Did you mean you were running 2.3 or 2.8.3 xCAT release previously. In
any case, you can customize your postscript template. Please read this
documentation.
https://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/xcat/index.php?title=Postscripts_and_Prescripts
But for a non-node key'd table, I think your only option is
tabdump(linuximage)

Subject: Re: [xcat-user] xCAT variables during OS install
I found a solution to the above issue.
We had been updating xCAT from 2.3 version, and copying the templates from
one version to other.
After I removed the URL from the template, i observed that xCAT
automatically populated the same from OSimage table.
However, it would be good to know, how do we export xCAT variables before
the postscript section.

Hi all,
I am currently using xCAT 2.8.4.1.
I understand that xCAT variables could be used during post script
installation, by editing the postscript template that xCAT has provided.
However, i would like to use few variables before postscript
installation :
For example, the following table variable, helps receive the nfs server
information:
#TABLE:noderes:$NODE:nfsserver#
Is there anyway i could receive the linux image table information in the
same way?
I am trying to customize and automate the osimage directories to custom
directories instead of xCAT default.
Since linux image table does not have $NODE vause
I have tried to use
url --url
http://#TABLE:noderes:$NODE:nfsserver#/#TABLE:linuximage:\#TABLE:nodetype:$NODE:provmethod#\:pkgdir#
or
PROVMETHOD=#TABLE:nodetype:$NODE:provmethod#
PKGDIR=#TABLE:linuximage:$PROVMETHOD:pkgdir#
url --url http://#TABLE:noderes:$NODE:nfsserver#/$PKGDIR
I need to find a way to nest the table variables or assign the table
value to a variable and use them later.
Else, i would be happy to know - how does xCAT populate $NODE, and if i
could populate other variables in a similar way.
Please do let me know, if anyone has tried doing the above.
Thank you,
Lohit
