When you say " I think it gets its IP address according to the messages in
the console", I am assuming you are watching the node console through
rcons or some other means. When you say " I cannot find anything in the
logs", does that mean you do NOT see corresponding DHCP messages
in /var/log/messages on the MN? If not, then the first place to start
looking is to make sure you have the correct MAC address for your node's
install nic, that DHCP is configured correctly on the MN, and that you do
not have another DHCP server on your network that is responding to
broadcast requests. If DHCP is behaving well and you are seeing all the
correct communications in your MN /var/log/messages, then what is the last
that you see in the node's console output? and what is the last that you
see in your MN /var/log/messages for this node?

Subject: [xcat-user] xCAT - Node reinstallation not starting
Dear all,
We have an IBM cluster with 44 compute nodes.
I had to reinstall them for different reason. This went ok except for only
one node (node11).
Once I submitted the commands to prepare the node for reinstallation, it
boots correctly, I think it gets its IP address according to the messages
in the console, but does not respond to the ping. And nothing. It gets
stuck. I cannot find anything in the logs (/var/log/messages from the mn).
Tcpdump seems to have traffic with this node:
# tcpdump –i eth2
14:27:18.536865 IP aries.53291 > node11-bmc.7578: . ack 1494861 win 126
