-user] xCAT - Node reboot problem
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:

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.
